Be Steadfast

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

At a church fellowship supper, some Christian men were talking about their jobs. One of them spoke up and said, “I have a good job offer but it would require that I would have to move too far from the church.”

The man he was talking to said, “Take the job, you can always find another church somewhere else!” This man’s answer is typical of many people in our age. That is, forget about commitment, you can always find: • Another spouse • Another job • Another home • Another church This seems to be the ...read more

God's Gift To Us: A Christmas Message Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2021

No one lobbied Him as you would a senator. No one petitioned Him, as might your boss or your teacher. And no one solicited Him to do this as you might barter with someone in the marketplace. None of that was necessary for God, for the Father willingly offered up His one and only Son as a gift.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It’s at Christmastime that we give gifts, and we receive gifts. This is why retailers are so happy with Christmas in a way they’re not happy with the Fourth of July, for example or Easter. At the other holidays, we don’t give gifts like we do at Christmas. ...read more

What Did You Get For Christmas?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 23, 2021

The secularists today are doing everything they can do to wipe out the meaning of Christmas. They would like to make it so that the name of Christ can not be mentioned at ANYTIME at ANYPLACE.

The secularist will not be happy until they: • Remove every nativity scene from public properties • Remove God’s name from the pledge of allegiance • Remove God’s name from every coin • Remove every Christmas carol that talks about God from the schools • Remove all the Christian drama from ...read more

Armageddon Series

Where Is The Lord God Of Elijah? (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 5, 2022

As I read through this passage, it appears that Elijah is testing Elisha. Look at verse 2. He said to Elisha, “...Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el...”

But notice Elisha’s response in that same verse, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...”Then look at verse 4. Elijah seems to test Elisha again. He said, “...tarry here...for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho...” Again, same verse, Elisha responds, “...As ...read more

Staying The Course Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

We might presently feel like we’ve been fighting for our Promised Land a long time. Fighting will wear us out and lead to discouragement. Battle is not a pretty sight, and as we tire of spiritual confrontation, we might be tempted to give up.

Last week we saw how becoming tired of incessant battle can lead to becoming impatient and attempting to rush what God is wanting to do in His way and His timing. It can also lead a person to feeling defeated and abandoning the fight. David boldly declared in Psalm 119, “I will run the course of ...read more

Notice, this verse starts off with the word, “Beware.” Any time we see the word “Beware” we need to pay attention!

Illus: If you are an insurance salesman and you drive up to a home that has a large sign on the gate of the fence that says, “Beware of bad dog”, you can not blame the owner if this vicious dog tries to eat your leg off before you get to the car.
