     | 4,888 views

    All way to meaning apart from God is but a grasping for the wind. But the way of Christ is the way to meaning.

    Can You Catch the Wind With Your Hands? Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 The Preacher uses many colorful metaphors to describe the vanity of everything he sees and does. In many ways, the Book of Ecclesiastes purposely paints the despair and futility he feels with the most colorful terms. He describes life to ...read more

    God Speaks Through Centering Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 7, 2014
     | 6,200 views

    The wonderful things God reveals to us when we are totally focused on Him in centering prayer.

    READ PASSAGE. When I first read this passage, I saw examples of centered prayer and how God can speak to you and will speak to you if we will only center on Him and listen to what He has to say. The first centered prayer session was Cornelius. Cornelius was a Gentile, but in verse 2 we find that ...read more

     | 2,148 views

    On of the things that hurts the Lord’s work is that sometimes people join the church who are not sincere in their relationship with the Lord.

    These join for wrong reasons. For example, if you ask people what kind of church they are looking for, some answers will be: • “Well, I do not really like that church, but I probably will join the one down the street because it is convenient.” • “I am looking for a church with a good youth ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (12 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 2,055 views

    We see many differences in God’s church today when we compare it to the New Testament church.

    For example, I am sure that if the apostle Paul could come back today and see the excellent buildings we worship in, he would marvel over them and see them as a big improvement compared to what they had worshipped in. But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more

    Illus: Some of the words that the congregation sang were, “Gimme that Old Time Religion” because they said: • It will do when I am dying, it will do when I am dying. It will do when I am dying, it’s good enough for me. • It will make us read our Bibles, It will make us read our Bibles, It will ...read more

    Saving America from our mess is bigger than who will be our next President. It is a prayerful dependence on God that comes by seeking God in his will; trusting God in his Grace; and Joining God in his Purpose.

    1. I am convinced that America is in an almost hopeless mess. a. Our hope is not in a new POTUS or US Congress b. It is not on a new focus of government c. Our hope is where it has always been, "In God We Trust" -- not our schemes/ourselves 2. Revival Prayer In 1857 there was a 46 year old man ...read more
