    Serving God

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2024
     | 2,214 views

    Howard Ingram had an old saying, “Many Christians have just enough religion to make them miserable.” Serving God should be one of the greatest things in the world.

    Many Christians have a wrong idea, view, and attitude toward serving God. There are those today that do not love God’s service. It should be the greatest thrill and joy of our lives. John 15:16; tells us that we are chosen by God. Many, when talking or preaching about service, want to tune you ...read more

    Perspective And Persuasion (March 20, 2009)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 15, 2022
     | 1,160 views

    Unlike Agrippa, Festus would not have been familiar with the prophets, like Agrippa because he was not as familiar with the Jewish religion. Paul was speaking soberly about his subject.

    ACTS 26: 28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian." 29 And Paul said, "I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains." PERSPECTIVE AND ...read more

    True healing flows from faith in Jesus—not from rituals, not from religion, not from worldly remedies, but from a personal, life-transforming encounter with the Lord of all.

    Go! And Be Healed Through Faith in Jesus - Luke 8:43–48 Opening Prayer Heavenly Father, we thank You for the healing power that flows from Jesus Christ.

    What Doth The Lord Require Of Thee

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,094 views

    God has brought a charge against His people, and the charge is the same that He brings to us today. Their religion and their worship had become nothing but emptiness and meaningless rituals. All of it had become unrelated to their character and unrelated to their daily life.

    They were deeply religious. They were very faithful in performing the acts of worship, but they were empty and meaningless. They had no affect whatsoever on the character of those who worship and on their daily walk and activities. As we go through this life serving God, we need to be careful not ...read more

    Getting To The Heart

     | 1,772 views

    Religion is about keeping and maintaining laws and traditions, but Jesus nullifies these rules and regulations in favor of a relationship, and within that relationship all the laws of God are contained and worked out. It is through this relationship that we can get to the heart of God.

    Getting To The Heart Watch on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o5NlL02LPU There is a popular phrase that is used when we want to get to the bottom of something, or of our need to get to the most important aspect of something.

    A balanced Christian life tends to common daily duties without complaint but also pursues spiritual revitalization through communion with the Lord and feeding on God's word. This balance is particularly important during turbulent times.

    Intro As we approach the November election, we find ourselves in an intense time in our history. The attempted assassination of President Trump testifies to that fact.

    Truths Worth Fighting For

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 26, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,862 views

    Some truths, those that define the Faith of Christ the Lord, demand that we stand firm in defending them against distortion. The faithful depend upon each of us as followers of Christ to defend the Faith, speaking the truth in love.

    “Some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, ‘Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.’ And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem ...read more

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 5, 2025
     | 23 views

    As Jesus confronted the "false religious" on-goings in the Temple, we must ask if we are willing to confront sin, cast it out, and live a life devoted to Him? Or, will we allow our own desires and emotions to lead us?

     | 3,621 views

    The song “Victory In Jesus” is a powerful story of how a Savior comes to rescue His people from failure and give them victory. Too many Christians today feel chained to their religion, they feel defeated. And we have no right to feel that way.

    Saul’s experience on the Damascus Road proves that God is more powerful than any Terrorist. Saul’s "religion" was keeping him from "relationship"with Jesus Christ.

    Intro: Suppose Osama Ben Laden, Sadaam Hussein, or another famous terrorist leader was reported to have been converted to Christ. While many would be skeptical most would agree that God’s power had been at work and a Miracle had taken place. Such a miracle happened to the terrorist named Saul. ...read more

    People have different opinions as it relates to religion. That’s what makes faith real and authentic. People should not be coerced into believing something; they must come to their own faith.
