Contributed by Dove Inspirations on Jun 14, 2021

Nothing is hidden before The LORD

A few days ago, my pastor was talking with a few of us and he mentioned that the walls in heaven are transparent and crystal clear.

Summer Of Sin #2 Envy Series

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 20, 2021

Envy is a condition so poisonous that we’re not able to rejoice in the moment and enjoy what we have, but instead, find fault with it and say, “This isn’t good enough.” The root of it is that we don't trust God is caring for us.

Sin Leading Unto Death

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

The Bible tells us that there is a sin that leads unto death - one single sin - and it might not be what we expect. In fact, this one disqualifying sin will exclude us from ever going to heaven and receiving eternal life. So, what is this sin?

If there was a crime worthy of death, what would it be? Would it be murder, rape, spouse abuse, adultery, theft, gambling, or perhaps lying? Many of us would say that murder is worthy of the death penalty; and if any of us had a child that were raped, we would probably believe the person who ...read more

The Curse Of Sin - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 17, 2021

Sin left a curse. God’s curse is the absence of His blessings and the fall of Adam and Eve is only one of two places in the Bible where God pronounces a curse (the other being on Cain). There is a greater reality we often fail to see and that is there is hope in the curse.

The Man Of Sin And The Second Coming. Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

The fact that Christians fall for so much makes it clear why all the warnings are in the Bible to be cautious in following any other authority than the Word of God. There is no other foundation which is safe, for even the most godly and intelligent have demonstrated their ability to be deceived.

Christians have not been the least among the gullible who have fallen for all kinds of gimmicks. One could write a lengthy history on the nonsense of the way Christians have been duped. A man in Fort Worth, Texas is giving away flat gold plated two inch nails. All you have to do is pound it in the ...read more

The great American psychiatrist Karl Menninger, author of the book, Whatever Became of Sin, once stated that if he could convince patients in psychiatric hospitals that their sins were forgiven, 75% of them could walk out the next day. His statement underscores the struggle that all of us human ...read more

Sinners Suffering For The Sins Of The Saints

Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 22, 2024

The saints of God hold back the judgement of God by their righteous presence in the land. But if the righteous cease to be godly, what can delay God's righteous judgement?

Enduring Temptation And Overcoming Sin

Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on May 17, 2018

Temptation is the enticement of our natural, God-given desires to go beyond God-given bounds. We can blame our failure to resist temptation on others, Satan, or God Himself, but in reality, we are the ones who choose to indulge.
