Road Signs Of Danger

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 7, 2021

Most of my preaching has to deal with what the scriptures tell us to do to DRAW NIGH TO GOD. But sometime it is important that God’s preachers preach on the warning of drifting from God. Leaving the Lord is not usually a thing one does overnight. It is a slow process.

I have called this sermon “ROAD SIGNS OF DANGER”, because the Christian life is similar to traveling down a road. Illus: Have you ever traveled down a road and you came to a road sign that indicated that a curve was ahead? Once you got to the curve, it was so sharp that you could almost see your ...read more

Providence In American History Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

We celebrate the 4th of July for the same reason the Jews celebrate Purim. It is a day to look back and see the providence of God in our history.

Great leaders are often providentially preserved from what ought to have been certain death. This happens before they rise to a level where they are a blessing to many people. In the history of the Jews, Mordecai is one of these leaders. He came within minutes of being hung on a gallows, and ...read more

Don't Put The Fire Out

Contributed by Alan Stokes on Mar 2, 2001

It is important for us to have a Christian life that is on fire for God and we must make sure we do not put out our own fire or the fire of Christian ministries outside our own tradition or the fire of the little ones.

Once upon a time I went camping. A few of us stayed up late and talked around the campfire. From time to time one of us would add some wood to the fire so the “fire wouldn’t go out” and the camp site would remain warm, secure, and lighted. If you haven’t noticed the camp fires of the Lord’s ...read more

Who Is Your Brother?

Contributed by David Thrower on Feb 5, 2005

Our Christian Brothers are often found in some unusual places. It should caution us about judging too quickly!

We actually fight more among ourselves as ...read more
