    Without a conscious decision to make God the most important part of your life - without the Helmet of Salvation - you allow the devil to attack your unprotected mind, and you WILL be deceived.

The rest of you need to get saved. · The moment you turn to Christ, Hell has your name on a bulletin board, and the more you serve your Savior, the bigger your name gets on that ...read more

    The crucial question is not, "Why do bad things happen to God’s people?" The crucial question is "What is the purpose of my life?"

    Gideon, Scientist Series

     | 3,432 views

    Is this pandemic God’s judgement against us? I am reluctant to say it, but what else can it be? It certainly ought to wake up all Americans to our responsibilities to restore goodness to our land.

    Gideon, Scientist Here in the Book of Judges, we see a very sad history. It’s not unlike some of the ages in our nation’s history, including the one we are laboring in today. Time after time we read that “The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into ...read more

    A look at the story of Philip in Acts 8. This message is one that focuses on God’s timing and takes a look at how God can bring something good from something bad.

    That's A Song To Sing

    Contributed by Joe W. Theus on Dec 30, 2015
     | 4,146 views

    Seeking comfort at times may come through singing songs you like. It is a part of the African American history to sing when frustrated, depressed, or even seeking decisions for life's quest

    This idea was prompted by a song of the world, as we would call it, "Only the strong Survive" by the late Jerry Butler. He talks about a love affair that went wrong and concludes that only the strong survive bad relationships. Of course, I agree and so, that's a song to sing. This Psalm by David ...read more
