Being To Friendly With The Enemy

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 19, 2022

In the last several years we have heard a lot about “fake news.” “Fake news” is what happens when something is reported to be true that isn’t true.

Fake news is nothing new. That is, we’re not the first generation to grapple with truth vs. lies. Human nature is such that many people find it easier to tell a lie than to tell the truth. If lying was a sport, it would be the most popular sport on earth today. Politicians have the reputation ...read more

James May In this most extraordinary year of 2020 there are many who are living in fear almost as though they are under a death sentence if they get around other people who they are not associated with all of the time.

Consequences Of Being Stingy Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Feb 12, 2024

The stingy person's money often flows away, like water from a clenched fist, only to be absorbed by others who know how to sow generosity and reap abundance.

In Luke 12:15, Jesus warns us, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions." Yet, how often do we find ourselves holding tightly to our resources, unwilling to share or give? Let me tell you, stinginess is a sin that can ...read more

Reward For Being Obedient

Contributed by Rev. Felix Cornelius Agyei on Jun 10, 2023

God's promise of a new beginning are not in a vacuum. It does not just take God to make it possible. Abraham had a part to play. In the same way, the new life and restoration that Jesus brings demand our participation. What then is our participation? THIS IS OBEDIENCE.

THE LORD, OUR OBJECT OF OBEDIENT The one whose voice and command we are to obey is the LORD Himself. The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who commanded OUR Father Abraham (Gen. 12:1). In Matthew, it is Christ Jesus Christ. We must learn to obey the Holy Spirit who now works in ...read more

Are We Being Obedient?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jul 10, 2023

In this passage of Scripture, Paul is writing to the Philippians, instructing them to be humble like Christ. How humble are we?

These verses are presumably from a psalm sung by the early Christian church. The passage holds many equals to the prediction of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53. As a song, it was not intended to be a finished assertion about the nature and work of Christ. Notwithstanding, a few vital attributes ...read more

Being Read By The Word

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2023

Kierkegaard once said, "When you read God’s Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, ‘It is talking to me, and about me.’” Is the Word challenging you? Convicting you? Bringing your life into alignment with God?

BEING READ BY THE WORD Heb. 4:12-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: A LAWYER GOES TO HEAVEN 1. A lawyer dies and goes to Heaven. “There must be some mistake,” the lawyer argues. “I’m too young to die.

Being Doers Of The Word

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 7, 2024

Just being "hearers" of God's Word won't save us; we must put God's Word into practice. It's not our talk, but our walk that God's will judge. The Word is a mirror that shows us how God sees us.
