    There are people who attend football games because that stuff is real to them. They eat, sleep, breathe, and live for football!

Probably it is: • Because someone invited them to attend • Because they were bored and had nothing better to do • Because some like to be part of large crowd Illus: Did you hear they have new postage stamps depicting the ...read more

    Some of you may remember a young lady by the name of Tracy Lyperd, who was a beauty queen in VA a few years ago.

    She was all smiles as she wore her crown. But when we read of her in the newspaper again, she no longer had a smile on her face because she was in some serious trouble with the law. Her boy friend had dumped her and married another woman. She drove 250 miles to seek revenge. She took along a ...read more

    Relying On The Work Of The Spirit

     | 1,742 views

    When we bear witness to the saving power of Christ, we must rely on the Spirit to empower our efforts.

    Jesus had told them to wait—His first disciples, I mean. He had given them important work to do—the most important work of all, actually—but He had told them not to attempt it just yet. No. They were to wait. “Don’t give,” He said, “until you have received. Nothing can be done by you until ...read more

    If I were to ask you:

    • “Do you believe in God?” you would probably say, “Yes, of course.” • And if I were to ask, “Do you know God?” you might say, “Yes, and I wish I knew Him better.” • But if I were to ask, “Do you have a deep abiding peace?” I suspect that some of you would reply, “No, I don’t.” Why would I ...read more

    Fruit Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Lucy Paynter on Oct 21, 2023
     | 1,433 views

    In Galatians 5:22–23, Paul shifts to happier thoughts, saying, “But the fruit of the Spirit is …” In what follows, he gives nine characteristics of the Holy Spirit’s work in the life of a born-again believer.

    Unlike the word works (of the flesh), fruit is singular, indicating that the nine characteristics are part of a unified whole and are not separable. In other words, a believer doesn’t have some and not others, though their relative strength may vary. Love, by which Paul means the love of God ...read more
