Whose Report Will You Believe--The Resurrection

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Apr 9, 2021

The Mouth And The Heart

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 22, 2022

If God were to ask, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would your answer be? This is at least one place in scripture that you can go for an answer. There are others that are just as important. But today lets examine what is involved with the mouth and the heart.

Consider Your Ways

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

I would like us to focus in on verse 7. We read, "Thus saith the lord of hosts; CONSIDER YOUR WAYS."

The prophet Haggai had a message from God that he was to give unto the people of God. Notice, he wanted them to know how important this message was by introducing the message by saying, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts…” before he gave the message. In other words, he wanted them to know what he was ...read more

The Book Of Joshua 4 Of 9

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022

When a cowboy applied for health insurance, the insurance agent routinely asked if he had any accidents during the previous year. The cowboy replied, “No. But I was bitten by a rattlesnake, and a horse kicked me in the ribs.

That laid me up for a while.” The agent said, “Weren’t those accidents?” “No,” replied the cowboy, “They did it on purpose.” I believe God’s people should have the same attitude about things in their lives. We have too many Christians today, walking around talking like something happened by ...read more

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

Someone said, "Most men blame all accidents on fate - but feels personal responsibility when he makes a hole-in-one on the golf course."

It is absolutely amazing how and when we use that word, "responsibility." Illus: That word used to be used when a child was attending school. On one side of the report card all the grades for the subjects, such as math, English, science and social studies were listed so you could tell ...read more

The Mighty Name Of Jesus Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Nov 18, 2021

The name of Jesus is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare; however, His name must not be taken lightly or used inappropriately. Also, Jesus promised to be present in power among His followers whenever they acted in His name.

When we speak the precious and powerful name of Jesus, it’s not a magic word. We must be wholly submitted to Jesus to use it. - Dean Sherman(1) The name of Jesus is the most powerful weapon in spiritual warfare. Jesus is the Word (Jn 1:1, 14), and by the Word and through His holy name “the ...read more
