This might make you think less of me, but sometimes I google my name. I know, I’m so vain. There is a little bit of truth in that, but it’s also to keep an eye on who’s preaching the messages that I post online and also to track where my books are being mentioned. And yes, I am a little vain; the ...read more

14. Romans Chapter 4 Verses 1-3 - Messages In Romans – The Faith Of Abraham Reckoned As Righteousness - Message 14 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 6, 2024

You can not work for salvation. Righteousness is placed on your account when you are saved. We look at Abraham’s faith for his faith was reckoned as righteousness. How many ways to God are there? Without faith no one can please God. It is all of faith; nothing of works. Applications made.

When You Feel Abandoned

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Sep 26, 2024

Emotional abandonment is a powerful feeling. It makes us feel like we are unwanted, forgotten, left out, and ignored. We often feel this way when we feel that we are cut off from God or unnecessary to God. What does God call me to do when I feel distant and and abandoned by Him?

God Uses The Ordinary To Do The Extraordinary

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 24, 2025

It is amazing how some things never change. For example, when Christ was here on earth they had two kinds of men, as we have today. • They had the ordinary man • They had the extraordinary man

It never ceases to amaze me the people that God chooses to do His work. Such as… (1) David. In 1 Samuel 16:1-12 we read how… • Saul had been rejected as king and God sent Samuel to anoint a new king. Vs. 1-3 • Samuel went. Vs. 4-5 • Jesse and his sons were summoned to the sacrifice vs ...read more
