Works Or Not?

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 14, 2022

Doing good works is a very controversial topic among Christians, because they are either overemphasized or underemphasized. It’s hard to find the balance, but the scriptures are the best help.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 20, 2024

As we drive around town, we see signs on store windows and commercial building that state…NOW HIRING!

• We are told today by the business world it is difficult to hire people to work. • And we are also told those who are hired it is difficult to get them to work once they are hired.

Visible Faith

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 19, 2024

A faith that is revealed in our character, exhibited in conflicts, and heard in our conversations. He calls us to… persevere amidst trials, ...read more
