    "hate Speech" According To Jesus: A Refresher Course

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,779 views

    The Lord Jesus warned His disciples that they would be hated for telling the truth about sin, spiritual death, and the need for redemption found only in Him (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). This message is still hated by the world today. Some things never change.

    I want to begin with defining a term describing the attempts of Christians who, no matter how well-meaning their intentions, somehow believe that they can make friends with a worldview that hates them no matter what they do, say, or imitate. They bend over backwards trying to "fit in" ...read more

    In difficult times genuine followers of Christ abide in Christ, abound in love, and advance with power.

    Greg Laurie tells a story about a woman, who had finished shopping and returned to her car. She found four men inside the car. She dropped her shopping bags, drew a handgun, and screamed, “I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car.” Those men did not wait for a second invitation; ...read more

    What The World Hates...

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Nov 12, 2023

    How did we get to a point where there are those that sit in a church who don’t believe what is necessary to be saved, let alone what it is to be a true Christian? Well, this is a problem of leadership.

    I always try to make the distinction between what the Bible calls a church, and what we think a church is…the Bible speaks of the church as the collected body of true believers in Christ Jesus, while we think the church is a building like this and all the people contained within it. This I say so ...read more

    Our Fourfold Union With Christ

    To me, John 15, is one of the richest chapters in the Bible. It seems like you can study and study it and never get out all there is there to have. It shows what is my possession in Christ. What is my responsibility in Him? What is His responsibility to me?

    Notice there is four names that He gives to us that follow Him. 1. Ye are the branches, verse 5 2. Ye are my friends, verse 14 3. Ye are my servants, verse 20 4. Ye are my witnesses, verse 27 So, in John 15, we have four titles, four descriptions of us who follow Christ. We are branches, we are ...read more

    You gave me a soul, Lord. You gave me a life. Now show me how to live it. How do we go about living this life before us? Where do we go from here?

    So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you. James 1:21 GNT You gave me a soul, Lord. You gave me a life. Now show me how to live it. How do we go about living this life before us? Where do ...read more

    The nation of Israel was depicted as a vine planted by Jehovah (Isaiah 5:1–7). But the nation proved unfaithful and unfruitful, so the Lord Jesus now presented Himself as the true vine.

    Two lessons appear within letters to the Churches of Revelation (Asia Minor) to teach us valuable truths to strengthen our faith and resolve to holiness.

    THE BOOK OF REVELATION CONTAINS AN UNMISTAKABLE AND CLEAR MESSAGE TO EACH OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES. THE LETTERS CONTAIN A MIXTURE OF CRITIQUE, COMMENDATION, CRITICISM, EXHORTATION, AND CALLS TO REPENT AND CHANGE. WHETHER IT WAS PRAISE OR REBUKE, ALL THE CHURCHES HEARD THE CHALLENGE TO “LISTEN TO WHAT ...read more

    The Bible tells us that there will be a time when some will "depart" from the "faith"

    Whenever there is a cataclysmic event, like a global pandemic, fires, floods, earthquakes, etc., etc., etc., the cry goes out that it may be the end of days and you need to get your act together so you don't miss the 'Rapture,' or take the mark of the Beast (Revelation 16:2; 19:20), ...read more

    Living In The Fall Of Man: On A Lonely Christian Walk

     | 1,076 views

    Are you feeling caught between worlds? Are you feeling troubled by an emotion you can't quite name? Are you desperately lonely? Cut off? Perplexed? Amazed?

    "The loneliness of the Christian results from his walk with God in an ungodly world, a walk that must often take him away from the fellowship of good Christians as well as from that of the unregenerate world. His God-given instincts cry out for companionship with others of his kind, others ...read more

    Jesus was hated by the world, for no other reason than He had come to reveal the Father. As those who are associated with Jesus we should accept the same level of hate.

    Message John 15:18-25 “Get Used To Being Hated” Living with teenagers can be heaps of fun. Especially when they go through that wonderful time of life called “puberty”. You just never know what is going to happen from one moment to the next. You can be quietly sitting in front of the tv. Your ...read more

    Thursday of 6th Week in Easter 2018 Reformation/Revolution Our New Testament readings today show two approaches to proclaiming the Gospel of Christ.

    Jesus says we are not of this world, this secular society, and so those who hear us and see us will at first despise us and everything we do and say.

    Saturday of the Fifth Week in Easter 2024 Today’s Scriptures give one of the best examples of stating a principle of evangelization in the Gospel and giving an example of application in the reading from the Acts of the Apostles. Jesus had given his farewell sermon and prayers during the Last ...read more
