    Contributed by Perry Greene on Aug 12, 2021
     | 2,789 views

    Following Jesus is more than getting him on our side to cheer for our "team." It is making sure our "team" is on his side. That takes preparation.

    Preparations: I read that in April, 1988 the evening news reported on a photographer who was also a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with several other skydivers and filmed the group as they individually dove out of the plane and opened their parachutes.

    The world is in a very critical time right now. How are we to deal with the proliferation of perversion and pornography? Can you hear the voice of God through all of it? Are you living in divine revelation from God and the Anointing of the Holy Spirit?

    Prologue Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jan 9, 2023
     | 1,525 views

    John's introduction to his Gospel beautifully and artfully lays the foundation for the rest of his book as he provides insight into the nature, work and witness of the Word - Jesus Christ!

    What is a prologue? If we were to take that apart, it divides neatly into two words pro- meaning before logos - meaning word or saying So, in a very real sense, a prologue is a word that happens beforehand - a fore-word Composers, Filmmakers, and Authors alike have utilized preludes, ...read more

    If John the Baptist was on social media, what would he post? What would he share about himself? He might truly resonate with the song by Casting Crowns - "Nobody, Somebody, Everybody."

    I’m not very good at social media, but you probably already know that if you’re on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. I don’t post very often - except to give away bread. When I do, I don’t take very good pictures - in fact I sometimes re-do old pictures - especially of bread. I suppose in some ...read more

    If you want to save yourself and lead others to safety, commit yourself totally to the Lord, and don’t compromise on that commitment. But if you have, cry out to the Lord, who can still save you and use you for His glory.

     | 2,316 views

    There have been numerous teaching surges of the "Rapture" and what happens at the return of Jesus over the last 50+ years that have brought confusion and fear.

    Most often, the teaching re-appears during times of world crisis, social upheaval, pandemics, war, rumors of war, etc., etc., to help bring focus on the soon coming return of Jesus who will stop it all and set up His Kingdom on Earth for 1,000 years. The Second Coming of Jesus is the blessed ...read more

    Many four-letter words are used tritely as vulgar and profane slang or to curse someone.

    The word "love" is also a four-letter word used so commonly that its true meaning and significance has been lost. People say they 'love' their house, car, clothes, church, school, pets, food, family, friends, hairdo, music, makeup, movies, etc., and they 'love' God. The ...read more

    If you’ve lost all hope, trust Jesus with your life, and don’t be surprised by His delays, His devotion, and His deliverance when it finally does come. It will be far greater than anything you’ve ever asked for: a resurrection instead of a healing.

    John Ortberg, pastor of the Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California, talks about a friend of his, who used to work as a denominational official in Minnesota. One of his jobs was to travel to little rural communities where they didn't have churches to do funerals. He would go out with a funeral ...read more
