Vanishing Values

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

| 2,937 views

William Bennett, author of “Vanishing Values,” dealt with how the American values our forefathers held dear are rapidly vanishing in our age.

It has proven to be true that history repeats itself. When God established Israel as a nation He gave them very strict laws, but by the time we reach the book of Judges we find those values, that God had tried to instill in that nation, HAD VANISHED. Look at Judges 17:6. We read, “In those days ...read more

What can you bring to help build God’s kingdom? Bring what you have, bring what is available and bring what is empty.

A WIDOWS OIL How much is a bar of iron worth? A plain bar of iron is worth $5. The same bar of iron if made into horse shoes would be worth $50. If it were made into needles, it would be worth $5,000. If it were made into balance springs for fine Swiss watches, it would be worth $500,000. The raw ...read more

The Responsibility Of Elders In The Church

Contributed by Steve Hereford on Aug 25, 2006

based on 11 ratings

In the Scriptures, Pastors are referred to as "bishop, elder, and overseer." Why are they referred to in this way. In this message, Pastor Steve will examine these and more terms as he talks about the responsibility of elders in the church.

We have completed our look at what elders are to be and now we’re looking at what elders are to do. In doing that, I would like to define the term that is found in 1 Timothy 3:1. It is the term translated "bishop." The term "bishop" is not a good translation because "it carries modern ...read more

Part 7f of this series of sermons addresses the function of leadership and overseeing the church as shown in the New Testament by various names - elders, pastors, bishops, overseers, presbyters, and shepherds.

This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

There are times in every Christian life when trials and tribulations seem so unfair. Often, they cause us (as they did Job) to lose sleep at nights.

(King James Verssion) “When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.” (New King James Version) “When I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I arise, and the night be ended?’ For I have had my fill of tossing till ...read more

There are times in each person’s life when real friends are needed.

Luke records a conversation that took place between Jesus and a lawyer concerning the question "What makes a real neighbor, or what makes a real friend?" The lawyer, apparently, was not a good neighbor and was looking for a way to justify himself. And so Jesus, as he oft times did, taught a lesson ...read more

God loves us even though we mess around with other gods. It’s the message of love and forgiveness God taught Israel through the marriage of Hosea and Gomer.

2The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD. 3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim.

Our words bring death or life. Therefore, it behooves us to "Watch Our Mouths." Sermon inspired by one listed on Sermon Central by Rev. Timothy Proctor titled: "Somebody Ought to Say Something" Some of this manuscript has been borrowed from his text.

When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more

36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day ...read more
