Contributed by Bubot Parago on Apr 30, 2018

Lukewarmness is that state of being a little too cold to be hot and a little too hot to be cold; no fire, zeal or enthusiasm for the things of God. Believers who yawn in the face of God. How is lukewarmness manifested? Lukewarm about sanctification.

Lust Series

Contributed by Aneel Aranha on Dec 10, 2014

One of the deadliest of the seven sins, lust can destroy the soul. Here is how it works and how we can deal with it.

Before we begin talking about lust, we need to talk a little about sex. Hugh Hefner didn’t invent it. Neither did Hollywood. Nor the authors of the Kama Sutra. God created sex, and like everything he made it was beautiful. He didn’t waste any time getting to it either. Merely two ...read more

Avarice is the self-serving and inordinate love of and desire for money, wealth, power, food, or other possessions. Are we an avaricious people?

Leo Tolstoy once wrote a story about a successful peasant farmer who was not satisfied with his lot. He wanted more of everything. One day he received a novel offer.

Sloth Series

Contributed by Aneel Aranha on Jan 20, 2021

Sloth is a sluggishness of soul or boredom because of the exertion necessary for the performance of a good work. Are we guilty of it?

In the rain forests of Central and South America dwells a small ugly looking mammal called a sloth. This little creature is so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. When it moves—which is rarely, since it spends 20 hours a day sleeping—it travels at a top speed of 0.15 mph. When we think ...read more

The Landmine Of Anger Series

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on May 27, 2010

This series is based on Charles Stanley’s book "Landmines". The two messages on SC are two landmines which Dr. Stanley did not include. I highly recommend readding his book.

Earthquakes Examined Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

The first thing I learned about earthquakes in the New Testament is that they can be completely positive with no harmful effects. Our text is a case in point. Paul and Silas are delivered from prison by the violent earthquake that opened all the doors.

It was in Santa Clara, California, in the summer of 1988 that Lavonne and I experienced our one and only earthquake. We were in a motel and the bed began to vibrate like it does when you put a quarter in the machine at the side of the bed. It only lasted a few seconds, but even that made ...read more
