Repairing The Altar Of The Lord

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

As you read through the sacred Scriptures, time and time again you read of altars.

Why? These people in the Scriptures understood the significance of altars. For example, after the flood, when Noah came out of the ark, he had a lot of things he had to do, such as: • Build a house for his family to live in • Plant a garden so his family could have food to eat But the Bible ...read more

The Mouth And The Heart

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 22, 2022

If God were to ask, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would your answer be? This is at least one place in scripture that you can go for an answer. There are others that are just as important. But today lets examine what is involved with the mouth and the heart.

Breaking The Sin Barrier

Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 30, 2022

At the same time God desires to do a good work in my life, Satan desires to destroy it. The way he does it is through sin. Sin builds a barrier between us and God. It has to come down.

God does not end his work in our life after we are saved, it has just begun. God desires that my life be Christlike, but he leaves it up to me. Philippians 2:12-13. At the same time God desires to do a good work in my life, Satan desires to destroy it. John 10:10. all of us at some time in our life ...read more

With Us - Peace Series

Contributed by Thomas Bartlett on Dec 10, 2020

Hold Fast To Him

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Jan 18, 2021

God listens to our prayers and answers them justly. Sometimes it might be irrelevant to the expectations of the one who prayed, but never a prayer is unanswered.

In times of difficulty, it is natural to lament, or blame somebody. But a disciple of Jesus Christ would react otherwise. Since his life is devoted to Jesus Christ, he is well informed about his savior. And nothing shakes his faith even in midst of darkness around. For instance, take prophet ...read more

"Jesus, The Exclusive Savior”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 24, 2021

The consensus- that some things were right others wrong is now replaced by a new "trinity": worship tolerance, celebrate diversity, praise pluralism, equity not equality. Woe to the man who dares speak against the New Trinity. A story: confession, a fable. John Stott, quote.
