Essence Of God 2 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Jun 8, 2005

Love always pays a price. Love always costs something. Love is expensive. When you love, its benefits enhances another’s account. My love is for you, not for me. Love gives, it doesn’t grab.

In any study of the Word of God, we must study the Word of God. That’s deep theology. Right? Yes, it is deep theology. Sad to say, much, even most Bible study today is not the study of the Bible. It is instead, the study of books written about the Bible, and those can be interesting, ...read more

Essence Of God #3 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Jun 23, 2005

We don’t come to an understanding of who God is to become a Christian. We become a Christian because we have accepted, by faith, God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ – even though we do not understand who God is.

To have even a surface understand of God’s redemption, we must understand the person of God. The ONLY place we can access the information needed to gain such an understanding is in the Word of God. Isaiah 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. 9 ...read more

Doors: Open Or Closed

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 24, 2017

The majority of the body of Christ believes that God opens doors (a "yes" answer to prayer) and closes doors (a "no" answer to prayer) in their lives. Does scripture support such a belief?

The message today is one that I believe is going to challenge traditional thinking in the Body of Christ. How many of you have heard the following statements and, perhaps, even said them? ? When God opens a door no one can close it. ? When God closes a door no one can open it. ? When one door ...read more

Dressed And Ready

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 22, 2024

Paul teaches us to "dress for battle" against the "wiles of the devil." How do we do that? Why is that so important?
