    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 26, 2021
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,977 views

    The subjective ever-changing cultural mores continue to creep into the church to replace the Bible as the final and absolute authority in the life of the Born-Again Christian.

    The mother of a high school student told me that a few kids in the youth group said they were non-binary (also known as ENBY or NB) and were questioning the Bible about its two sexual gender emphasis. That disturbed me deep in my spirit which led to this message. I started ministry decades ...read more

    The Church was charged to go out to preach and baptize every race of humans. This suggests that each of us has that same task in this culture of death.

    Friday in the Octave of Easter 2025 The last of the prophetic books of the OT, Malachi, concludes with a description of the “day of the Lord,” on which “all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble” and will be burned up leaving them with “neither root nor branch.” But for those who fears ...read more

    Esther lived within the Persian Empire, an environment hostile to the Hebrew people. Although their situation seemed dire, God had a plan to preserve and prosper His people. The opening passage provides insight to the culture in Persia.

    The Decadence of the King Esther 1: 1-9 The opening chapter of Esther reveals the ungodly condition of the society in which God’s people were dwelling. It was a culture that possessed and promoted unbridled lusts and insatiable appetites. The people within Media and Persia had one goal in life: ...read more

    We live in an interesting world to say the least. We live in a time when a great deal of upheaval is happening all around us. A great many of our traditional Christian beliefs are either being replaced, ignored or reinterpreted. How do we stay faithful?

    America doesn't have a homosexual problem; we have a human sexual problem. If you consider yourself a Christian, God expects all of us to practice sexual purity.

    INTRODUCTION Today I’m going to talk about “God’s Definition of Marriage.” This is the most popular trending topic today since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states. However, I’m not just speaking today in reaction to this ruling. Most of you know I teach ...read more

    To move forward in our faith, we must go back to the beginning.

    Last spring, while we were crossing the new I-74 bridge, Beth made an astute observation about the old bridge.

    Christianity is the underpinning of western civilization, and as we jettison it for entertainment, nihilism, pleasure, and post-modernism, we unsurprisingly see a society tipping into chaos

    In our desperate search for what went wrong with western civilization, digging through layer after layer, social structures breaking down, norms shifting, confusion abounding, unrest spreading, and suicide flourishing, we search and long and cry out, "What has gone wrong!?" We think to ...read more

    The Word provides a description of life in the "last days." We are forewarned so that we can continue to live godly lives even as the world grows dark.

    “Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    This exposition of Zechariah 2:10-13 is a message of hope and encouragement for God's people. Israel had endured humiliation and hardship when carried into captivity by Babylon. But God is working a plan for those who love him that is absolutely glorious.

    Though Babylon was not suitable for prayer, no temple was there, no synagogue existed during his time. He had his scripture. Even though the palace was surrounded by images and idols of the Babylonian gods and goddesses, he never missed his prayer time.
