Unless The Lord Builds The House

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 22, 2017

God building our house and guarding us sounds strictly providential, but God’s involvement is ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON OUR COOPERATION WITH HIM; they are blessings outflowing from our abiding and obedience.

I heard about a man who picked up a homeless man and took him to Denney’s for breakfast. While eating the man asked him how he ended up this way. 3. He said, "Up until ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022

Have you ever been hit on the head and had someone take you to the emergency room and a doctor examined you?

Sloth is a sluggishness of soul or boredom because of the exertion necessary for the performance of a good work. Are we guilty of it?

In the rain forests of Central and South America dwells a small ugly looking mammal called a sloth. This little creature is so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. When it moves—which is rarely, since it spends 20 hours a day sleeping—it travels at a top speed of 0.15 mph. When we think ...read more

The Foolishness Of Christmas Series

Let's look at the foolishness of Christmas and see just how wise it really is. The foolishness of God is very simply the foolishness of love. True love tends to be foolish for it takes risks.

A large number of life's greatest blessings start out as stupid, moronic foolishness in the eyes of many people. This was the case with Samuel Morse, a pastor's son and an artist who left his art for a new idea. He thought that a message could be sent by means of electricity. He labored ...read more

The Feasts Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on May 29, 2025

The thing we cannot do was accomplished on our behalf by Christ, through his sacrifice. Through our faith in that sacrifice and the transformational relationship that occurs as a result, we become holy and set-apart in the eyes of God.

Yahweh begins by restating the Sabbath Commandment – once again setting the 7th day apart from all other special days or events. Next, He designated 6 feasts/festivals that Israel ...read more
