    Not A Heretic Hunter

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 12, 2022
     | 2,221 views

    These days you do not have to hunt heresy as it comes right out of the darkness and parades itself in the open field.

    We live in an age where no one likes to be challenged or corrected. I do not like to be wrong, but I have told congregations to go home and study the Word after a sermon to be sure I know what I am talking about. If I do not, do not leave me ...read more

    Really..., I'm supposed to: pray for the King and all those in authority? That is what it says. That is God's inspired Word. That is not given as a suggestion, it is a command.

    Foregoing Our Rights Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,820 views

    Paul did not use his rights because of his concern for the witness of the Gospel and the welfare of the people he is reaching out to.

    Everyone has rights. We can stand up for our rights. We ask for what we deserve. • Yet it is not always necessary for us to do so. There are times when we need to forego legitimate rights for a higher good. I came across what was trending two days ago – “Don’t Treat Us Like We Owe You a Living” – ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,996 views

    God acknowledges those who have accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior, and just as a physical structure requires a solid foundation to withstand storms, our lives and faith need a strong spiritual foundation to endure life’s uncertainties and to grow in our faith.

    Acts Of The Apostles (11 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,465 views

    Chapters 6 and 7, told us how God used the great deacon, Stephen, and how he gave his life for the gospel.

    Now we are going to study about how that affected the church. When some people who belong to church die, it does not have much of an impact on God's work, because they did not love the Lord, or His church. But when a man like Stephen dies, it leaves a vacuum for some time. Look at verse ...read more
