    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 28, 2022
     | 3,183 views

    Most of us refer to ourselves as being “NORMAL.”

    It must be nice in this life when someone can be more than a NORMAL PERSON and become an “EXCEPTIONAL” PERSON. That is, when normal people die the preachers who do the eulogy can pretty much sum up their entire lives in 15 to 30 minutes. When the funeral is finished the family and friends can ...read more

    If knowing the will of God depends on the renewal of our mind and our total surrender to him, how can we be sure that it has taken place? Are we really living it out?

We pour a large jug of water (representing the HS) in it till the cup dispenses the milk completely and has water only. Introduction: What must be Renewed?

    How can we thrive in an ungodly environment? 1) Stand up for who we are, 2) Excel in what we do. In exile, Daniel was excelled, without losing his identity.

    It's nonsense to build our lives on a lie, but people do it. God calls us to build on a foundation of truth.

    There is nothing quite so destructive as a lie. No one wants to be lied to. It is nothing short of betrayal. And no one wants to be lied about. It is an ugly and contemptuous act. The Bible traces our worst problems back to a lie. The serpent, remember, asked the woman whether it was true what he ...read more
