    Preaching From Philippians #2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 1,376 views

    One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

    These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians. For example, there are many ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Lost Sheep And The Lost Coin) # 10

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 2,411 views

    This parable is special, because it tells us a great deal about God the Father’s great love for mankind.

    Now we mortals love certain people, but if there are things in their life that we do not like, we generally brush them aside. We all can be thankful indeed that God the Father loves everyone, He even loves the most ungodly sinner on the face of the earth. He does not love their evil deeds, but He ...read more

    Topic: The Good And Faithful Servant By Ptr Arsenio “Jack” Segismundo Text: John 12:26 “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.” Introduction: Many people say that they are too busy to serve God ...read more

    The Church

    In the year 2002, the Catholic church has come under fire by the news media because of the corruption in the Catholic priesthood.

    Those who have studied the history of this church have known something about this corruption for many years. For example, some of the problems today we are hearing about are: (1) THE HOMOSEXUAL PROBLEM IN THE PRIESTHOOD On the Fox News Channel, on “The Factor,” they reported that about 50% of ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From First John (1 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 2,102 views

    1 John is called one of the “General Epistles,” because it was not sent to a specific church. Rather, it was sent to churches in general.

    The three books of John are referred to as “letters, however, the first was not written in the form of a letter. For example, it has no salutation nor conclusion. In fact, it has all the characteristics of a sermon in which a pastor is revealing his love for God’s people. To have a good ...read more

    Many people do not like the way they look. Because of this, the plastic surgeons are doing a tremendous amount of business.

    In fact, there is so much plastic surgery taking place these days, we are often warned that if you are going to have this surgery, make sure that you get a qualified plastic surgeon to do the surgery. There are some quacks out there who do this kind of surgery, and when they are finished with you, ...read more

    My Hope Is Built On…

    Many times folks will go to the doctor because they know something is wrong, but they do not know what the problem is.

    So they make an appointment with the doctor, and the first thing the doctor asks them is, “What’s wrong?” The reason they made an appointment to visit his office was to find out what was wrong, and here he is, asking them what is wrong. Illus: A man told his doctor that he did not know what was ...read more

    God Demands Complete Obedience

    God has given us different talents because God has different jobs for each of us to do.

    Most of us understand that, but what many do not seem to understand is what God has called them to do and equipped them to do, HE EXPECTS THEM TO DO! Our desire should be as Christ's. He said in John 4:34, "...My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." ...read more

    This is a special day set aside to honor our mothers, and grandmothers, because we love them so deeply.

    Often a mother’s assignment in life is very difficult. Now if anything negative can be said about mothers, it would be about the names they give their children. I personally think they should pass a law that allows a child that reaches the age of 10 or 12, to have a chance to select the name that ...read more

    A college boy was explaining the reason he flunked out in college was because he had a clinker in his thinker.

    Did you know that about ninety-nine-and-nine-tenths of the problems that confront people is because they have that same problem--they have a clinker in their thinkers? We laugh this off as not being important, but God sees the way people think as being very important. Illus: We see this in the ...read more

    There are people who attend football games because that stuff is real to them. They eat, sleep, breathe, and live for football!

    There are others who attend football games and you wonder why they are there. Probably it is: • Because someone invited them to attend • Because they were bored and had nothing better to do • Because some like to be part of large crowd Illus: Did you hear they have new postage stamps depicting the ...read more
