God tells us that all children who believe and all who believe like little children are citizens of his Kingdom.

Evil Brings Out The Best In Christians

Contributed by Eric Amundson on Mar 29, 2001

Loving our enemies

We are infected by the world. We live in and are bombarded, moment by moment, with the message that our injuries own us. They must be avenged. W.H. Auden wrote: I and the public know, What school children learn, Those to whom evil is done, Do evil in return. That is the way of this world. ...read more

Response To Tragedy: Repent!

Contributed by Vernon Murray on Mar 15, 2004

When tragedy strikes, we can wear ourselves thin asking why; or we can use the occasion for turning our life around.

INTRODUCTION Terror has struck again. Over 200 people were killed in Madrid this week and thousands more were injured.

It's Not Fair!

Contributed by Ken Durham on Jul 22, 2005

Can we hear ourselves saying “It’s not fair!” And you are probably right! It isn’t. Ask Jesus – He knows.

INTRODUCTION Do you agree we live in an unfair world? It’s strange how quickly children are aware that life is not fair. Just listen into what children have to say and it’s not long before the words “It’s not fair!” can be heard. Someone has more sweets or a bigger present than another, having to ...read more

Those Who Are Persecuted Series

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 7, 2005

There are some who do not see the Christian life as one that involves physical or emotional pain. The popular message to preach nowadays is the “prosperity message.” That message satisfies a lot of people.

Hearing God's Voice

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Nov 8, 2014

How do we know if God is speaking to us? How can I recognize God's voice? Does God still speak? Does God speak to me? There are 3 main voices we hear our entire lives...God's, Satan's, and our own. How do we know which is which?

Hearing God I will start with the example of Jeremiah the prophet. In the eyes of the world Jeremiah was a miserable failure. For 40 years he served as God's spokesperson to Judah; but when Jeremiah spoke...nobody listened. (pastors must feel that way at times) Jeremiah was poor and deprived. ...read more
