"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (18 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

The Armor Of God 4 Of 8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Often when the police send out an APB (All Points Bulletin) on the police band, they will alert their fellow officers to be on the lookout for a particularly dangerous criminal and they will say they are "Armed and Dangerous".

Many Post Offices have a bulletin board that shows pictures of these criminals so that we will know what they look like if we come into contact with them.

Israel’s Greatest General (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 1, 2022

The life of Joshua, of the Bible, is unique in many ways. First, it is unique in that his name is mentioned in the Bible. If God had said nothing about him at all except to mention his name, that would have made him very special.

He was even more unique in that we have a record of his life when he was A YOUNG MAN and also when he was OLD MAN. Then the Bible tells us, in chapter twenty-three, what took place when he was, “stricken with age.” Joshua had lived a godly life. Before he DEPARTED, he wanted to IMPART things to ...read more
