    So This Is Sin Too?

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 28, 2022
     | 1,097 views

    It says that “whatever is not from faith is sin.” So even that is sin??? So if we are doing something just to go along, even though we are convinced it is wrong, we are sinning? That is what it says.

    Alba 6-26-2022 SO THIS IS SIN TOO? Romans 14:22-23 A man went to see a psychiatrist and told him, "I’ve been doing some bad things, Doc, and my conscience is troubling me." The psychiatrist thought about that and then said: "And you want something that will strengthen your will ...read more

    Can Christians willingly or unwillingly host demons inside our bodies? What do you think?

    From the beginning of our creation, humans have manifested lustful, immoral, shiftless, or self-gratifying attributes. The first occurrence of “the devil made me do it” used as an excuse was in the Garden of Eden. "Eve says, "I was deceived by the serpent, and I ate." Does her ...read more

    "any Samaritans Among Us?"

    Contributed by Darrell Campbell on Aug 24, 2022

    You can love people and not be a Christian, but can you be a Christian and not exercise love?

    An expert in Jewish Law asked Jesus a question about eternal life. We have no indication that the question wasn't sincere. Eternal Life was more than a duration, but the quality, even the rewards of it. The lawyer was correct in his answer to Jesus, at least textbook, but the man got it all ...read more

    More nonsense excuses from Moses, just like us.

    Let’s continue to worship our God by hearing His Word from Exodus 4 and learn more about our God and how we are like Moses. I made a statement last week that Moses seemed to be satisfied with God’s answers in Exodus 3:11-14; I should have known better; We are just like Moses, we would tell God ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,837 views

    Too many believers are waiting for the perfect scenario before they will serve the Lord. It’s an excuse that is often used for idleness and spiritual inactivity - the excuse that it’s not an ideal time or situation in which to serve.

    There is no ideal place to serve God except the place where He has set you down. - Eric Alexander(1) The Lord wants us to bloom where we’re planted, and to serve Him faithfully right where we are. He doesn’t want us to sit around waiting for the “perfect situation” before we serve Him. If we ...read more

    The Easiest Way To Miss Out On Heaven

    Contributed by Larry Moyer on Aug 5, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,193 views

    This message addresses common reasons unbelievers give of why they will not trust Christ. It also explores the difference between a "good reason" and an "excuse," and we find that most of these "good reasons" non-believers give are just "excuses."

    I am well aware that one of the problems people have with speakers like me is that they often wonder if they are actually real human beings. I once read of a little girl who was taken to church for the first time ever. The child was struck by the solemness of the occasion. And after several moments ...read more

    people who are looking for reasons will walk by faith, people who are looking for an excuse will walk away

    Intro: I have really enjoyed reading the many sermons that are responses to the Da Vinci Code novel. As one elder said years ago in a service, some people spend their lives looking for a reason, some people spend their lives looking for an excuse. After reading the many sermons it is quite clear ...read more
