    A follower of Christ walks in the truth of God’s Word each day. Additionally, John tells us that Christians show their faithfulness to the truth as they work together with fellow Christians for the truth.

     | 13,084 views

    We need to fight the Christian warfare with the armaments God has provided us, to use these skillfully, and to use these as a unit.

It has also been part of many Vacation Bible Schools. I can think of children donning plastic suits of armor or coloring the Christian ...read more

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Jacob Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 7/24/2016 Hearing your name called can evoke different responses depending on the circumstances. On the one hand, maybe you’re just getting off the plane after a long tour of duty, your eyes scanning all ...read more

    Hope

    Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on Dec 7, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 17,120 views

    In these times, many of us are losing hope. As children of God and brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, it is important to remember who we are and who loves us. All that we "need" will one day be given to us at the time we need it most.

    How many of you are losing hope? I suspect, with all that is happening in our world, probably quite a few. I must admit, there are times I feel the same way as you might today. I am only human and I do have my doubts about certain things. You’ve seen all the posts on Facebook and other social ...read more

    How Is God’s Word Like Rain And Snow?

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 1, 2022
     | 4,875 views

    “A lamp.” “A fire.” “A hammer.” “A sword.” “Spirit.” “Life.” “Truth.” “Seed.” “Milk.” “Solid food.” These are all descriptions of God's Word. Isaiah adds two more images to the list. Rain and snow.

    “A lamp.” “A fire.” “A hammer.” “A sword.” “Spirit.” “Life.” “Truth.” “Seed.” “Milk.” “Solid food.” What am I talking about? Throughout the Scriptures the Word of God is compared to different things. Each of those comparisons helps us better understand the power and purpose behind what ...read more
