The Master Motive Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

This is the secret of Paul’s constant drive, for even with all of his trials and frustrations, he could rejoice in the Lord always because his master motive was to please God

Paul had to face this question everywhere he went, for the Judaisers were hot on his trail trying to destroy the fruit of his labors. From the defensive nature ...read more

Eighth Commandment (10 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

This morning we dealt with the commandment, "Thou shalt not Steal." We found out that we can steal in many ways. We found, for example, that we can steal:

1. Through gossip: We can say many things about people that can rob them of their good reputation. 2. Through being a bad employee. Not doing the job that we are being paid to do, or even perhaps dipping our hands in the till. 3. Through being a bad employer. An employer can easily steal from his ...read more

Prophecy Fulfilled Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Prophecy is also perverted in every generation by those who feel it was all written for just their day. There is a whole graveyard full of old prophecy books that died along with the people who are suppose to be the anti-Christ.

In no area of biblical studies have Christians been more often deceived then in the area of prophecy. The early church fathers got caught up in wild spiritualizing of the Old Testament. They found profound revelations where there were none. It became so subjective that you could make Scripture ...read more
