In this crazy world, where it's rush, rush, rush, the idea of a day set apart for rest and reflection seems almost impossible. But, is it?

What a crazy world we live in today. Do you ever feel like the Rabbit in “Alice in Wonderland”? You know the one, he’s always rushing this way and that looking at his watch and muttering, “I’m late, I’m late”. It seems that every hour of every day is filled to the limit with things that need ...read more

Just What Law Is So Precious And Sweet?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 23, 2024

Christ's last commandment is the one that the psalm is talking about, perfect, tasting sweet, priceless. That command is simply this. “Love one another as I have loved you.”

Friday of the Sixteenth Week in Course What is this Law that is perfect, that refreshes the soul and gives wisdom to the simple-minded? It rejoices the heart, is true and just, and more precious than gold. It tastes sweeter than syrup, or even honey straight from the comb (and I know how tasty ...read more

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 27, 2024

This message looks at the 6th commandment, Do not Murder. It seems like an easy one to keep, but what happens when we broaden it out?

¿debe El Cristiano Guardar La Ley? (Segunda Parte) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 23, 2024

¿Por qué los cristianos parecen guardar los Diez Mandamientos excepto el sábado? Este mensaje aborda la diferencia entre la forma en que el Nuevo Testamento trata las leyes morales y ceremoniales del Antiguo Testamento.

Estamos respondiendo a la pregunta: ¿Debe un cristiano guardar la ley? La respuesta bíblica es sí y no. Debemos guardar los mandamientos morales que tienen su raíz en la naturaleza inmutable de Dios. Dios es santo. Dios es un ser moral que hace que las personas sean moralmente ...read more

lies, distortion, exaggeration. They are all they same. This message looks at why we lie and the damage those lies can cause to others and to us.

I think that if we were honest today, we’d all agree that there is a feeling of violation that happens when we feel that we have been deceived. Most relationships can take almost anything except deceit. It was Friedrich Nietzsche who said, “I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset ...read more

A Different Time, A Different Place

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 25, 2025

Is the Sabbath Mandated for Christians? How should we approach the concept of the Sabbath?

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner ...read more

What Does It Mean To Love God? (Exodus 19:16-20:20) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 29, 2022

And what does God expect from his people? The ten commandments, within their frame of God's apocalyptic appearance at Mount Sinai.

Today, we are going to work through "kind of" a big section in Exodus. It's maybe a mistake, to do it this way. We are going to fly high over some of God's most basic, well-known commands, and they deserve to be explained better than I'm going to. But the passage as a ...read more

Tenth Commandment 12 Of 12

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Eighth Commandment (10 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

This morning we dealt with the commandment, "Thou shalt not Steal." We found out that we can steal in many ways. We found, for example, that we can steal:

1. Through gossip: We can say many things about people that can rob them of their good reputation. 2. Through being a bad employee. Not doing the job that we are being paid to do, or even perhaps dipping our hands in the till. 3. Through being a bad employer. An employer can easily steal from his ...read more

Fourth Commandment (4 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

In Romans 12:2 we read, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It seems that one of the easiest things in this world to do is follow the crowd and let others do our thinking for us. The lost world is convinced we are so dumb we can not think for ourselves. For example, we cannot even listen to the president of the United States address this nation on ...read more
