The Anointing Of Multiplication

Contributed by Troy Campbell on Oct 5, 2011

In John 10:10, this kind of life is referred to in the Greek as zoe life. Zoe life is life on a higher dimension. It is eternal, victorious, powerful and rich. To have the God-kind of life, you must abide in the anointing. Learning to utilize the anoi

Keep Watch For Christ’s Coming

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Dec 1, 2013

Keep Watch for Christ’s Coming 1) Watch against unbelief; 2) Watch against indifference

Keeping watch may be boring but it pays well. In 2010 world security service income, money earned by security guards and security systems, exceeded $174 billion (MarketLine). For comparison’s sake, $66 billion worth of diamonds were sold that same year. It seems that you can make more ...read more

A RIGHTEOUS MAN IN A SINFUL WORLD 2 Cor 6:14-18 Gen 39:1-7 One of the biggest challenges that face believers these days is how to stay righteous in a very sinful world.

God Sees All And Knows All, Especially Our Hunger

Contributed by Craig Condon on May 21, 2015

It is better for us to confess our sins before we are forced to do so by getting caught. When we do, the burden of guilt will not be able to limit our spiritual growth and our worship and prayers will not be hindered.

There is a program on the Investigation Discovery Channel called “I Almost Got Away with It”. The story of David and Bathsheba would be a perfect one for that show, especially the part where the prophet Nathan confronts David. David thought that he had committed the perfect crime by ...read more

Preach For Free? Must Be Crazy!

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 24, 2017

People say preachers are in it for the money, but if one comes just ready to preach for free they think you are nuts. Where's the win-win? ;-)

Ever since I have been saved, I have heard that "Preachers are only in it for the money." My first pastor was driving a twelve-year-old car, raising four kids on a salary that was equal to what my father-in-law was paying in weekly taxes. Admittedly, when you look at the lifestyles of ...read more

The Greatest Blessing For Our Family

Contributed by Robert Webb on Jun 30, 2018

Our children need to realize they have great potential and value. We must love our children for who they are and that is exactly the way God shows his love for us.

I suppose every parent here today can relate to the question, at some point, what does the future hold for my child? In fact most parents worry about it more than our children do. It’s kind of like the story of the father that came home one day and found out his child had been watching TV all day ...read more

A Good Kind Of Debt

Paul, like Jesus, tells us to love everyone, even those who irritate us. We should practice love in action because 1) God tells us to do so, and 2) Jesus is coming soon.
