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

It Is Your Responsibility

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 25, 2002

We can’t gussy up our attitudes or actions to make them seem righteous on the outside and think that we are pleasing God. It’s much better to be transparent and let God deal with you, than try to hide sin under a pretty blanket.

Not, I goofed, or I’m guilty – but an error in judgment was made. That goes right along with this one: "I assume responsibility for all of my actions, except the ...read more
