Don’t Look Back!

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 18, 2010

Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

Opening illustration: If a person sees a house on fire and does everything he can to rescue the occupants, he is heralded as a hero. And that’s the way it should be. Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more

Don’t Worry… Be Happy!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 22, 2022

Several years ago the #1 song on the pop charts was titled: “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.

It was an upbeat song with an upbeat message. While there was no theological message intended in the song, I think we Christians could take a lesson from the concept it employs. This song’s concept of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” should be the desire and experience of every Christian. In the world ...read more

Don’t Assume To Assume

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2022

One of the biggest ways to get ourselves in trouble in this life is to live a life of assumption.

I must confess as I preach this sermon to you that I am guilty of doing just that often. Illus: I am like the man who says: • People say I make too many assumptions. • I mean, they don't say it, but I know they're thinking it... But this is not something I am guilty alone, I think we ...read more

Don't Judge Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 5, 2022

God does not give human beings authority to judge the righteousness of others using our preferences as the standard. None of us are perfectly righteous ourselves. We are in no position to pronounce judgment because we can be guilty of sin.

Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 7:1-6 NIV (Don't Judge) 1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no ...read more

Don't Quit

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024

Our victory is assured because Christ was victorious. We are “more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Quitting is a shortcut leading to failure. We can finish strong when we focus on Christ.

Opening illustration: In 1952 Florence Chadwick attempted to swim 26 miles from the coast of California to Catalina Island. After 15 hours, a heavy fog began to block her view, she became disoriented, and she gave up. To her chagrin, Chadwick learned that she had quit just 1 mile short of her ...read more
