    The Armor Of God 6 Of 8

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,386 views

    So often when preachers preach on the armor of God they will deal with one certain piece of the armor, but not the whole armor of God. This kind of preaching needs to be done with caution.

    Why? Because anytime we preach on the armor of God, we need to stress what this passage of Scripture is stressing, that is, we need to put on the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, not just a particular piece. The fact is, if we do not put on the whole armor of God, we might as well not put any on. Why? Because ...read more

    Stewardship (3 Of 4)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022
     | 1,299 views

    Again we would like to turn our attention to those passages in the Bible that deal with our being stewards of the money God has blessed us with.

    I would like to remind you that stewardship is taught in both the OLD and the NEW TESTAMENTS. In Matthew 23, Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for what they were NOT DOING, while recognizing what THEY WERE DOING. He noted that they were careful to tithe of every plant that produced ...read more

    Jesus’ question to Peter, "Do you love me more than these?" could be taken in at least three ways, each posing an important challenge to look closely at our own devotion to the Savior.

    Let’s start with an easy question. Have you ever been betrayed? If so, you know the pain of broken trust. Now for a more difficult question; Have you ever been the betrayer? It isn’t a difficult question because you don’t know the answer, but because the answer can be very painful. If you’ve ...read more

    Dated 1988. Part dialogue, part conversation, between the preacher and his wife. Pain is caused by absenting ourselves from those against whom we have a grievance. Mothers understand compassion and challenge the rest of us to reconcile.

    It is very appropriate that Margaret join me in bringing the message today… appropriate not only because she is a mother, but also because today’s message was inspired by both of our mothers … both hers and mine. Several years ago my mother was sitting in her living room reading the newspaper with ...read more
