I Delight In Your Word Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 26, 2022

When the wind is right, South Koreans launch “Bible Balloons” into North Korea, where the Bible is banned. They are chocked full of Bibles on SD cards, flash drives, and photos of the Bible’s pages.

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in all of your Bibles. Now, the longest chapter in your Bible is devoted to how important the Bible is to our lives. Even though the Bible is really valuable, the words and wisdom of the Bible are objectionable to so many people. Banning the Bible The Bible is ...read more

Let The Fire Burn Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul recognizes that God has given man this power, and that is why he urges them not to lose it, but says quench not the Spirit. Let the fire burn he pleads. We need the heat, the light, and the power that only can be ours as we yield to the fire of the Spirit.

An embarrassing situation marked the passing of a well known fire chief. None of the family has spoken to any member of his engine company since the funeral. With the best of intentions these fire men sent what they felt was a high tribute. It was a floral arrangement with gold letters saying ...read more

Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 19, 2022

Don't Just Do Something - Sit There

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 12, 2021

Sometimes we need to get alone, be still, and listen to God. Then other times we need to put ACTION to our prayers.

"We Minister And Belong To One Another”

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 17, 2021

The Church is the family of God. Each member ministers to one another and belongs to one another. But, if members overestimate themselves, they would damage the church and church ministry rather than edify. God called us as church to practice the love of God among ourselves and to the world.

“We minister and belong to one another” (Romans 12:1-10) I appeal to you therefore, brothers,[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.[b] 2 Do not be conformed to this world,[c] but be transformed by the ...read more

Has Satan Hindered You?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Nov 27, 2023

In fact if we are really trying our best to follow Jesus, there are times it seems we could say, “The devil wouldn't let me do it.” Let's be sure about this, the devil's power is limited. But even the apostle Paul said that the devil got in his way and caused his plans to change.
