The Sin God Hates Most Of All

Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Jul 19, 2001

Let me ask you a question: “Have you ever found a Christian group that doesn’t have any problems?” If so, don’t join it—you’ll ruin everything.

What Will People Remember ?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 17, 2023

Alba 9-17-2023 WHAT WILL PEOPLE REMEMBER? I Thessalonians 1:1-5 Do you ever have trouble remembering things? That is not a trick question. Someone said, “I always forget things at the grocery store.

Sin

Contributed by Cedric Portis on Dec 11, 2001

Ignoring the sin present in your life is not recognizing the fact that you have and need a savior. Labeling sin as anything other than sin is calling God a liar and the truth is not in you.

Sin John I 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

4. Thoughts In 2 Peter - Number Four - Stirrers In The Lord – Peter Is A Correct Stirrer - 2 Peter 3:1-2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 11, 2026

The perceptive preacher will challenge with the same scriptures BY WHICH HE HIMSELF IS STIRRED UP, otherwise preaching has become a farce and is empty. A man can not preach a word to touch others if he, himself, has not been touched initially by the word he preaches.

Accept No Substitutes Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 13, 2004
