You may have observed the additional security being provided by the government for those who are in high positions, especially if there is a threat to their life. However, as children of God we need to be reminded that our protection comes not from men, but from God Himself.

Worship And Justice

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 28, 2023

We deplore the loss of morality, the loss of civility, the loss of social stability - and yet how many of us recognize that those are only the deeper symptoms of a greater loss, the loss of our sense of accountability before God?

God’s Testimony Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 20, 2021

God is mindful of all our ways and therefore it is crucial that we live in such a way that we receive a good testimony from God. The bible records these attestations of God, about those who walked in total obedience to Him.

We read in Psalm 91:15, “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.” (AFV) For our study today we will only focus on the first part of this verse, “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;” These are the words of the ...read more

Sixth Commandment (6 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

This is the shortest of all of the commandments and so simple that even a small child could understand it. However, in our society today this simple commandment is misunderstood by some.

For example, some carry this so far as to apply "Thou shalt not kill” to the killing of insects. Illus: Let me ask you something, if I see a fly on the table and I walk into the other room, get the fly swat, and carefully walk back to where the fly is, raise the fly swat in such a way as ...read more

Third Commandment (3 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

To avoid confusion: • One was referred to as: “Minister Upright". • Another was referred to as, “Minister Downright”. • And another was referred to as, “Minister Outright.” • And the fourth was referred to as, ...read more
