     | 1,140 views

    When you are knocked off your feet, blind with tears or pain or even a light like the one Paul saw, the first thing to do is seek God.

    This has been a bad week. It started with one of the worst tragedies that has ever hit our country. Only wars, terrorist attacks and natural disasters have caused more anguish, more grief and suffering and loss, and more questions about providence and the presence - or absence - of God. The ...read more

    Heaven is for those who love God, not merely His blessings. Salvation transforms our desires so we treasure His presence and holiness eternally.

    INTRODUCTION Many people say they want heaven. They want peace. They want joy. They want freedom from sickness and sorrow. They want to see loved ones again. They want the pain of life to finally stop. And I believe them. Nobody wants grief. Nobody wants loss. Nobody wants broken relationships ...read more

    Mother's Day: Sometimes we feel that mothers are perfect. This message reveals a near-perfect mother. From Naomi, we see a mother’s strength, her love for her children, and we learn some things about a mother’s personality.

    As you already know, today is Mother’s Day. I would like to begin our message with a short story: A small boy invaded the lingerie section of a large department store and shyly presented his problem to a woman clerk. “I want to by a slip as a present for my mom,” he said, “but, I don’t know what ...read more

    Sin will keep us from reward and that is looked at. A problem considered – What happens about unconfessed sin at the Judgement Seat of Christ? I suppose in conclusion, we should have our lives tidied up, work for Christ in love, not a desire for reward. The Lord bless and keep us all!

    THE CHRISTIAN - THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST – PART 3 OF 3 This is the vital passage regarding the Judgement Seat of Christ:- {{1 Corinthians 3:10-15 “According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it, but let each ...read more

    Rizpah, though insignificant in status, proved to be the focus of two defining events in the life of God’s people. It is from her story I hope we can learn some valuable lessons!

As a concubine, she had very little status nor influential power. Concubines were considered as “secondary wives,” they were inferior to the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,627 views

    The cross today is a vivid symbol of a great past victory that involved horrible pain and crucifixion. When we see our shiny crosses that symbolize this past event, we must also remind ourselves that it was really an “Old Rugged Cross”, as the song says,

    He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matthew 10:38-39) What happened at the college called Virginia Tech in the eastern United States, was simply terrible.
