Blessing In Church Closure

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 20, 2020

Sometimes we should rejoice in the death of a church rather than mourn. After a long painful disease, we express relief when a person passes into Glory. Many churches suffer a slow and painful death. Out of that death life and renewal may come.

Revelation 2:4  Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.  5  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except ...read more

God Can Help You Finish The Race Series

Contributed by James Ledbetter on Jul 23, 2019

Oftentimes, when we see the road ahead getting rough, we want to give up and quit. God never promised us a road of roses, but he did promise us a way to victory.

When we are told that we must finish the race, we get excited and push harder. However, when the road gets rough, we lose encouragement. We see the potholes and the winding road and want to give up. I can relate. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 shouts it plain and clear. When we come to the knowledge of ...read more

Scourge Of The Tongue

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 20, 2020

The tongue is a small weapon. It is a great mercy to be delivered from the tongue. The tongue was originally made to be an organ of God’s praise but it has now become an instrument of unrighteousness. The tongue inflicts greater wounds than the sword.

SCOURGE OF THE TONGUE Job 5:21 ---- "You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes." The tongue is a small weapon, but it is a cutting one; it is like a scourge ...read more

Genuine Love

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 7, 2020

Another song of agape love.

GENUINE LOVE. Romans 12:9-13. In Greek, the first clause of Romans 12:9 has no verb, so could literally be rendered “love without hypocrisy” or “love unfeigned”. From this, I have taken ‘Genuine Love’ as a title for this section. The second clause talks about evil and good, forming a kind of ...read more

A Bunch Of Losers! Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 23, 2017
