The Making Of A Deacon Part 2 Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 12, 2019

When looking at the qualifications for a deacon we see that these are things that all Christians should aspire to.

Just Jesus

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jun 14, 2012

Unless The Lord Builds The House

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 22, 2017

God building our house and guarding us sounds strictly providential, but God’s involvement is ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON OUR COOPERATION WITH HIM; they are blessings outflowing from our abiding and obedience.

I heard about a man who picked up a homeless man and took him to Denney’s for breakfast. While eating the man asked him how he ended up this way. 3. He said, "Up until ...read more

Are You An Altar Builder?

Where Are The Privates?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 12, 2021

The glitter of the "General's" stars are blinding others from seeing their place in the kingdom.

Sloth Series

Contributed by Aneel Aranha on Jan 20, 2021

Sloth is a sluggishness of soul or boredom because of the exertion necessary for the performance of a good work. Are we guilty of it?

In the rain forests of Central and South America dwells a small ugly looking mammal called a sloth. This little creature is so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. When it moves—which is rarely, since it spends 20 hours a day sleeping—it travels at a top speed of 0.15 mph. When we think ...read more

Good News And A Warning

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 10, 2021

Jesus will come again and establish his kingdom. Great news! But when he does, 'one will be taken and the other left.' It's a sombre warning. For one group, the result is death. We need to understand this message to understand why Jesus had to go the cross.

We’re following Jesus and his disciples on their journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. As Jesus travelled, he taught about ‘the kingdom of God.’ But the Pharisees don’t see much sign of it. So they ask Jesus when it will come. It’s a sensible question! Jesus tells them that the kingdom of God ...read more

Providence In American History Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

We celebrate the 4th of July for the same reason the Jews celebrate Purim. It is a day to look back and see the providence of God in our history.

Great leaders are often providentially preserved from what ought to have been certain death. This happens before they rise to a level where they are a blessing to many people. In the history of the Jews, Mordecai is one of these leaders. He came within minutes of being hung on a gallows, and ...read more
