Contributed by Richard Lankford on Jul 25, 2022

Many of the things we hear and are exposed to on a regular basis shape the way we think throughout life. And for a majority of the time, our thoughts ultimately determine the actions that we take and the conclusions that we reach..

One of the things that I have discovered... not only about my own life... but about the lives of all of us as Children of God... is that whenever we face days of conflict or days of adversity, our frame of mind (our mental attitude) (our thoughts) usually determine how we come out of these ...read more

How To Improve Your Memory - Psalm 6:2,6 Pt.12 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 11, 2025

Memory is the key to obedience. All memory is selective and the tiny fragment you remember reveals character. Being moved by, treasuring up and rehearsing low things instead of high things is evil (Israel’s sin).

The Power of Holy Memory: Transforming Faith Through Reflection Summary: Your physical eyes also play a role in seeing God by seeing His glory reflected in the goodness of what He made (“check your mirrors”).

The Pains Of A Relevant Pastor

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Feb 5, 2003

I thought it would be profitable if we would use this Preaching moment to highlite THE PAINS OF A RELEVANT PASTOR. For I am foolish enough to believe that A RELEVANT PASTOR WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN THAT IS PAIRED WITH THE TASK OF TENDING THE FLOCK

One who is Hurled, Thrown into the Path of a People who are Bent on Self-Destruction Must Be Relevant. He must be Germane to a Grieving Generation. His Applications must be Appropriate for the Aches of His Age. His Preaching must be Pertinent to the Problems of His Parish. His Sermons must be ...read more
