Walking Towards Spiritual Fitness

Contributed by Steve Taylor on Jun 9, 2018

Spiritual growth requires effort and diligence, and it takes time. It’s not a one shot deal. There’ll be constant battles. But just like physical fitness, you’ve gotta keep getting back out there, and start back working out, your body, mind and soul.

Do you ever feel like you’re slipping with your faith? You just can’t seem to keep steady with doing what you know it takes to be a good Christian. You just can’t be that perfect projection of what’s perceived to be the “perfect Christian”. Well believe me, true spiritual growth requires effort ...read more

The Right To Question God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

The right to question God is a right that God Himself has given to His children. He inspired men of God to write about their own questioning of God’s ways of dealing with the evils of life and all of its suffering and injustice. None is more bold than the prophet Habakkuk. He begins his book ...read more

Has our prosperity made us so oblivious and so apathetic that we are no longer willing to leave our pleasures long enough to protect and heal the nation that so many others have sacrificed to give us? Even if America has reached that point, we Christians must rise above the apathy around us.

[NOTE: The beginning of this sermon is referring to flooding that occurred where I live in western North Carolina.} Wow! What a week, amen?

Take Your Burdens To The Lord…leave Them There!!!

The radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was loved by some and hated by others. However, for years when he was alive he was the most listen to person on talk radio.

His success in talk radio came about because many feel that he expressed on national radio what many Americans think and cannot express. That is, he gave his listeners a voice to public express what they believed. One reason many people like to read the Psalms in the Old Testament is ...read more
