How To Measure Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Love is only effective and truly Christian love when it is built on the foundation of all the other virtues. As soon as this is forgotten love becomes sentimental, and is reduced to an emotion, and its power is gone.

Tradition says that John the Apostle of love was carried to the Christian assembly when he was so old he could not walk, and his constant advice was, "Children love one another." When he was asked why he told them one thing all the time he replied that nothing else was needed. On the ...read more

Do Not Forget Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

To build well in this life we must remember the past instructions and warnings. Memory is a must to men of maturity, for he who forgets is as bad off as he who never knew.

Virgil, the ancient poet, describes the river Lethe as flowing through a tranquil landscape, and on its banks wandered a countless multitude who drank of its waters which washed away all memory of the past. This would seem to be an ideal situation for sinful creatures like we are, for we are ...read more

Simon, Simon

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

The very first thing that I noticed about our text is the doubling of Simon’s name in Jesus’ statement, “Simon, Simon”.

The doubling of words almost sounds like people when they stutter. Often people who stutter repeat their words. I love to hear people who stutter. I do not mean that in a derogatory way, I REALLY ENJOY HEARING PEOPLE TALK WHO STUTTER. Illus: A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes ...read more

Is Man Created By God Or An Evolved Animal?

Contributed by Raymond Petzholt on Nov 28, 2022

Which foundation of Faith will you choose to find life? The Revelation of an omniscient God which reveals your life has eternal value and purpose or the theory of ignorant men that says you are an accident of time and chance without real purpose in life?

Genesis 1:26-27: Is Man Created by God or an Evolved animal? Which Foundation of Faith will you choose to find life? 1. The Revelation of an omniscient God: “In the Beginning God created” (Gen. 1:26-8; 2:7; Rev. 4:11). How? By Infinite Wisdom & Power. If true, we are special; life has ...read more

The Coins Of The Bible

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Masses of people are coin collectors and having this knowledge of Bible coins opens the door for you to be a witness to such people.

THE COINS OF THE BIBLE Based on Mark 12:41-44 Florence Banks in her book Coins Of Bible Days says that the handling of ancient coins does with time what radio and TV do with space.
