    Does Your Church Want To Get Well?

    Contributed by David Wilson on Oct 15, 2012

    Some churches suffer from a defeated attitude when Jesus calls us to take simple steps, not giant steps. We aren't on an escalator, but must move our legs to climb the stairs set before us.

    Attended a confernece on recognizing, halting, and preenting decline in the local church this past Saturday. In reading the foreword to the book "Reaching the summit" by George L. Yates, the illustration of the lame man at the pool of Bethsaida is used to demonstrate the attitude of some churches ...read more

    When we examined the word "atonement," we discovered that the idea of compensation is paramount in the Old Testament. In the New Testment we discovered that Jesus is the compensation for our sins, and to offer anything else is to insult the Spirit of grace.

    ADVOCATE Last week we examined the word atonement, and we found that the word is rooted in the Old Testament, where one who committed sin had to offer a sacrifice to compensate for the sin. We closed with 1 John 2:1-2, as translated by the NIV My dear children, I write this to you so that you ...read more

    Strong images of a loving Shepherd, Jesus Christ, shows us God's great care, protection and guidance throughout our lives.

    Contend For The Faith

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,425 views

    When you hear the word “contend,” what comes to mind? An ugly fight? A heated argument? These are negative connotations, but contending can also be a very good thing, and that’s exactly what we see in the book of Jude.

    According to verse 3, Jude’s purpose for writing this letter was to encourage these Christians to contend for the faith. But what does that mean? Why should we contend, is it really necessary? And how do we do that? ANALYSIS OF VERSE 3 Diligence (Gr. spoude)—to interest one’s self most earnestly ...read more

First of all we remember that the mission of the church is to continue what Jesus began to do and teach (Acts 1:1). Acts 1:8 defines the outward spiral of ...read more
