Remind The People. . .

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Sep 6, 2020

I’m concerned about the future, for it seems that our nation is now establishing, through many of its leaders, courts & judges, a distinctively anti-Christian agenda. The values we cherish are under assault.

The People In The Pews

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Ezekiel is a interesting prophet. We can see from this passage of Scripture that he preached sermons that dealt with people where they lived.

I am sure that when Ezekiel got through preaching this sermon, there were not many standing at the back door telling him how much they enjoyed the sermon. This is why many will seek for a church where the Word of God is occasionally MENTIONED, but not PREACHED! For example, today it is not ...read more

The Blessed People

Jesus taught us is to challenge us and to encourage us.

The Blessed People Today, let's meditate on the gospel according to Matthew, chapter 5. The sermon that Jesus delivers is affectionately called the sermon on the mount.

No Perfect People

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on May 13, 2021

Some people believe that Christians are supposed to be and appear perfect, and that the only ones who can attend church are those who “have it all together.” The church is not a country club for saints, but a hospital for sinners.

Life is hard, and there are many people who are wounded and hurting inside, who are dealing with personal and emotional issues. This is true not only of unbelievers, but Christians as well; but all too often we come to church wearing a mask and putting on a show. People will ask us how we’re ...read more

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021

Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.
