Godliness Over Gain

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 18, 2025

You want a deeper walk with Jesus? That will mean persecution, not prosperity. It may mean sacrifice of health to walk in holiness. Remember, He was rejected and crucified. Apostles often lived in jail or the open field, not mansions.

Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Revelation 1: A Declaration Of Praise And Promise

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 16, 2023

The opening chapter of the book of Revelation shows that in what seems to be the darkest and most hopeless periods of history, the Lord Jesus Christ is still Lord and King over HIs creation, and that all things will be made new.

If the book of Revelation had just this one chapter, it is enough for us to give praise and glory to God. He shows not just the apostle John but all of us that He is in charge of the affairs of His creation. No mere created being, whether it be mortal humanity or malevolent demon, will ever have ...read more

Healing The Hurts In Families

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jun 4, 2001

Healing the relationships in our homes involves 1. Honest confession. 2. A willingness to stop the things that hurt the other person. 3. Opening our hearts to them once again and allowing them to come in.

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Feb 9, 2003
