    Love is more than a four letter word, so how can I live it out?

    The Problem of Real Christian Love Love is more than a four letter word, so how can I live it out? 1 John 3:11-24 “We should love one another.” Seems obvious. That is the right Christian thing to do. But we live in the real world, where resentments, anger, grudges, violence, dominates. Look ...read more

     | 3,699 views

    What do people want when they are hurting? They want God’s Word that gives comfort. Here in Isaiah is a chapter on comfort. This chapter is announcing the coming Christ. He is our source of comfort. We can certainly take comfort from God’s Word in Isaiah 40.

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jan 7, 2022
     | 2,251 views

    To be able to “Love Well” means I embrace the 4 letter word, “LOVE.” But I must embrace the original definition and application given to the word “Love” by God and as God. The sad reality is the word, “Love” has been twisted, made to be filled with lust and loveless ways today.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,417 views

    God's Word is absolute. The Word of God is final. And His Word is binding, and it is truth! There is a reckoning at hand. It's the reckoning of God. And it is a reckoning of the sinful ways of this world and how we have literally pushed God out of our lives and our countries.

    God's Word is absolute. The Word of God is final. And His Word is binding, and it is truth! Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the Lord, I change not;" Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." John 14:9, "...he that hath seen me hath ...read more

    Is There Not A Cause?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 217 views

    God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

    As David stood in the Valley of Elah, the battle between Israel and the Philistines was nearing a breaking point. For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more
