The Choices God Makes

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 17, 2022

Scripture uses the term “the elect” to describe Christians. That word (eklogç) has the meaning of picking or choosing. Christians are the chosen ones of God. He made the choice, and He set the standard for the choice.

The Man Whose Hand Froze

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 7, 2016

Do we aspire to be numbered with the warriors of God? To be listed as combatants in the spiritual battles that shaped their times? There is a roll being written of heroes who are willing to attempt things for Christ. Will you be on it?

The Pleasure Of Passion Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Christians have used the word so often for evil that it is hard to accept the reality that you can also be passionate for good. It is Biblical and Christlike to lust for the pleasure of those things that are pleasing to God.

Jesus said in Luke 22:15, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." Jesus used the same word used all through the New Testament for lust to describe His passionate desire to eat the final Passover with His disciples. He had a passion for the Passover. Paul ...read more

Abomination And Secret Sins

Warning!!

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 15, 2025

Many warnings are ridiculous, but there are also many that, if heeded, could save our lives. Like taking cover when a tornado hits, or turning around when the bridge is out. There are other warnings that are very important as well, and if not heeded will cause lasting hurt to our spiritual lives.

Alba 4-13-2025 WARNING!! I Corinthians 4:14-21 If there is danger ahead, it is good to have a warning. And it is wise to pay attention to the warning, whether it is a tornado siren, or a sign that says “Bridge Out”. But some warnings are worthless, ridiculous really, almost a joke. For ...read more

Can You Handle It?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 5, 2025

Do Not Be Tongue Twisted

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 9, 2021

O, for one to prophesy and maybe a thousand to sing, but none for a vain thing.

For over forty years I was a hardcore Cessationist, but now believe that God can do whatever He wants in any dispensation. The Holy Spirit has not run out of gifts nor was stripped of some by God after the first century or when the Bible was completed. That said, there are manifestations of ...read more

When Water Thirsts

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Mar 10, 2003
