    A Blood Donor Saved My Life Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 11, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,364 views

    What does the blood of Christ do for us, and why is it such a powerful tool for God to use for fixing our broken lives?

    The American Red Cross in Oklahoma had this interesting poster sent to churches: "I gave my blood. Christ gave his. I gave a pint. He gave all. The needle is small, sharp. The nails were large, dull. The table - soft, restful. The cross - rough, painful. The nurses - kind, gentle. The soldiers ...read more

    We take 22 aspects of Liberal Theology and look at why each is wrong. Some Liberals may hold to only one of these; others, many of them, but their adherence system will incorporate most of them. It is difficult to generalise because liberal thinking expands and changes.

    This small series continues with the 4th address in Liberal Theology LIBERAL THEOLOGY IN THE CHURCHES – ADDRESS NUMBER 4 OPENING UP SOME ELEMENTS OF LIBERAL THEOLOGY - MY UNDERSTANDING OF SOME COMPONENTS OF LIBERAL THEOLOGY: EXPLANATION In 2015 I had the request to address a group in ...read more

    Marks Of A True Disciple

    Contributed by Scott Sparks on Mar 2, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 17,556 views

    Jesus gave us the example of true discipleship - to forsake all, to follow, & to Love one another. Our world tends to work to dilute the real message. However, if we can take hold of the basic truths, we can remain faithful to Jesus’ instructions.

    Marks of A True Disciple Luke 14:26, 33 (KJV) “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple…So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be ...read more

    Sure you would go to the Prodigal’s party. Sure after he slept around, left his wife, spent all the money, you would accept him back completely. Or would you really?

    The Secret Of Spiritual Power

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Apr 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 620 views

    Christians today are encouraged to seek more power, more anointing, and more gifts. Indeed, as the Lord calls us back to the Cross to become disciples of Jesus, He intends to first humble us before empowering us.

    The basic need of a disciple of Jesus Christ is not seeking for more power from God, but more brokenness. Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in ...read more

    This is a very simple thought that the Lord has been plowing into my heart the last several days. It seems like every circumstance for the past week or so has pointed back to this principle: Love People, Like Things, Live for God.

    Going With The Flow, Embracing Change Series

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Feb 9, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 19,468 views

    What God is about to do is so great, and so important and so impressive that what He has done in the past pales in comparison. If you persist in holding too tightly to the greatness of what He did in the past, you will miss the greatness of what He is goi

    Going with the flow, embracing change Isaiah 43:16-21 God’s changelessness is a powerful and important doctrine in our faith. God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (Numbers 23:19 ...read more

     | 4,306 views

    No Christmas stocking was large enough to hold all that he wanted to give us. No Christmas stocking could display the Christmas message he wanted us to see. Only his hand drawn paper bags could properly express his love for us.

     | 2,799 views

    Every moment of every day, we have an opportunity to find the way back by moving forward. Renew your minds. Try this: "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable."

    Here is the connection we need to make: "All wrongdoing is sin" (1 John 5:17) and "sin is lawlessness" (1 John 3:4). Lawlessness and sin are a couple, and they will not divorce one from the other. There are no irreconcilable differences. Do not allow individuals in these ...read more

    It is an insult that is still used today on playgrounds across the globe. Little boys testing their strength and dexterity against one another revert back to this proverbial slap in the face by throwing down the gauntlet of this time proven stab. However

    To keep faithful to our faithful God we set aside time to remember. We must regularly turn our attention back to God, up to God, forward to God to keep our side of the covenant agreement.

    DO NOT FORGET God of our fathers, known of old – Lord of our far flung battle line Beneath whose awful hand we hold dominion over palm and pine Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget - lest we forget! About 100 years ago, the British poet Rudyard ...read more

    When we face a theological crisis because it seems like God has turned against us, we need to back up & look at the Cross and know that it guarantees the love of God & that God's will is to bless & save us. Keep believing!
