  • Reasonable Expectations

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,211 views

    Life has become very frustrating for many professing Christians, primarily because their EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT REASONABLE.

    Illus: Reaching the end of a job interview, the Technical Recruiter asked a young Engineer fresh out of college, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The recruiter ...read more

  • Shrewd As Serpents Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,684 views

    “Be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves” (Mt. 10:16). This verse is not advocating hypocrisy. We are not to employ the methods of the ungodly, but we should posses a similar creative capacity. We need to be clever in our dealings.

    In Matthew 10:16, Jesus advised us to “be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.” Was Jesus telling believers to be two-faced hypocrites? Was He saying we need to be unjust in our daily activities and dealings, and then turn right around and act like model Christians on Sunday? No. Jesus was ...read more

    I read again this week the wonderful story about Ed Kimball, a Sunday school teacher.

    He won a young fellow to the Lord who became the well-known D. L. Moody. After evangelizing America, D. L. Moody started to evangelize England. There in England Frederick B. Meyer heard his message. One of the illustrations that Moody used did not at first stir Brother Meyer. Then one of his ...read more

    Fundamental Foundations of Faith: Understanding the Apostasy INTRO. A. Last week we began a series of lessons on the fundamental foundations of faith. We began by looking at the church. 1. We are the “called out.” The meaning of the term “church” or Ekklesia.” 2. We also saw ...read more

  • The Smiths

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,369 views

    Demetrius “Smith” represents someone whose judgement is clouded by selfish desires. Alexander "Smith" represents someone who doesn't want to be alone in his sin; who makes it a point to cause other Christians to stumble.

    I’ve entitled our message for this evening, “The Smiths.” Have you heard about the Smiths? Take for instance Zipporah Smith. “Who’s that?” you may say. Well, her husband, Moses, was used by God to deliver the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt. You see, Zipporah was a Kenite, and the word ...read more

    Have you ever received one of those chain letters that tells you to send a copy of the letter to several other people, add your name to the list, and so on?

    We call these letters chain letters and most of the time included in the letter is a curse of some kind if you break the chain. Illus: There’s a story about a church that decided to include in their newsletter something similar. It had some tongue-in-cheek suggestions for church members that ...read more

  • The Book Of Mark #62

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,788 views

    This can be a difficult chapter to understand! It becomes difficult because some of the things the Lord talks about in this passage are BEFORE and some are AFTER the tribulation period.

    You can not take Matthew 24, 25, or Mark 13 and say this is how things are going to happen chronologically. Everything that the Lord said would happen, will happen, but not in the sequence He gives them. Notice, as the disciples were walking with Jesus past the Temple, they commented on the ...read more

     | 1,094 views

    God is a God of variety. This is very easy to prove.

    All we have to do is look at His creation to see this is true. However, this is not always true among mankind. Often men try as hard as they can to make things similar.. Illus: Many people visit fast food restaurants from time to time. Have you ever noticed that no matter where you go across ...read more

     | 1,227 views

    Some of you may remember a young lady by the name of Tracy Lyperd, who was a beauty queen in VA a few years ago.

    She was all smiles as she wore her crown. But when we read of her in the newspaper again, she no longer had a smile on her face because she was in some serious trouble with the law. Her boy friend had dumped her and married another woman. She drove 250 miles to seek revenge. She took along a ...read more

  • "Be Not Ye Therefore Like Unto Them” (4 Of 4)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022
     | 904 views

    Every parent here has seen children that he considers to be “spoiled brats.”

    When you saw those children, you probably said to yourselves, “I do not want my children to be like those children.” That is exactly the way the Lord felt about the Pharisees and Scribes except that He looked at them and knew that they were hypocrites more than spoiled brats. Because of this, He ...read more

  • The Manner In Which We Are To Pray

     | 1,454 views

    Many times we will select a small passage of scripture from the Bible for our devotional reading each day.

    However, just picking a verse or two can be very dangerous. That is, we may not receive all the blessings from the scripture we may select. We must read more to discover the context of the passage. For example, one passage that is often taken out of context is what is commonly called the Lord’s ...read more

    Can a prayer move the heart of God?

    Recently, my 7-year-old grandson Alonso told me that his daddy, my son, carries around a lot of money in his pocket. I asked him how much and he told me: $1,200! He turned to me, “Papa, how much do you carry in your pocket?” I said, “$20” and he replied, “That is so sad.” Sometimes we act like ...read more
