Thy Will Be Done In This Election Season

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 13, 2024

Each of these commandments, when obeyed, restores part of the order given to us in the beginning. When disobeyed, the natural consequences of that disobedience punish us, and often that leads to grave consequences.

Pre-Election Sermon In the beginning of human history, or pre-history, to be precise, God created a man and a woman, and, like He did with all other animate creatures, He ordered them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. But God gave us humans one more command, to subdue the earth and ...read more

Is A.i. A Threat To Christianity?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 30, 2023

The development of a sentient, all-knowing being is shaking up civilization. Will it be like God? Will it have a soul? Will it make humans obsolete? Will it be able to replace pastors? Is this a fulfillment of Bible prophecy?

Not Yet Perfect

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 18, 2004

Funeral sermon for Doris Reynolds Parker, veteran teacher, civil rights worker, and mother, whose spirit of determination we can complete if we commit to justice, kindness and a walk with God.

Breaking Down Prejudices Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 8, 2024

The Jews, like all other people, had developed their own laws and customs which created unrealistic prejudices between them and Gentiles. This very thing is what is explored with Cornelius and Peter, and shows us God's intervention to break this down!

Righteousness Before God

Contributed by Charles Scott on Aug 2, 2008

Civilizations rise and fall as well as personal lives because of the quality of the relationship institutions and individuals sustain with God. God is merciful to those who approach him in humility and receive His graces joyfully.

RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE GOD - LUKE 18:9 Luke 19:41 Why do civilizations fail? Why do great cities fall to their enemies? Jesus wept over Jerusalem as he foresaw that the city was doomed to yet a 3rd visitation by her enemies. He saw that once again the engines of war would surround the city, the ...read more

Chaos Of The End-Times And Faith In Resurrection

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 17, 2022

We live now and follow the way of Christ, not only because it causes a peaceful and civil society, but we even deny ourselves now so that we can celebrate with Christ in His kingdom.

Saturday of the 33rd Week in course For those of us raised in a solid, middle-class home, in a reasonably ordered town or city, the scenes pictured in apocalyptic books like Revelation are hard to imagine. But those who were in Chicago in late August, 1968, and saw the police riot and ...read more

Mystery Babylon, The Lincoln Affair Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jul 21, 2015

The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God", Part 3

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 27, 2023

One of the major arguments (proofs) for the existence of God is based upon moral standards, defined as the concept of right and wrong, good and evil, ethics and emotions that are in our consciences and have guided civilizations throughout history.

The job of a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is not only share the Gospel, but also to make all non-believers uncomfortable in their assumptions.
