    Today, If You Hear His Voice . . . Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 1, 2021
     | 3,891 views

    The possibility of falling away from Christ is greater than most of us think--no one is entirely immune from this awful outcome. It all begins with how we come to respond to God's voice, when we know He has spoken to us, and even in small things, choose to ignore Him.

    One of the great challenges of the pastoral profession is discerning who to help among those who are in evident financial need, and when to help them, and then how much to help them. Despite our best and most sincere efforts, pastors young and old, sometimes fail. I remember well the story of a ...read more

    I am not one who keeps up with the various rock group singers. In fact, I do not believe I could name one rock group that exists today.

    What is interesting about these rock groups is how they decide who is going to be the lead singer. Illus: Someone suggested they did it this way. Someone starts off as a guitar player but he can not play. The group then gives him some sticks, puts him in the back, and calls him a drummer. When ...read more
