Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 11, 2012

What To Do About A Broken-Down Church

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 7, 2009

God is not committed to maintaining a church just because it is there. His commitment is to maintain us if we show compassion, particularly on the young. Restoration of our church life in challenging times begins with repentance, self-examination.

Two or three weeks ago, on a Sunday morning, I noticed several of you staring straight up here, right into the notch of this arch.

The heart of God is to rescue the perishing. Paul caught the vision of God's incomparable love and was so moved that he too felt compelled to join God's efforts, regardless of the cost. The love of God should motivate us to rescue the perishing too!

COMPELLED BY LOVE 2 Cor. 5:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: school is back in session. 1. “How did school go today?” a mother asked her little boy. “Fine”, the little fellow replied. “We had a new teacher and she wanted to know if I had any brothers or sisters and I told her I was an only child”. “What ...read more

God Has Not Failed Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

God has not failed, nor has His Word been unfulfilled, for God's process of selection has narrowed down His elect to those of like faith with Abraham. All who had this faith among the Jews were the remnant, and they were the true Israel of God.

A story told among Jews in Yeman, Afghanistan, Iraq and Russia concerns two beggars who use to wonder in the streets collecting alms. They use to pass the king's palace, and he always gave them charity. One of the beggars always praised the king for his goodness and generosity, while the ...read more

What's That Smell?

Contributed by Dr. Robert Crowder on Apr 9, 2021

Peter understood the defilements that the world holds. The ways of the world are an “entanglement” to living the Christian walk. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IS NOT THE SALVATION OF THE BELIEVER. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IS TRUE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD!

WHAT’S THAT SMELL? 2 Peter 2:20-22 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for ...read more

The Church Does Not Enter The Tribulation – Reasons That Prove It – Part 1 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 12, 2023

Does the penalty need to be paid twice? We begin to look at the fact that the Church does not enter the Tribulation; look at the facts and evidence that it does not happen. We have been delivered from wrath that is coming.
