    Ladies, if your Boaz never shows up it is OK to be single. Guys, if your Ruth never shows up it is OK.

    This is primarily for the ladies, but much also applies to the men. Many young people are worried about the dating scene and marriage seems unattainable as they age. Some have said that if you are not married by forty, it is unlikely you will and for the ladies it means they will not have ...read more

    The Price Of Peace

    Jesus warns his followers that the consequences of following him will be painful and disruptive, and that they’d better be prepared for it.

    The disciples were confused. When the Messiah came, peace and righteousness would reign from one end of the earth to the other. All the prophets agreed. And if Jesus was the Messiah as they were all now pretty sure he was, he would be the one who brought it about. He would be the Prince of Peace ...read more

    However, we may not even see a glimpse in this life. We may have to go through what seems like Hell on the way to Heaven.

    Everyone likes to use the phrase the best is yet to come. If you are not a Christian the worst is yet to come. Your life may be golden here, but in the end your life will be Hell for eternity. Indeed, the best for a Christian is to be in Heaven so the best is yet to come. However, that does not ...read more

    How can we stand strong when others are against us, when others speak evil against us, when others tell on us to get us in trouble, or when others persecute us? Can I have faith when people are out to get me? Dare to be a Daniel!

    Paul Missed The Memo

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 2, 2024
     | 957 views

    Since some believe they can time travel in Jesus they should go back and teach Paul the prosperity gospel as he obviously missed the memo on that.

    Acts 14:19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed ...read more

    There may be full pews under the spires, but all is vain unless the Spirit inspires.

    The core problem is that we live in a culture that is looking for the innovative versus the inspired. We want excitement more than exegesis. Give us 10 easy steps to holiness or the 1minute disciple program and we are into it. Gather up a bunch of ideas that have been preached for years by many ...read more
