    Our roles from husband and wife seem to change quite drastically when we become parents. We will try to cover this subject as carefully as possible. We absolutely, as parents, have to understand that we not only teach, but that we must guide by example.

    Marijuana Use: Willingly Walking Into Bondage

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Feb 1, 2014
     | 8,167 views

    What's really behind the movement in America to legalize marijuana? Why do we want to sanction people being put into bondage to a substance and in a broader sense sin? This is very troubling as Christians seem to be having a hard time standing against sin

    A couple of weeks ago I preached a message on the Christian views on legalizing marijuana in America. If you’ll recall, I wasn’t very supportive of the idea. The notion that we can legalize sin and somehow make state sanctioning of sin a good thing despite the fact that legalizing ...read more

    Jesus' encounter with the Gerasene demoniac is a terrifying scene. This sermon applies the circumstances of the demoniac's transformation to contemporary individuals and even groups.

    After Ehud, Israel has peace for 80 years. He holds the record of bringing the longest period of peace during the period of the judges.

    Some people think leadership does not matter, but it does. Notice, the Bible makes a point to show us that they had peace in the land as long as Ehud was alive. It was after he died the Bible tells us they fell off the wagon and began to do evil again. Look at Judges 4:1, we read, “And the ...read more
