From The Devil's Depths To Divine Deliverance Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 20, 2007

Job’s misery was a rough path to a grand finale. Job was God’s man for the mission of putting Satan in his place. Wealth, health, family and friends are no foundation on which to stand, only faith.

Today, as promised, we will complete the book of Job. Last week we left him in the midst of his misery with three friends who came to "comfort" him. Remember, when we met Job, he was wealthy and seemed healthy, he walked with God blamelessly, and he deeply cared about his 10 children and ...read more

Being Stripped Down To The Eternal

Contributed by Howard Strickland on May 6, 2007

Commandment #2 Thou Shalt Cut The Apron Strings

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 10, 2007

For a marriage to become successful “both” have to become emotionally detached from their family. (This doesn’t mean anyone is cut off, but as a couple your number 1 attention has to be your spouse!)

The Connie Waltman Funeral

Contributed by Charles Clary on Mar 31, 2014

This is my eulogy for a lady named Connie who was severely crippled with rheumatoid arthritis. Her husband, Rex, in his care for her, was a great inspiration to our church family. Connie was a model of patient endurance.

It was not Roe vs. Wade. It was Runnelstown vs. Wade. It was a football game to be played on Runnelstown's (Miss.) field. A young gentleman named Rex, a student at the University of Southern Mississippi at Hattiesburg, came to see his Wade Hornets play. He did not know that across the field ...read more
