The Cost Of Following God

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Nov 19, 2019

The cost of following God, Jesus Christ, could cost everything. Anyone can come to the altar and say a prayer. Anyone can cry out to Jesus and call upon Him. But will anyone be willing to forsake everything they have for Christ?

“what Is That To You? Follow Me”

Contributed by Silas Eke on Feb 26, 2015

We should accept it as axiomatic that God’s dealings with our fellow-disciples are no concern of ours. Our business is to watch our motives carefully, to keep our eyes on the Lord whom we follow, and not to look over our shoulders at others.

Tested saints in all ages have been prone to complain like Israel: “the way of the Lord is not equal” (Ezekiel 18:29). Some of God’s dealings seem to contradict our innate sense of fairness; and instead of faithfully discharging our responsibilities, we are tempted to look over ...read more

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 24, 2002

Those who fight and gain the victory with Christ, the Lamb, are described as "the called, the chosen and faithful". This is a study of the significance of these descriptive titles given to the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In this passage, we have three titles given as a description of those who, with Christ Jesus, battle with and gain the victory over the Harlot (the Apostate Church; that is, the Roman Catholic Church) and her political allies. In a broader context, these three titles are an accurate description ...read more

Finding The Lord’s Will

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

Some would have us believe that one of the hardest things in this life to find, is the will of God for our lives.
