The Art Of Listening

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Feb 22, 2012

Former President Bill Clinton once said, "Being president is like running a cemetery; you've got a lot of people uner you...and nobody's listening." I think that God often feels like no one listens to Him.

God's Sovereignty: Is He Really In Control?

Contributed by Michael Mays on Jul 3, 2021

Idolatry Is Not Dead Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

We tend to dismiss idolatry because we think only of those who have visible forms of idols. This is still a part of our world, and it is amazing that people in the modern century have been just as foolish as were the pagans in the days of the prophets.

Preached To Death

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

In this account, Eutychus attended church in order to worship God, but he wound up dying right there in the preaching service! Do you think that you could trust God, or His Son, Jesus Christ, in a situation like this? Paul did!

At my first pastorate, during the middle of a funeral service, the floor to the sanctuary gave a loud pop like lightning striking, and then it fell about six to eight inches! The floor later had to be completely replaced. At another church where I pastored, the ceiling fell in; and of course, the ...read more

Why Does The Resurrection Matter To Us?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021

Why should we be so concerned about proving that the resurrection of Jesus really took place? Sadly, many Christians can tell you the details about the resurrection while never thinking about the way that truth effects their daily lives.

We all saw how the Apostle Paul proved the truth of the resurrection through the testimonies of 100s of people who saw the resurrected Christ first hand. But you might be asking, “Why does of any of it matter? Why should we be so ...read more
