The Solid Truth Concerning Salvation

He is to appear before Nero and give an account of his work, teaching, and testimony concerning the Lord Jesus Christ and the salvation from sin He provides to all ...read more

Repentance

Contributed by Tony Abram on Nov 8, 2020

The Fear Of God - The Missing Foundation In Modern Christianity Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 17, 2020

We who call ourselves followers of Jesus Christ in these last days have, for all practical purposes, allowed the world to tell us what to think and say when it comes to the authority of the Scriptures, the person and work of Jesus, God's nature, and the coming judgment upon this wicked and ...read more

The Proclamation Of The Church, Part 2

What's Your Excuse?

Contributed by Esther Collins on Mar 20, 2023

When God calls us for a task, do we accept it joyfully or do we give excuses? Here are some common excuses that we should avoid so God can fulfill His great purposes through us.

The Lord wants to use each one of us, and only if we are available and seriously desire to do so can He use us.
