  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (11 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,833 views

    Some of the physical problems we hear much about people having are heart problems. Anyone can be a victim of heart disease or attack.

    Illus: A man in Columbia, South Carolina went to a doctor because he was tired most of the time. The doctor examined him and found out he was only getting 20% use of his heart. They did open heart surgery on him, opened up some valves and today he feels like a new man. There are many people in our ...read more

    John gives us seven tests to take to see if we KNOW the Lord. Today we come to the FIFTH test.

    So far we have taken FOUR tests: I. The Attitude Test II. The Action Test III. The Affection Test IV. The Actuality Test Today we want to look at this FIFTH test. V. THE ADULTERY TEST WHAT KIND OF TEST IS THIS? This is a test that deals with our relationship with the world. That ...read more

    These are readings through the book of Lamentations. A look at chapter three.

    Letters Of Lament – Thoughts From Chapter Three INTRODUCTION: There are times when we all lament – or need to lament. There are times when we have walked down the wrong path – and have found at the end of it – a dead end. At the end of the road we cry out, “What have I done? How could I have been ...read more

  • Second Sunday Of Lent, Year A- Transfiguration Thoughts

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 25, 2023
     | 1,267 views

    There is no "on the mountain" and "off the mountain" which can be explained by the virtue of equanimity.

    Peter was talking, but yielded to the voice from heaven and listened. “Listen to him" we hear from God the Father. Matthew 17:5 A woman named Barb tells about an incident that happened in her granddaughter’s kindergarten class. A boy in the class just wasn’t listening to his teacher. The ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (5 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,189 views

    In a previous sermon we dealt with what John had to say about how we can KNOW that WE KNOW THE LORD.

    We discovered that anyone can say that they know the Lord...anyone! All one has to say is, “I know the Lord.” John used the word, “saith,” numerous times. He referred to it in: • 1 John 2:4. He said, “HE THAT SAITH, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not ...read more

  • God Is Unchanging In Our Ever-Changing World

     | 17,906 views

    Since God is unchanging, our faith never changes, our ethical and moral obligations never change, our personal accountability never changes, and our ultimate hope never changes.

    "God is Unchanging in Our Ever-changing World" A sermon from the pulpit of Bayview Baptist Church Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8 Our world is more subject to change today than it has ever been in Human history. More information has been produced in the last 30 years than in the previous 500 ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (10 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,309 views

    In this passage of scripture, John deals with something we want to look at very closely and consider in this message.

    He deals with the topic of how we are supposed to love one another. Of course much of the Bible deals with this subject, yet it seems to be something we Christians know very little about and those who are not Christians know even less. As we look at our text we want to learn from what it says to ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From First John (1 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,827 views

    1 John is called one of the “General Epistles,” because it was not sent to a specific church. Rather, it was sent to churches in general.

    The three books of John are referred to as “letters, however, the first was not written in the form of a letter. For example, it has no salutation nor conclusion. In fact, it has all the characteristics of a sermon in which a pastor is revealing his love for God’s people. To have a good ...read more

  • Nonviolence In Early Christian Thought Through The Fourth Century

    Contributed by Daniel Keeran on Apr 3, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,408 views

    If nonviolence is indeed the teaching of Jesus in the New Testament, we would expect to find it in the earliest writings of Christians including and after the apostles and prophets of the Lord. What do we find?

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (9 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,981 views

    Have you ever listened to someone on the radio and wondered what that person looked like.

    If you have, you were probably, like most people, surprised when you actually saw that person. Why? Because that person probably did not look at all like you had thought from the way he/she sounded. I want to ask you another question. Have you ever read your Bible and tried to imagine what the ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (15 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,326 views

    One of the difficulties the Lord Jesus had in dealing with mankind was getting people to accept Him for Who He was.

    He could have solved that problem by making us all robots. All He would have to do then is push a button and make us believe on Him as our Savior. Illus: That would be a bit like a young man pulling a gun on a beautiful young lady, pointing it in her face, and saying, “Tell me that you love ...read more

  • Does God Alone Choose Who Gets To Heaven? - Thoughts On Predestination In A Quantum Universe

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 31, 2020
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,892 views

    Christians get into endless debates about free will, predestination, losing your salvation vs once-saved-always-saved, getting lost in the complexity of it all.

    Quite often, discussions about theological issues boil down to one side pulling out their list of Scriptures proving their doctrine and the other side pulling out their list of Scriptures to prove their contrary doctrine, and most often, it is whoever has the most extensive list that wins. ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (4 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,315 views

    In 1 John, chapter one, John had the audacity to tell some of those who claimed to be saved that they were liars.

    Evidently John never took a course in “HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE”. If he had taken it, he would have had a hard time passing the course. We know this because we see he called those people liars five times. He used “liar(s)” in: • 1 John 1:10. • 1 John 2:4. • 1 John 2:22. • 1 John ...read more
