Contributed by Robert Walderman on Jan 3, 2015

God wants us to enjoy life, both everlasting life and life now.

“Eat, drink and be merry!” Ecc.8:15 This is a dangerous sermon! It is dangerous in that it can easily be misunderstood. It’s not one you might expect to hear in a Baptist church. It deals with an aspect of life that too often is preached as negative and sinful, but as ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians.
