Follow Me (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022

Paul loved the Philippian people, and he was greatly concerned about them. He told them, "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample."

WHY DID PAUL TELL THEM TO FOLLOW HIM? If anyone had examined the life of the apostle Paul, they would have discovered that he was following the Lord Jesus. Paul was giving them a PHYSICAL EXAMPLE or MODEL of what it is to follow Jesus. Someone very wisely said, "Don't follow any leader ...read more

The Paradox Of Money Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul says the love of money is the root of all evil, and Mark Twain said, the lack of money is the root of all evil. The one does not eliminate the other, for Twain's remark compliments Paul's.

Someone said, life is an everlasting struggle to keep money coming in, and teeth, hair, and vital organs from coming out. Few have known this better than General Ulysses S. Grant. He led the armies of the North to victory in the Civil War, and was twice elected president of the United States. He ...read more

Sin is so powerful, even in the Christian life, because it is so easy to miss the mark of God's high calling. It is the most foolish attitude a Christian can have to think that he could not fall into sin.

I was talking to a man who is a member of the Holiness Church. He said his church was a split off from the Free Methodist Church. When I expressed my surprise by saying that I thought the Free Methodist were a very fundamental group, he responded by saying, "Yes, but what was sin 50 ...read more

Apocalypse Of The Church

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jan 25, 2022

The apocalypse described in Mark's Gospel can be viewed as a prophecy that can occur today! Churches need to stop the bleeding loss of membership before it is too late. Christ's love will make that change.

Your Easter Story

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jul 18, 2014

The original ending of Mark's Gospel a first glance seems to inspire little hope; but a closer look reveals how the Risen Lord meets us in the ordinary circumstances of life and invites us to finish the story of His resurrection.

The little boy was not exactly happy about going to church on Easter Sunday morning. His new shoes were to tight, his tie pinched his neck and the weather outside was just too beautiful to be cooped up inside...so as he sulked in the pew his parents heard him mutter to no one in particular.
