Why We Should Wait On The Lord

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 17, 2022

In our text, God talks to us about waiting. Waiting is something none of us enjoy doing.

Most of us would have to admit we have never heard anyone say, “I love to wait”.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 19, 2022

Nevertheless, if a Minister of the Gospel loves the Lord, he is compelled by his love for the Lord to preach on these verses of scripture. Why? Because these verses of ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 20, 2022

We often hear of serial killers, and when we do we cannot help but ask ourselves why would a person kill again and again.

To kill one time is bad enough, but some of the serial killers have killed 30 to 40 people. Illus: Every time they catch a serial killer they generally give them extensive psychological tests to try to find out what motivated them to do such things.

"Is Not This The Carpenter...?”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 28, 2022

I would like to draw your attention to the section of the Bible that tells us that Jesus was a carpenter.

We do not hear many sermons highlighting this part of the Lord’s life. However, most of Christ’s life on earth was spent as a carpenter. We read about the last three-and-a half years Jesus spent on earth in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. In their accounts we read that He went everywhere ...read more
