    Concerning Widows Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 31, 2019
     | 3,058 views

    The uniform doctrine of the New Testament is that marriage is a contract for life, between one man and one woman, unbreakable by the will of the parties or by any human authority; but the death of either party leaves the survivor free to marry another.

    Holiness of the believer is a Biblical topic that seems to have been almost totally obscured by the false teaching of "cheap grace." Are Christians actually supposed to be "holier than thou"?

    “Follow Me” The second paragraph of Untied States Declaration of Independence begins with these words; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the ...read more

    An insightful look at the wonders of the blood running through our veins which will help to bring greater insight - and understanding - of why Jesus had to shed His blood to forgive sin.

    When my wife’s kidneys failed, she had to go on dialysis in order to live. Dialysis cleanses the blood of impurities. If the blood isn’t cleansed daily, a person would quickly die. There have been times when my wife had to get a blood transfusion because her blood platelets or hemoglobin were too ...read more

    The key to healthy prayer is more than a technique; it is a healthy attitude. Let's look at six attitudes that lead to a satisfying and effective prayer life.

    Prayer Attitudes J. C. Ryle once wrote, "If I know anything of a Christian's heart, you are often sick of your own prayers." You go to pray but you can't think of what to say. Or you tell God he's awesome, and a second later you recall that the Honda needs an oil change. You promise God that ...read more
