    The Disintegration Of The Family As A Unit In Today’s Society : A Biblical Examination Series

    Contributed by Sandeep Samson on Mar 27, 2025
     | 43 views

    The family, ordained by God from Creation (Genesis 2:24), is under unprecedented attack in modern times. As society drifts from biblical foundations, we witness the tragic disintegration of what God designed as the primary institution for nurturing faith, morality, and human flourishing.

    I. Historical Context: God’s Design vs. Human Fragmentation Biblical Foundation a. God established the family before governments or churches existed. His design included: - Marriage as a sacred covenant (Malachi 2:14, Matthew 19:6) - Children as blessings to be raised in godly ...read more

    David’s spiritual slump can be very helpful to us:encouraging to those of us who have fallen, to see that a great man like David wasn’t immune to failure and also a warning to us of the danger that comes from drifting away from God.

    WHEN FAITH FALTERS 1 SAMUEL 27 INTRODUCTION: I remember the day my daughter, Marlo let me know what she thought of the ministry.

    Death Of A Nation

    When God says, "Enough!" how shall His people respond? The response of God's people to the sinful drift of our nation should lead us to grieve for our fellow man and plead with them to turn to Christ and His righteousness.

    “Righteous are you, O LORD, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive? You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart. ...read more

    Can A Genuine Believer Lose Their Salvation?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 27, 2023
     | 1,410 views

    This is the concept of remaining in faith. Abiding in Christ. We must hold fast to our faith, not drifting away, while also knowing that Christ holds us firm, and we do not need to fear the Father losing his hold on us. This sacred balance is a difficult one.

    Once an unbeliever has given their life to Christ, been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, reborn of Christ, and placed into the kingdom of God, can such a person fall away, and lose their salvation? This question is so incredibly important. It goes to the very core of the gospel: How does it ...read more

    Make no mistake about it, God is gracious and will give me as many do-overs as I need, but I want to limit them because I know every time I drift away from God, it hurts Him, and it hurts me, I suffer consequences too. So, I want to keep the course. I want to keep the faith.

    Introduction Last week, I told you that as a Christian, I love God and because I do love God I do not want to take advantage of do-overs in my life because I drifted away from God. Make no mistake about it, God is gracious and will give me as many do-overs as I need, but I want to limit them ...read more

    Much of my early life was lived by such reverberations. I don't want to bash it. It had it's appeals. No burdens, no responsibilities. Just drift about. Ironically enough I live in a similar way today at times. I'm in the arms of God. I have no idea what will happen today.

    Neglecting God’s gift of salvation is utter folly to the unsaved, but also to Christians.
