Standing For God’s Truth

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jan 16, 2023

We live in world of compromise where people are letting go of standards, values, and morals to have recognition, position, titles, clout, and prestige. Society has pushed for the lowering of standards with the so-called premise of improving equality, acceptance, and accessibility.

Receiving God’s Grace

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn 8:36 NASB); but how many Christians are actually living as though they’re free? Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more

Pleasing God

Contributed by Dylan Potter on Jul 18, 2003

The duty and privilege of all believers is to please God.
