Who Calls?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 30, 2023

Hearing and answering God's call has four parts in two pairs. We need to recognize who God is, and who we are, and after being cleansed, we must respond.

Do you ever screen your calls? By that I mean do you look to see who’s calling before you answer? I answer most of my calls right when they happen unless it’s tagged “scam likely” or I’m driving (I haven’t hooked up my Bluetooth yet) or if the phone is in the other room or if I accidentally left it ...read more

Train Your Conscience - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 22, 2021

The Lord warns us that our eyes should be trained to be pure. Many are struggling with the sins of the eyes, because while there is much restriction as to what one can do with their hands and legs, there is no restraint set as to what one can do with their eyes.

Train your conscience - Part 2 In the past few chapters, we have delved deep into the subject of our conscience. To summarize briefly, we understand that our conscience is placed inside of us by God Himself, it is God’s gift to us, which serves as our internal audit to help us be aware of what is ...read more

Reducing The Ark Of God To A Good Luck Charm

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 1, 2021

In the early part of the time when Samuel was a Judge of Israel the people were still far from God. In a brazen act of foolishness some men charged into the Holy of Holies and and ran off with the Ark hoping it could help them defeat the enemy. It did not.

"I Will Make You Fishers Of Men”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 5, 2022

There are some things in the Bible that people sometimes feel they can be justified in saying, “I do not understand what that passage means.”

In those cases, we feel that God is not going to hold them responsible. However, some passages even the new convert can understand and obey. We know God does hold us responsible, and we will give account for those things we do understand. For example, the Bible clearly teaches that every ...read more

What Caused The Wise Men To ‘leave-It-All?’

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 7, 2024

The Wise Men were the ultimate seekers after Jesus. They left their businesses, their families, their reputations, and risked their lives to honor the Christ-child. The very night after their visit, the holy Family had to flee Herod. What timing!

She rolled down her window and said, “Sir, I’m going to give you this dollar, not because you deserve it, but because it ...read more

Saved From Guilt

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Jul 6, 2023

Guilt can be crippling. Jesus did not come to condemn but to save. When Jesus died we died. We have been raised a new creation. No more the old guilty man

For more than 50 years I lived in guilt. Even though I knew I was forgiven by God. I had been abused at eight years old and I could never tell anybody about it. At least I felt I could not speak about it because I had made my abuse my own and I felt ashamed. In later years I felt afraid to be found ...read more
