God Demands Purity

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 17, 2012

The Little Man With A Big Need

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 22, 2022

This is a popular text with preachers, and I have heard several intriguing titles for it besides the one I am using today.

Do You Know The God Of The Bible (God Is Omnipresent) 2 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 24, 2024

A lot of times if you are like me, you may assume things that we should not assume until we get all the facts.

That is, we do not know all the facts about a certain situation and so we assume something that later proves to be an inaccurate assumption. Let me illustrate… Illus: This was an actual news story from a San Diego newspaper! (The actual AP headline was WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER) The story goes ...read more

Can You Justify That? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 10, 2016

Justification sounds like a $20 word that nobody would use outside of Church. But surprisingly the words justify and justification are interwoven into our culture and are used in ways that tell us a lot about what God did when He justified us.

I’m going to show you a list of some common English sayings on the screen. Tell me you recognize them. A thorn in the side Eat, drink, and be merry Handwriting on the wall. The blind leading the blind. Like a lamb to the slaughter Do not throw your pearls before swine Can a leopard ...read more

Sump'n Other Than Slump'n

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 8, 2003

Churches, like individuals, have "body language". If we seem to be slumping, let’s look at our victories; and let’s look at the body language for mission: bending the knees, touching power, expecting the Presence.

Even if you cannot hear what someone is saying with his lips, you can often read his body language. The words may not be clear, but the body language may be eloquent. What is body language? Body language is posture, gesturing, facial expressions, the way you present yourself to others. And that ...read more
