    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 30, 2009

    Scripture Introduction It seems that many congregations will tolerate unbiblical preaching as long as the pastor is not rude or mean or sharp with them.

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 1, 2023
     | 2,403 views

    This is no time for any man of God or serious Christian to be shy, hesitant, compromising, or half-hearted in our commission from the Lord Jesus Christ to go out into the world and preach His gospel. Today is the day to be bold for the kingdom of God.

    Fellow preachers and servants in Christ, I must admit that it seems as if we are proclaiming the truth of the Gospel to stone walls these days. I have never seen such indifference and apathy in people concerning the state of their souls as I do now. We see and hear of so-called ...read more

    The Bible describes David as "a man after God's own heart". His character and actions reflected a genuine desire to obey and love the LORD. As a result, he was chosen by God to be the next king of Israel, replacing the dynasty of Saul, whose rebellious and defiant actions resulted ...read more
