Contributed by Bob Wilkin on Aug 3, 2010

Knowing for sure that you are eternally secure is not a matter of inspecting your behavior; it is a matter of taking the Lord Jesus Christ at His Word: "He who lives and believes in Me shall never die [spiritually]."

Test: Blame Game

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 14, 2020

We seem to live in a "ME" day, me, myself and I. We can easily develop an attitude of blaming others for our own behavior. Evaluate yourself. Hold yourself accountable.

Be Present Among The Lost Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Some believers insist on keeping a safe distance from the lost, afraid of being contaminated by their behavior or being seen as guilty by association; and so they fail to share their faith with the ones who actually need their help.

It is my desire to preach on real issues that we deal with as believers, so here’s a real observation to start off with: Some believers act like once they have received God’s forgiveness and been saved from their sins by the blood of Jesus Christ that they’re somehow better than the lost. However, ...read more

Prepare To Meet Your God

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

If We Are Going To See The Church Multiply

Contributed by Mark Engler on Nov 25, 2014

Making A Name For Ourselves

Contributed by Mitch Davis on Jul 10, 2007

And they did not receive him, because his ...read more
