Spiritual Warfare

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

We must band together as an army to fight the evil of Satan. Satan is roaming free in part because the church is so fractured that it cannot come together for this cause.

The Life Of A Wicked King (King Manasseh)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

There are many wicked characters mentioned in the Bible. King Manasseh has to rank as one of the most wicked men who ever lived on this earth.

He is certainly considered to be the most wicked king of Judah. His grandfather, Ahaz, was a wicked king, but his father, King Hezekiah is considered to be the most godly king of Judah. It's hard to imagine that someone as righteous as Hezekiah could have a son as evil as Manasseh. This ...read more

What If This Is As Good As It Gets?

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Nov 11, 2007

We have to ask ourselves, as believers, if what we are experiencing in Christianity is really all that Jesus promised us. There has to be more, we have been promised more, but it will never happen if sin is rampant in the church.

Is there more to Christianity? Does God have more in store for us than church on Sunday morning and getting to heaven? I believe that the fulfilled life that Jesus spoke about is more than what we’re experiencing most weeks in the local church. People are often fearful, downtrodden and spending ...read more
