Contributed by Craig Benner on Feb 29, 2020

We preach all the time about those who have been in church and then go back to the world and lose their salvation. How about those who stay in church but have become lost?

Nehemiah: A Man Of Prayer

Contributed by Reuben Gaskin on Jun 7, 2018

Nehemiah expressed sorrow after learning of the bad situation back home. He went to the LORD GOD in prayer for solution to the problem. Who do you go to when faced with a bad situation?

He was fortunate to find himself in the Palace. GOD is able to bless us no matter the circumstances. We read in Verse 2, that when a delegation ...read more

Exodus 19 - Fear God But Draw Near With Holy Boldness! How Does That Work? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009

What I love is that we are not told to stand back from God. We are not told not to go too close. Unlike the people of Israel, we are told to be like Moses and to draw near to God.

Exodus 19 - Holy Boldness! I can’t say I have ever felt afraid of God, but I have felt the awe of His presence, and I have been overcome by a sense of His majesty. I remember standing out on a mound of earth out on a property and looking up at the stars. Away from the city, the stars seem so much ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (14 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Many in America today, seem to be confused as to why, when we incarcerate law breakers, and send them through a rehabilitation program, they go back to doing the same crimes again, after they are released.

Well, the problem is that we are trying to fix the wrong thing. Illus: If you had trouble with the carburetor on your car, and you took it to be fixed, and the mechanic worked on the transmission, you would find, when you drove the car from the garage, that you still had the same trouble as ...read more
