  • Nonviolence In Early Christian Thought Through The Fourth Century

    Contributed by Daniel Keeran on Apr 3, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,448 views

    If nonviolence is indeed the teaching of Jesus in the New Testament, we would expect to find it in the earliest writings of Christians including and after the apostles and prophets of the Lord. What do we find?

    If nonviolence is indeed the teaching of Jesus in the New Testament, we would expect to find it in the earliest writings of Christians including and after the apostles and prophets of the Lord. What do we find? First Century There is no example or teaching in the New Testament that Christians can ...read more

  • Tools Of The Faith Part 1: Take That Thought Captive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Jun 2, 2010
    based on 6 ratings

    Tools of the faith make our journey easier. As we live in the will of God as we think in accordance with his will, we stay in his will.

    We are told in scripture to work out our salvation. The interesting thing about this is that when we work we need a few tools and the better the quality of the tools the easier the job usually goes and the better the results. (Here I pulled a couple of nails out of a peice of wood with a jemmy bar ...read more

    How Christlike are your thoughts? How Christlike are your actions? How Christlike is your daily life? Do you have the mind-set, the attitude of Christ, in every aspect of your life?

Today our topic is Tempted to think right thoughts. The verse I want us to consider together this morning is ...read more

  • Thoughts On Public Schooling: Should Christians Homeschool Their Children?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021
     | 1,443 views

    Many an average American boy or girl will be raised up in the school rooms of public education. I would like to share some thoughts from great minds on education itself, public education, and wisdom. I'd also like to share my personal experiences in the public education system.

    “The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” ? Martin Luther King Jr. Many ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From First John (1 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,866 views

    1 John is called one of the “General Epistles,” because it was not sent to a specific church. Rather, it was sent to churches in general.

    The three books of John are referred to as “letters, however, the first was not written in the form of a letter. For example, it has no salutation nor conclusion. In fact, it has all the characteristics of a sermon in which a pastor is revealing his love for God’s people. To have a good ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (2 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,088 views

    In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

    Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (3 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,137 views

    In chapter two we see why many think John was a “softy.” Look at verse 1. We read, “My little children...”

    As we read these words, we can not help but think of an old, gray-haired man expressing concern for his children. This was exactly what John was doing. In a pervious sermon we dealt with the two sides of John’s personality. • That is, he had the intestinal fortitude to be able to look at the ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (4 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,348 views

    In 1 John, chapter one, John had the audacity to tell some of those who claimed to be saved that they were liars.

    Evidently John never took a course in “HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE”. If he had taken it, he would have had a hard time passing the course. We know this because we see he called those people liars five times. He used “liar(s)” in: • 1 John 1:10. • 1 John 2:4. • 1 John 2:22. • 1 John ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (5 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,214 views

    In a previous sermon we dealt with what John had to say about how we can KNOW that WE KNOW THE LORD.

    We discovered that anyone can say that they know the Lord...anyone! All one has to say is, “I know the Lord.” John used the word, “saith,” numerous times. He referred to it in: • 1 John 2:4. He said, “HE THAT SAITH, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (6 Of 16)

    John gives us seven tests to take to see if we KNOW the Lord. Today we come to the FIFTH test.

    So far we have taken FOUR tests: I. The Attitude Test II. The Action Test III. The Affection Test IV. The Actuality Test Today we want to look at this FIFTH test. V. THE ADULTERY TEST WHAT KIND OF TEST IS THIS? This is a test that deals with our relationship with the world. That ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (7 Of 16)

     | 1,141 views

    This will be a message about the sixth of the seven tests John proposed Christians take to see if we REALLY KNOW THE LORD.

    So far we have taken: I. THE ATTITUDE TEST II. THE ACTION TEST III. THE AFFECTION TEST IV. THE ACTUALITY TEST V. THE ADULTERERS TEST But today we want to look at the SIXTH test which is VI. THE ANTICHRIST TEST These will be men who will claim to know God and some of them even claim to ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (8 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,136 views

    Today we want to take the seventh test that John gave us to see if we really know the Lord.

    So far we have taken: 1. THE ATTITUDE TEST 2. THE ACTION TEXT 3. THE AFFECTION TEST 4. THE ACTUALITY TEST 5. THE ADULTERY TEST 6. THE ANTICHRIST TEST So many folks may say they KNOW THE LORD, but, if they can not pass the tests John gives, they do not really know the Lord. The Lord Jesus ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (10 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,329 views

    In this passage of scripture, John deals with something we want to look at very closely and consider in this message.

    He deals with the topic of how we are supposed to love one another. Of course much of the Bible deals with this subject, yet it seems to be something we Christians know very little about and those who are not Christians know even less. As we look at our text we want to learn from what it says to ...read more

    Some of the physical problems we hear much about people having are heart problems. Anyone can be a victim of heart disease or attack.

    Illus: A man in Columbia, South Carolina went to a doctor because he was tired most of the time. The doctor examined him and found out he was only getting 20% use of his heart. They did open heart surgery on him, opened up some valves and today he feels like a new man. There are many people in our ...read more

  • Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (12 Of 16)

     | 1,698 views

    We see many differences in God’s church today when we compare it to the New Testament church.

    For example, I am sure that if the apostle Paul could come back today and see the excellent buildings we worship in, he would marvel over them and see them as a big improvement compared to what they had worshipped in. But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more
