Jesus Questioned About Paying Taxes Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Sep 25, 2023

So knowing that the U.S. government apparently is somewhat reckless in how it spends money, should we still pay our taxes faithfully? Or should we try to get around our taxes?

In the year 2022, according to the CBO, the United States government raised 4.9 trillion dollars in tax income. About half came from individual income taxes. It’s a massive amount of money that we’re talking about, but despite that, the U.S. government is currently 33.1 trillion dollars in debt, ...read more

Called To Order, Called To Joy

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Oct 13, 2023

The most important way that joy becomes strength is by knowing who we are, and whose we are, and why we are.

Why did they weep? Why did the people of Jerusalem grieve when Ezra read the word of God to them? The people of Jerusalem had just achieved a major victory: rebuilding the wall around the city which had been destroyed during their seventy years of captivity in Babylon. They had foiled their ...read more

Isn’t It Grand? Grandparents Day!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022

Many churches observe Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, but very seldom mention anything about Grandparents Day.

This is a very serious mistake, because in some ways, grandparents are as important as fathers and mothers to a child. Paul wrote to Timothy and he mentioned his grandmother. Look at 2 Timothy 1:5, we read, “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy ...read more

Unstoppable

Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 29, 2022

OBEYING GOD’S WILL IN YOUR LIFE, DOES NOT GUARANTEE A STRESS-FREE, HASSLE-FREE AND TROUBLE-FREE LIFE; ON THE CONTRARY, IT CAN BE UNEASY, TURBULENT AND UNCOMFORTABLE; HOWEVER, GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.”

Honor Your Mother

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on May 8, 2022

We should shower Mother with gifts, for indeed she needs to be reminded of our love and gratitude for all she has done. My chief concern is that this gift-giving should not be put down to just one day a year.

Honor your Mother Give her fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31:31 Johnny was complaining to his friend about how hectic his days were because of school. "I get up at 6 o’clock each morning and eat my breakfast," he said. The friend was ...read more

Grandparents Day!

Most churches observe Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, but very seldom mention anything about Grandparents day. But in some ways, Grandparents Day is as important as Father’s day and Mother’s day.

There are many husbands and wives who are dissatisfied with each other and often wish that they had married someone else. Sometimes they may be married for many long years and still will in conflict say that they had made a wrong choice.

We read in Psalm 91:16, “You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!” (TPT) As we continue our study on the last verse of Psalm 91, we understand that the promise of God to one who has made Him his refuge, is that He will ...read more

Spiritual Ingredients

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

We all have had the similar experience of having our taste buds seduced by a delicious meal.

But the moment we took one bite of that delicious food, we immediately knew that one of the main components that would have made this dish taste so good, such as salt or pepper, was missing. There are some ingredients that can be left out of a dish or a drink, and no harm is done, but then there ...read more

He’s All Around Me 1 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

A lot of folks think the Christian life is like the game children like to play, called “Hide and Seek”.

Even older teens sometimes enjoy playing this game. But in all fairness, sometimes they cheat when they play it. Illus: For example, did you hear about the teenage girl that said to her boy friend, “Let’s play Hide and Seek.” • He said, “How do you play it?” • She said “It is simple. I will ...read more
