Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

The story is told of a young farmer who was drafted into the Confederate army to serve during the Civil War.

Are You Fit To Be Tied Part Vi

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022

In the last five sermons, we have been preaching about marriage, and today we want to focus on a very important subject that God is very concerned about.

We want to preach about children in our marriage. Children can be a blessing, or they can cause much pain. Usually the outcome is directly affected by how much the parents obey God's Word in raising them. Illus: One lady that had three teenagers was asked, "If you had it to do all over ...read more

God Is Not The Author Of Confusion

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

All of us have driven through neighborhoods and noticed that many of the houses are built with carports - some even with double carports - to park their cars out of the bad weather.

In many of these homes, from the street you see the garage doors are open, and you immediately come to the conclusion there is no way they could park a car in there because they are filled with what looks like junk. It is even dangerous to walk into some of these carports because you might get ...read more

God, Are You Sure?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

Chapter five of Exodus teaches us it is the will of God for man to live and worship God in freedom.

In Exodus 4, we saw the RELUCTANT PROPHET that came up with all kinds of excuses for why he could not be God’s man to lead Israel out of Egypt. In Exodus 5, Moses became willing to obey God in the PERMISSIVE WILL OF GOD, BUT NOT THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD. The PERFECT WILL OF GOD was for God to ...read more
