Caricature Or Reality (Part 1)

Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 23, 2017

In order to pray, worship and serve God effectively, we need to understand who he is. This begins with an understanding that he is first of all holy. Only when we get a handle on his holiness can everything else fall into place.

Do you know what a caricature is? You see them all the time when you pick up a newspaper. You often have political cartoons where the details are not true life representations. Prominent features are often exaggerated and non-prominent features are diminished or eliminated altogether. If you go to ...read more

Paul’s Service, Speech, And Stand

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021

A song that a lot of churches used to sing a lot, was, “I shall not be moved.

The chorus of that song goes like this, “I shall not be, I shall not be moved; I shall not be, I shall not be moved: just like a tree that’s planted by the waters, Lord, I shall not be moved.” But the problem with many of the saints of God singing that song is that they are not like a tree planted ...read more

The Growth & Flourishing Of The Christian Mind

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

How High Can We Go? Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Paul is a master of the balanced life, and that is why we see both the negatives and the positives so often in his writings. Be not conformed, but be transformed he says in verse 2, and now in verse 3 he gives us another negative and positive to keep us steady as we climb.

An officer of the American Flying Corps told of his experience during World War II. He went out over the ocean alone, and he saw a storm coming rapidly toward him. It was blacker than midnight. He looked down to see if he could go beneath it, but the ocean was already boiling with fury. His only ...read more

Don’t Worry… Be Happy!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 22, 2022

Several years ago the #1 song on the pop charts was titled: “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.

It was an upbeat song with an upbeat message. While there was no theological message intended in the song, I think we Christians could take a lesson from the concept it employs. This song’s concept of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” should be the desire and experience of every Christian. In the world ...read more
