    Vanishing Values

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
     | 2,938 views

    William Bennett, author of “Vanishing Values,” dealt with how the American values our forefathers held dear are rapidly vanishing in our age.

    It has proven to be true that history repeats itself. When God established Israel as a nation He gave them very strict laws, but by the time we reach the book of Judges we find those values, that God had tried to instill in that nation, HAD VANISHED. Look at Judges 17:6. We read, “In those days ...read more

    The First Shall Be Last, And The Last Shall Be First

    Jesus says that it isn’t the religious folk who are first in the kingdom of heaven. It is those who are most open to turning their lives around who are first in line, those who take action when Jesus says, “follow me”.

    It’s painful to have someone you trust tell you that they are going to do something for you---and they don’t. Many of us can tell stories about people who have let us down by making promises and then not following up on them. For example, there is a story of a young widow whose husband ...read more

    Death Comes First

    Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 9, 2016
     | 6,457 views

    We think that Life comes first, and death follows. But, think of death happening first, then Life follows. It happens when we first believe. We were DEAD in sin, until God brings us the word of LIFE. The butterfly seems to DIE, then comes back to LIFE!

    Death comes first. "Unless a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone. But, if it dies, it brings forth much fruit." (John 12:24) Let's begin with a very basic Universal Principle: “First comes Death,.. then comes Life!” I know, it sounds backwards. We ...read more
