  • Hearing God

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 25, 2025
     | 90 views

    God doesn't appease our flesh when He speaks. Our flesh has to contend with what He communicates. This is the acid test to know whether it is God talking to us or whether we are hearing our inner voice or familiar (spirits) voices (Leviticus 19:31; 20:6,27).

    INTRODUCTION: According to the Bible, God speaks in several ways. In the Old Testament, God often communicated with His people directly, through theophanies, or audible speech, as when He spoke to Moses from the burning bush (Exodus 3:4) or gave the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:1). ...read more

It is the purposeless life that finds itself in discontent, discouragment, depression, and is a leading factor of suicide. No purpose. Useless. Yes, those are extremes. But, do not ...read more

  • Presenting Our Mouths: Swallowing, Spitting, Speaking Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 23, 2001
    based on 58 ratings
     | 12,141 views

    In order to be effective witnesses, we must first be knowledgeable -- swallowing God’s word; must then be cleansed spiritually -- spitting out whatever is no longer appropriate; and then speak with confidence and passion. Mini-messages with props.

    Our mouths get us into trouble. One of you said that to me the other day. You had opened your mouth to voice an opinion about something that should be done in the community where you live, and before you knew it, you were chairing the committee to get it done. Nobody had even noticed you were in ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 29, 2000
    based on 176 ratings
     | 18,324 views

    Christian unity is not based upon agreeing with one another or having the same doctrinal beliefs. Nor is it compromising your beliefs for the sake of unity.

    Accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior made us a member of His family, the Body of Christ, and we also became His bride. We were grafted into the vine, the bloodline of Jesus. This made us into an instant blood relative to every Christian throughout time, co-equal with every believer as a brother ...read more
