    Everyone is concerned about time and making sure that our time is not wasted. More activity doesn't mean that you are more productive only a lot more sweaty.

    Proverbs 23:4 (NASB) 4 Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Cease from your consideration of it. 5 When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. Do not let your heart envy ...read more

    Is our world restricted to what we can see? What if there was another dimension? Activity . . . but we only catch glimpses. We need to open our eyes and see the unseen.

    I. Introduction Out of sight . . . out of mind can be more than just a statement about forgetfulness. It can also be a dangerous and costly spiritual condition. I can remember growing up hearing this statement about church folks . . . "They are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly ...read more

    Is our world restricted to what we can see? What if there was another dimension? Activity . . . but we only catch glimpses. We need to open our eyes and see the unseen.

    I. Introduction I recently read this statement about loss of sight. Vision problems may signal serious health conditions, and they can increase your risk for injury or death.

    How Long Must I Keep Preaching

    Contributed by Bob Phillips on May 13, 2014
     | 4,663 views

    When age, activities, physical conditions hinder, or it seems we are just spinning our wheels so to speak, we ask "How long must I keep trying"?

    Text: Isaiah 6: 1-11 Isaiah was awed at the majesty and power in the presence of God. He saw the need to minister around him and heard God's command to do so. The same as in our time, The Prophet saw wickedness on every hand or every side. The need for God's ministry was so great yet the people ...read more

    Should Churches Do Business?

    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Aug 3, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,280 views

    A church should be an active, contributing member of its community, rather than a closed-off mini-community that keeps to itself and this can extend to becoming involved in business or in the business community.

    Churches in business Luke 19:13 - So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, “Do business till I come.” God always intended for the priesthood to reinvest a portion of the tithe, with the expectation of a return. It was part of His plan to show ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Jan 17, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,225 views

    For the Christian, God’s Word should lead to praise. Along with prayer, service, and witnessing, praise should be an active part of the Christian life. As with all of these qualities, praise is connected to the Bible.

    God promised the Israelites that He would lead them out of bondage and into the Promised Land. How sad that they did not believe His words until after they saw victory over the Egyptians. For the Christian, God’s Word should lead to praise. Along with prayer, service, and witnessing, praise ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,488 views

    The chief priests were meticulous in making sure the "blood money" didn't go into the treasury while they were actively working on a murder. What are ways we see the small things while missing the big picture?
