And still, every year, I get affected by the winter blues. Days are so short, and the clouds are so thick, that some days it seems to me that the sun does ...read more

    Dough And Bucks

    Contributed by Terry Melton on Aug 4, 2019
     | 3,211 views

    Looking at “dough” and “bucks.” I am not referring to the kind of “deer” that God created, but rather the "dough" and "bucks" that man created, and hold too "dear" to our hearts, for the love of money is the root to all kinds of evil.

    When my daughter was little, we were driving along a country road, and she spotted a deer. She asked, “Does the deer have any doe?” I said, “Ya. Two bucks.” Today, we will have a look at “dough” and “bucks.” I am not referring to the kind of “deer” that God created, but rather when we hold the ...read more

    Sermon from Nehemiah that commends believers to engage in the call to destroy one kingdom while at the same time work together to build another

    The Sword and the Trowel A Call to Build and to Fight Introduction: The church that the world loves the most is sure to be the church that God despises.

    Allowing God to see who we are from the heart

    We live in a culture, a society and a time when people are impress with how each other look or what we know. We have gotten so far into this fad that we are afraid to allow people see who we are and what we really look like.

    The Lord warns us that our eyes should be trained to be pure. Many are struggling with the sins of the eyes, because while there is much restriction as to what one can do with their hands and legs, there is no restraint set as to what one can do with their eyes.

    Train your conscience - Part 2 In the past few chapters, we have delved deep into the subject of our conscience. To summarize briefly, we understand that our conscience is placed inside of us by God Himself, it is God’s gift to us, which serves as our internal audit to help us be aware of what is ...read more

    Jeremiah's prophecy of the sash. The effort put forth in holding up one’s clothes represents a willingness to labor for the Lord, and letting ones clothes drag along the ground is symbolic of laziness and a lack of zeal for God's work.

    In days of old, ladies who wore long dresses would lift them up past their ankles when they were walking near a mud puddle or climbing up some stairs. One reason why they did this was so they would not trip and fall; but another reason was to keep their clothing nice and clean. In order to keep ...read more
