The Ten Commandments Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 18, 2021

Today’s Scripture And God spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for ...read more

The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God", Part 3

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 27, 2023

One of the major arguments (proofs) for the existence of God is based upon moral standards, defined as the concept of right and wrong, good and evil, ethics and emotions that are in our consciences and have guided civilizations throughout history.

The job of a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is not only share the Gospel, but also to make all non-believers uncomfortable in their assumptions.

Facing The Challenge Of A Warped Society

Avoiding Scandal At All Costs

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 25, 2024

If we do something evil, or say something we shouldn’t, and an innocent person, called “little one” in Christ’s words, hears or sees us, that is scandalous.
