Our Compassion And Our Consecration

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021

It is believed by many that some of the best training for life that one receives at college is not in the classroom, but in the dormitories.

That is, there are some roommates that can teach you more about life in the dorm, than any college professor can teach you in a classroom. One thing they certainly can teach you a lot about is patience. When you have a roommate in the dorm: • When you want to study, he wants to play the radio • ...read more

They Know Not What They Do

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

We go through life laughing because it helps us through the hard times.

Someone has said, “Laughter is like changing a baby’s diaper--it doesn’t permanently solve any problems, but it makes things more acceptable for a while.” We find ourselves today laughing at many things in life, such as: - WE LAUGH AT JOKES.

Faithful Until Death

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

Notice the condition on which this promise is made. The Lord said, if we are faithful unto death, He would give us a CROWN OF LIFE.

He did NOT say, “If you are faithful a few short years I will give thee a Crown of Life”. There are times the devil tells us that as Christians, we are wasting our lives serving the Lord. But I can assure you, based on the Word of God, that we are doing the smartest thing a person can do with our ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

Generally when we are hurt, we have a place of refuge that we flee too. That place of refuge is generally one of four places.

(1) WE MIGHT FLEE TO A PARENT. For those of us who are blessed to still have our parents around, we may FLEE TO THEM in times of difficulty. Why? Because, when we face the difficulties of life, we want to have someone on our side, and we know that our parents will always be there for ...read more

Joseph: Reunited With His Family Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 13, 2022

Joseph was separated from his family at the age of 17 not because of war, but because of the wicked jealousy of his own brothers. In their jealousy they sold Joseph into slavery and presented his ornamented coat to their father. God used this for his purposes.

A popular television feature is to find a situation where a family has been separated because of war or some tragedy. The show does research to find out where the missing family members are. Then they reunite the family on television. It certainly makes for a moving experience with tears and ...read more

God Shut The Door Series

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 18, 2021

Once the time was right for the flood, God gathered Noah and his family and all the animals into the ark and God shut the door to the ark.

I am going to begin a new series of messages today. I think from the picture you can figure out what the theme is going to be – doors. I began researching doors in the Bible and discovered the word door is used around 260 times. Many of those times it refers to an actual door or doorway, but in ...read more

Good Out Of Evil Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Remember Lot's Wife

Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 19, 2021

These scriptures refer to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Sooner than most of us believe, Christ will return to catch his bride away. A warning is found here to those who are not prepared to stand before the judgment seat of God.

If we are to have a part in God's Kingdom, if we expect to be saved from the judgment of God, we must be prepared. To expect heaven to be our home one day, doesn't come by chance. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. John 14. There will be no time for preparation at the end of ...read more
