    Refining Fire...

    Christians are told to love and forgive one another, not try to tear each other down. Those are devices of Satan and church we cannot let him get a foothold in here.

    As idealistic & beautiful as this love is, you & I can experience this kind of love. In a world that is complicated - in a world of pain & sorrow - this kind of love can & should exist.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK ILL. A movie pictures 2 people in a canoe in the middle of a lake, with a beautiful moon shining above. The sky is filled with twinkling stars.

I am convinced the Lord desires every believer to be a disciple, but discipleship is not immediate following ...read more

    “Privilege” has become a bad word in today's society, yet Christians are the most privileged members of our society. And that's a good thing.

(2) Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (3) Not only that, but we rejoice ...read more

    Is There Not A Cause?

    based on 5 ratings
     | 38,128 views

    As David stood in bewilderment of the lack of courage among the men of Israel, he asked the question: Is there not a cause? This question remains relevant today. Surely you will agree there is a cause, and we must be willing to stand.

    Is There Not a Cause? I Samuel 17: 17-29 Often this chapter is preached in light of David’s miraculous defeat of the mighty giant, Goliath. That is a wonderful testimony to the presence and power of the God we serve; but today I want to look at the events that led up to David’s ...read more

    Jesus very specifically knew that this man had been lying there for 38 long years! He knew! I felt a massive wave of relief crash over me, when I read these words!

    Because Jesus lived on earth as a man, he typically experienced human limitations. His human side needed a balance between rest and ministry (work), and he was not afraid to say no.
