After their hunt, the kids divided into 3 different groups. Each group picked up a bed sheet and ...read more

     | 29,984 views

    What caused Deborah to remember a curse placed upon the inhabitants of Meroz in the middle of a victorious ballad? Are we in danger of falling under the same curse today in modern Christianity?

    The Curse of Meroz There are three types of people in the world—those that wonder what happen, those that watch things happen, and those that make things happen. Thus it is with the Church of God today. There is a rich mixture of the three classes here mentioned. There is nothing ...read more

    Are You A Cain?

    based on 54 ratings
     | 5,569 views

    Today we consider what led to Cain's act of murder. In that we see the cause, the consequences and the cure of sin. And we have to ask ourselves "Am I A Cain?"

    Introductory Considerations 1. Are you a Cain? 2. I would think and hope that everyone here would quickly be able to answer "of course not", for as we just read, Cain was a murder - in fact the first murderer of all time. 2. How could I even think to ask this question? How could I ever think ...read more

    Forgotten Forgiveness

    Contributed by Keith Linkous on Sep 5, 2001
    based on 76 ratings
     | 4,720 views

    For believers, this is the sadest thing that could ever happen. This message causes a self evaluation as to how well we remember that we are saved by grace, and owe our lives to God.

    Psalms 32:1-2 and 2 Peter 1:2-9 It really shouldn’t surprise us at the great lengths the Bible speaks of forgiveness. Our entire message, faith, belief, and life is based on that one thing: forgiveness. And in the Bible, in all the various ways forgiveness is discussed, there stands out, ...read more

    Poor brother Eutychus! He slept himself out of the church. Why did he fall asleep? What’s causing most Christians to become drowsy today?

    Eutychus There is no doubt in my mind that something catastrophic is about to happen. If you have been watching the news or listening to it then you ought to know and feel the same thing.
