Prepared

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 10, 2022

I am not talking solely about Christ's return today. We should live our lives in such a way that every day people see Jesus in us. And then, when Christ returns, we’ll be unashamed before Him.

I want to start off today by naming a few random items. As I name these items, I want to know what do you think of as I name these things. A flashlight. A battery-operated radio. A cell phone charger. And bottled water. What do you think of? Usually when we gather items like these it is ...read more

Success And Failure

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 23, 2025

God allowed the Joshua and the Israelites to be defeated by the people of Ai the first time and then gave them the victory when the next time when they set things right before God. There are some godly principles we need to follow so we can have success and avoid failures in life.

Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 7:4, “So about 3,000 men from the people went up there, but they fled before the men of Ai.” (TLV) When the people of Israel were confronted with the mighty city of Jericho, they trusted God, obeyed His counsel, and thereby experienced an astounding victory. ...read more

Give And Take

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023

Givers trust in God, rather than in themselves; they are focused outward. Takers have not learned to trust in God and focus on their own needs.

Anybody remember the televangelist scandals of the 80’s? Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Oral Roberts and his highly publicized plea for - what was it, $8 million? - to keep God from striking him dead. Remember the uproar in all the secular news media and the shame felt by so many evangelicals at being ...read more

Paul’s Charge To The Ephesian Elders Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 14, 2023

Paul sees the elders of the Ephesian church for the last time. He gives them a charge: 'Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock.' It's a message the church needs to hear today.

Today’s passage has a lot to tell us about the job of a minister or pastor or elder. Maybe you think, ‘I’m not a minister or pastor or elder. This doesn’t apply to me’! But all of us have responsibilities towards other people. This passage has something to say to all of us. Before I get ...read more

My Country 'tis Of Thee

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Jul 5, 2003

There is a rumor going around our nation about something called the "separation of church and state." What does that phrase mean? Are we a nation whose God is the Lord?

Rumors can be devastating to people and their lives. I remember when I was a teenager. My father injured his foot. I don’t think he broke it, I think he just sprained it. But I do remember that he could not go into the office for several days, so instead, he just set up an office at our ...read more

That Magnificent Kingdom Mark 4:21-34 This past week I was getting my oil changed and I had a chance to present the gospel to the guy in the waiting room with me.

Contributed by Ray Scott on Aug 7, 2003

We live in a negative world. The Bible is full of positives. In the parable of the Prodigal Son & the Elder Brother, we see both optimism & pessimism.

“Being Optimistic In A Pessimistic World” INTRODUCTION: There are many books on POSITIVE THINKING.
