While We Suffer (Covid And The Christian) Series

Contributed by Joe Williams on Nov 13, 2020

A word we don't like is submission. We certainly don't like it when we feel as if we're being wronged somehow. “Submission” is the key ingredient that enables a Christian to live a good life among the ungodly!

I’m confident that in the years that follow, there will be plenty of articles and books written about this chapter in world history and in church history. And they will address the question, “what lessons did we learn from all of this?” And I’m confident that much of that will be helpful. Looking ...read more

How To Be A Christian Citizen Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

God has drawn a moral standard, a line. “That’s my boundary. That’s my spiritual fault line. You better move your life to get in line with it.” And too many Americans are saying, “No, I want to move God’s line and change God’s standard to fit my life.”

INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles to Romans 13. I think sometimes our families are sent by God to keep us humble. I remember when I was pastoring a church in Alabama, and Jenni was a little girl. She saw me get up to preach and she said, “Daddy, what are you doing before you get up to ...read more

Contributed by Mark Engler on Dec 4, 2014

What Does The Bible Say About The Christian’s Relationship With The Government?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 25, 2021

It’s one we don’t talk about particularly often. - As we start, I want to acknowledge up front that these passages are difficult. I want to say that I don’t like everything ...read more

Our Backyard Needs Cleaned.

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 1, 2021

Sinners and the government are not the real problem. We are our own worse enemies refusing to clean ourselves up so sinners will want to be clean.

Law & Order

Contributed by Peter Baumgartle on Aug 4, 2020

The current uprising that America is experiencing is evidence that the basic Christian tenets upon which our nation was built are NOT being transferred or adequately taught. Man, instead of evolving upward, appears to be reverting back to barbarianism, where "might makes right"

Sermon: A Time For War And A Time For Peace

Contributed by Lee Houston on Feb 20, 2025

It is fun to preach on topics like Christmas or going to heaven. However, I would not be doing my duty as a pastor if I did not occasionally speak about some dark subject. Today, that subject is war. Our Bible chronicles many wars.

The Reason We Submit To Authority Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021

Obedience that originates from this kind of fear of penalty is not true obedience. That is the reason why the apostle Paul exhorts us in Romans 13:5, that our obedience must stem from our conscience and not because we fear the consequences of disobedience.

The Reason We Submit to Authority In Romans 13:5 we read, “We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.” (WNT) All of us are familiar with the principle that if we don’t obey rules and submit to those in authority, we will get punished, and ...read more
