How do we posture ourselves for Revival? This message draws upon the Beatitudes for answers to that question.

"but Is It In The Bible?"

Contributed by David Nolte on Jul 6, 2022

Many people teach and practice things that are not in the Bible. Here is a sample of my book, "But Is It In The Bible?"

At the outset, let me assure the reader that I believe that we are saved by grace through faith. We do not earn, merit, or work for salvation. It is a free gift, paid for and delivered by Jesus. But it is appropriated by faith. Faith is always more than mere head stuff. It is more than assent to ...read more

Contributed by Stan Lobin on Oct 26, 2022

An examination of the Jesus parable of the prayers of the Pharisee and the tax collector and Christians who respond look and react to our others harshly with gossip and other negative that defy God's commandment to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
