Oh, how sad and sore distress’d Was that mother, highly blest Of the sole-begotten ...read more

    When we stand before God to give an account of our life on earth, He won’t ask how many fences we made, but how many bridges we built.

    Two brothers living on adjoining farms fell into conflict after 40 years of working together. It began with a small misunderstanding, grew to a major difference, and finally exploded in an exchange of bitter words, followed by weeks of silence. One morning, there was a knock on the older son’s ...read more

    Paul exhorts his readers concerning their relationship with their elders.

    As I considered speaking from the following passage of Scripture, I initially felt a little uncomfortable because I was exhorting and admonishing God’s people in an area in which I was personally involved. It is similar to a single mom who has to teach a child that giving a present to his mother ...read more

    A Passion To Serve

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 3, 2020
     | 8,776 views

    There is this big disconnect between loving the Lord and serving Him because many who say they love the Lord really don’t love Him. We will learn today that Jesus links together love and service.

    If one were to take a survey and ask Christians the question “Do you love the Lord” the results of the survey would probably indicate that 99.9% of all surveyed "loved the Lord." Most would even say they "loved the Lord a lot." If one were to survey these same people and ask ...read more
