Isn’t It Grand? Grandparents Day!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022

Many churches observe Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, but very seldom mention anything about Grandparents Day.

This is a very serious mistake, because in some ways, grandparents are as important as fathers and mothers to a child. Paul wrote to Timothy and he mentioned his grandmother. Look at 2 Timothy 1:5, we read, “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Unjust Steward) #11

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

We have heard it said many times, in many places, by many people, “DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.”

This would be a great place to live if everyone lived by this Bible principle. The fact is, many among us would be irate, to say the least, if others treated us the way we treat others.

Being Remembered Forever Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 1, 2021

Memorial Day: After we die, we may be remembered for a short while for our accomplishments, but they will all fade away with our life. Is there any way that we can be remembered forever, or be remembered after we die? Yes there is!

Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 2:16, “For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come.” To be forgotten is one of our greatest fears. To some people, the only thing that really matters in life is making their mark; ...read more

Real Christianity: Clothing, Buildings, Money, & Extravagance

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

There is a lot of stuff out there claiming to be Christian, when it's not really Christian. It's a difficult situation for any real Christ follower. On one side you have a culture and society growing progressively more hostile toward Christian values.
