The Remedy For An Unsatisfied Life

Contributed by James Snyder on Apr 11, 2016

The abundant Christian life cannot be taken for granted, but must be intentional. The key to the abundant Christian life is a radical focus on Jesus Christ.

The focus today is on the Christian. The whole book of Song of Solomon deals with the Bride of Christ. Nothing in this book has anything at all to do with the non-Christian. Applying anything in this book to the non-Christian is completely wrong. As a Christian, God has things to say to me that the ...read more

Helping Children To Know God

Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 10, 2015

Children need to know God's Truth; they can't simply take on their parent's beliefs, but need to understand and receive the truth of God on their own. Parents have a responsibility to guide children in the way they're to go.

Being a parent is an enormous responsibility. I can’t think of anything in life that’s more challenging. I’ve been to war, and I’ve had kids; war was easier. Proverbs 22:6 tells parents to “Train up children in the way they should go, and when they are old, they ...read more

Salt Of The Earth

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Apr 29, 2020

It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” (Matthew 5:13) Salt today has become such a commonplace part of our lives, available in every home or restaurant, ...read more
