Envious Christians Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

This sin of envy is capable of any evil, even to the point of killing the Son of God to eliminate Him from the competition. We live in a dangerous world because of the potential of this sin. Paul lists it with the worst sins of depravity

Jews And Christians Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

The Savior of all men was a Jew, and this alone exalts the name of Jew to the highest degree. No other race can boast of a greater honor. In the flesh Jesus was a Jew, but in contrast Paul says that in the Spirit Jesus was God, who is over all blessed forever.

The Christian Mind Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Christians In Conflict Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Christian Excellence Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

What we see in this letter of Titus is that Paul was committed to excellence. The goal of God is not just to get His Son a bride, but to get Him a bride who is without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing. In other words, the goal of God is always perfection.

Christian Education Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Severe suffering will cause most Christians to go through some sort of conflict like this, and that is why Christians need to be taught to have sound endurance. This is the ability to not give up, but to hang in there and do the will of God even when it does not seem to pay off.

The Law And The Christian Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Snoring Christians

Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 1, 2020

Why this spiritual lethargy and carelessness? Where are the tears over the perishing? Where is the groaning? Where is the fasting and hard prayer for our loved ones who are lost, people we work with and for people who have never heard the Gospel??

Snoring Christians Judges 16:14 So while he slept, Delilah took the seven locks of his hair and wove them into the web]. And she fastened it with the pin and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin of the loom and the ...read more

Christian Benefits

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 3, 2022

We all have had someone come to us and say, "I have some good news and some bad news to tell you."

I do not know about you, but I always cringe when someone says that, because I know the bad news has to be very bad when it has to be softened with some good news first.

Christian Confession Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Christians have needlessly borne mountains of guilt when they might have had it dissolved and cleansed through the blood of Christ. Continuous and consistent confession of sin is a must for a Christian.

The one thing all people have in common is guilt. Ever since Adam and Eve hid from God, because they were afraid, out of a sense of guilt, man has had to bear the burden, and suffer the effects of guilt, and these effects are enormous. Modern psychiatry is discovering that guilt is enemy number ...read more
