Lessons In Apologetics #8: Atheism

If the Christian has no assurance that God will triumph from the way the world appears to be going, one would be better off hedging one’s bets by siding with the Devil or sitting the whole thing out all together.

God Is Light, God Is Love, & God Is Life Series

Contributed by Melvin Amos on Aug 20, 2011

In this series I am going to attempt to teach who God really is. Christians, and those in the world get this view of who they think God is, yet it does not quite show the whole image of who God is.

Who is God? Most people today begin to form their own personal opinion on what they think God is like or what He should be like. This, my friends, is the beginning of idoltry. We all have done it. We say, "well if God is so loving, why is there so much cruelty in the world?" Let’s not make ...read more

Jesus Christ: Our Model Of Suffering

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 20, 2022

In the eighteenth chapter of John's gospel, we are presented with the beginnings of the sufferings that the Lord Jesus would undergo for the sake of our redemption, paying a debt He did not owe for fallen humanity who could never pay it.

Several years ago, I came across a televangelist who peddled the ungodly "word-of-faith", or "prosperity" gospel that is poisoning the body of Christ in these last days. One of the "sales pitches" (and that is the only means by which I can define it) these folks ...read more

Sermon On The Power Of Prayer

Prayer is defined as: A solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or another deity.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux, a French Catholic Discalced Carmelite nun once remarked: “Prayer is a surge of the heart, it is a simple look turned toward heaven.

Passing Through

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jun 5, 2022

Today we look at another Deacon who never identifies himself as a Deacon; We must consider this Evangelist who never identifies himself as a Preacher; the bible says of him only that he was filled with the Holy Ghost and today that he is just passing through!
