    We are very familiar with the saying, “Same old problems, Different day.” We’ve prayed/fasted about it ...had the preacher/other Christians pray for us and we just on going back to the same sin that has tripped us up for years. (The usual defiance.)

    A Detailed look at the Consumption of Alcohol by the Born-Again Believer

    The Trial Of Our Christian Faith

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 10, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,379 views

    When we talk to the genuinely curious, we show God’s love. We show that we want to be with God and want others to be with him. We will love the things and people that he loves. We will hate the things and people that he hates. We will love others.

    The reading we heard from John 5:30-47 a few minutes ago takes place during a “trial”, but it was not held in a courtroom. Jesus had just healed the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethsaida, and the healing took place on the Jewish Sabbath. The Jews had strict rules about what could and ...read more

    4 Steps To Be A Hygienic Christian

    Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 17, 2015
     | 9,166 views

    Paul talks about having "sound" doctrine or faith (1 Tim. 1:10, Tit. 1:13,2:2, etc). The word "sound" in Greek is "hygienic" and means to be healthy. We discuss the 4 steps to being a hygienic Christian.

    4 STEPS TO BE A HYGIENIC CHRISTIAN Ps. 119:97-100 INTRODUCTION A. ALL YOU CAN EAT PLACES 1. I think that one of the wisest decisions ever made in the food industry was the idea of the “All You Can Eat Buffet.” Many restaurants only offer this option and it has proven to be very ...read more

     | 6,449 views

    Are Christians bound by the Law of Moses? As a result of misinterpretations of God's word, unsubstantiated allegations AND misperceptions that arise from misguided Biblical teachings, the church is MORE divided today than EVER.

    “For it seemed good to the HOLY SPIRIT, AND to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you ABSTAIN from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.” ...read more

    Our Dialogue With Non-Christians Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 22, 2017
     | 3,014 views

    I think what happens is that when someone hears the Gospel–that God so loved us, weak and sinful though we are, that He gave His only Son up to death, that this Son rose and wants to give us the same gift–there are only two possible responses.

    THE AWESOMENESS AND NEARNESS OF GOD Psalm 99 The kingship of the LORD is awesome: it makes the people (or peoples) to “tremble” at His presence (Psalm 99:1).

    Your Christian Litmus Test

    Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Apr 29, 2017

     | 5,504 views

    To many churches today have become club houses, they gather together miss-appropriating the verse, "meeting together" (Hebrews 10:25) Their church gatherings have become social meetings, talking about themselves, their community events or political views.

    Your Christian Litmus Test Dictionary dot com has this definition for Litmus Test, "a crucial and revealing test in which there is one factor." Meghan McCain wrote, "The Democrats seem to have mastered inclusiveness - whereas Republicans, like a country club, seem to require a litmus test." ...read more
