The Kind Of Church I Want Mine To Be

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020

The only institution which Christ founded upon this earth is His Church. He established it more than 1900 years ago. The Church began with just a handful of believers, but through the years many have felt the power of the Gospel message as it was brought to them through the churches.

Some people say today that the influence of the Church is diminishing, but we know that it is still a mighty power in the hearts and lives of millions of people. Men may curse the Church today, but few, I know would want to live in a community where there is no Christian influence, no church. They ...read more

And They Continued

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 4, 2020

To continue means to persevere, endure, stick to it, or persist. That is the characteristics we must live today. So many are quitting, fading away or slipping back. Let's do our part to continue.

The church received the word of God. First, the word must be preached. Not ideas, thoughts, rules, philosophy, etc. Second, the word must be received. Welcome it, believe it, take it in, practice it, hold on to it, hunger for it, share it. Now the key thought is found in vs. 42 and 46, “they ...read more

Do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19). What does Jesus want us to remember? As we go through life, this meal … this “feast” … reminds us that the new covenant has been established. Signed and sealed in His blood. The Holy Spirit has arrived.

Six Spiritual Absolutes

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 10, 2022

All 120 were filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Peter testified and exhorted after this initial infilling, and 3,000 more souls were added to the church. The church experienced the infilling of the Holy Spirit and its power!

Six Spiritual Absolutes Found In— Acts 2:40-47NKJV I love the story about the Lutheran pastor who always started each service off with the phrase, “The Lord be with you.” The people then responded, “And also with you.” However, one Sunday the sound system wasn't working very well.

Spiritual Ingredients

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

We all have had the similar experience of having our taste buds seduced by a delicious meal.

But the moment we took one bite of that delicious food, we immediately knew that one of the main components that would have made this dish taste so good, such as salt or pepper, was missing. There are some ingredients that can be left out of a dish or a drink, and no harm is done, but then there ...read more

The Relevance Of Wonders

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 23, 2022

Many churches are asking why they are not growing and why their outreach efforts seem so ineffective. Evangelism is most effective when the proclamation of the gospel is accompanied by a demonstration of signs and wonders.

Ministry and evangelism can be difficult in a country like America that holds a western worldview. The reason why is because people’s skepticism and unbelief concerning “the unseen” and “the miraculous” can limit church growth. God has bestowed on His people authority and power to see souls saved ...read more
