Contributed by Brad Henry on Sep 9, 2011

This lesson shows us how we need to put ouselves in the postion of trials so we can be not only comforted by the Lord but also to bring others with us to heaven.

On the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus preaches there is one verse that means a lot to me. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” If you want comforted by the Lord then you either need to put yourself in a position of trials and struggles or something ...read more

Does God Hate Your Church

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 24, 2023

If your church was built by the will of man causing division in the Body, you are not in the path of blessing.

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among ...read more

Are You A Sower Of Discord

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 28, 2020

God has called us to unity, but too many thinking they are sowing in His fields are actually tearing up the field causing malnutrition in the Body because there is no fruitful harvest only wasted seed.

Fight We Must

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Nov 7, 2016

Many people make the mistake of reading what the Bible says in Exodus 20:13, “You shall not kill,” and then seek to apply this command to war.

I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all ...read more

A Prayer Of Praise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

The beauty of music, art, literature, science, and all of life is to lead us and others to praise God. Thank God for all which kindles love and appreciation for the Author of life.

The point of interest in this passage is not the fact that Daniel and his friends prayed. This is neither unusual nor surprising under the circumstances. Their lives were at stake unless they had a direct revelation from God. One would be shocked if they did anything else but pray. One does not ...read more

Living As One Of Christ's Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 7, 2005

For ambassadors of Christ to do their job to the best of their ability we need to acknowledge our difference from the world, even while we live within it and through the positives of that difference commend the gospel to those who haven’t yet heard it.

Today we’re going to talk a bit more about what it means to be an ambassador of Christ. In particular we’re going to think about what’s involved in ambassadors of Christ doing their job to the best of their ability. Paul is aware of the urgency of the task, of the need for people to hear about ...read more
