When You Can't Get Up

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Aug 11, 2007

There are too many people who become recluse when we can’t get up. Instead of getting surrounded with people to help us, most of us try to eat the problem away or starve the problem away and stay behind closed doors.

I was chatting with my younger sibling brother this week and I told him what I was preparing my sermon for Sunday. I gave him my subject, “When you can’t get up.” He said, “Sing I’m satisfied with Jesus here and stay in bed.” After we laughed that one out he asked what it was really about. When I ...read more

Sure Reward Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 8, 2021

In these trying times when calamity engulfs us, many have grown weary in their prayer life. God wants to reassure such that there is definitely a reward for those who pray fervently. The time we spend alone in the presence of God, behind shut doors is not in vain.

Psalm 91 - Study 20 - A Sure Reward We read in Psalm 91:8, “Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.” (NKJV) The word that we will study in depth from the above mentioned verse is the word ‘reward’. For every action of ours we can be certain that there is a ...read more

God Of Love, God Of Justice: A Future Heaven, A Future Hell

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021

God's works are many in the world and of particular beauty. Yet there is also the proclivity of man toward evil. God allows for free will, which opens the doors to almost any possibility. Which explains why the world is so messed up.

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires ...read more

Who Is A Whosoever?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 23, 2023

Whosoever is a formal term for "whoever." That means anyone, you, me, the next-door neighbor, some person living in the desert, on an island far from any major continent. Anyone who is listening to and hearing God's Word.

We are basically called to acknowledge and adore them. We know that if we love God and keep His ...read more
