The Secret To Church Growth - The Bible Is All About Jesus - Not Us!

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 22, 2018

When a person preaches from the Bible, with their audience as the primary focus, it becomes an empty narcissistic and hedonistic exercise in futility.

I have watched, listened to, and read countless sermons in my 50+ years as a Born-Again Christian and I have noticed the continued increase in feel-good, self-help, multi-point motivational messages that are more focused upon fallen human beings than upon Jesus, who has become more of a ...read more

What Will They Show After Your Death?

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 24, 2016

It is true that deeds of believers follow them even after death. Thus when death occurs, let us be just this blunt about it, some believers leave a vacuum that just cannot be easily filled. After we become Christians, our deeds do matter here & beyond.
