    Whatever Happened To Holiness? Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Feb 7, 2022
     | 3,587 views

    Are we truly holy? or do we hang on to the contaminates of the world? All Scripture references are from the NASB95.

    Holiness and the very concept of holiness is something that is lost in today’s culture and in the church itself. The very concept of God and His holiness has dismissed. According to Dr Steve DeNeff, author of the book “The way of Holiness: Experiencing God’s Work in You,” he says: “So, as a ...read more

    In 1994, in Union, S. C., a twenty-three-year-old mother strapped her two young sons in their car seats and drove them into a lake and drowned them.

    Then she appeared before the national television news broadcasters and lied, saying a black man jumped into her car, made her get out, and drove off with her two sons. Later, when they found the car with the little boys in it, she confessed that she had done this horrendous thing herself. When it ...read more

    Let me ask you TWO questions:

    (1) WHY DOES GOD LOVE MANKIND? Why? Because the Bible says GOD IS LOVE! He can’t help Himself - GOD IS LOVE! (2) WHY DIDN’T GOD MAKE US AS ROBOTS AND CREATE US WHERE WE ALL WOULD HAVE TO LOVE HIM? Illus: Most of us, have seen some of these little doll babies that the toy companies make. As ...read more

    It is all too common for individuals in ministry to become overly focused on small and often menial tasks, and then forget to take time for the people around them; and ministry is supposed to be about people! Jesus was flexible.

    We live in a hectic and fast paced world. I’m sure that many of you have noticed just how busy life can be. I read an article entitled, “Goal Oriented or People Oriented,” and I want to share with you something it says.

    Here, the Israelites became distracted from their purpose by a desire for worldly gain. They sought a more luxurious existence, with the ease of someone else doing all the work, and they ran from battle and confrontation.

    In 1797 the governor of Louisiana granted Daniel Boone ten thousand acres of land in Missouri; however, he failed to make the trip to New Orleans to complete the title. He instead became distracted by an opportunity to be appointed chief of the district of St. Charles.(1) While he was ...read more

    Prayer is not merely a religious duty; it is a divine privilege. Through prayer, we commune with the Creator of the universe. Yet, how often do we approach God with hesitation, doubting whether He hears us or will answer our petitions?

    Go! And Pray with Confidence 1 John 5:14-15 (NLT): "And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for." Introduction: The Privilege of ...read more
