Have You Had Your Wheaties Today?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

For years we were brain-washed to believe that if we really wanted to be a champion, we had to eat a certain kind of cereal. It was later revealed that the card board containers that held these cereals, had more vitamins than the cereal itself.

Many had been misled by those television commercials with their popular endorsements. They had been told that if they would eat these cereals, they would one day be a champion. So many of the commercials today that we see, are deceiving and misleading. For example, they tell us that if we ...read more

Changing The Narrative

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Aug 15, 2019

The paralyzed man at the Bethesda pool needed a change, and Jesus could heal him! Jesus can change our lives, but we have to respond to him in faith.

Apostolic Intolerance Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

If pride and a sense of exclusiveness and spiritual privilege could lead the Apostles to go wrong, it is not only likely, but inevitable that the same will be true of all of us.

It is not intolerant to expose an oppose error. If a newspaper prints an article naming you as a spokesman for the Ku Kulx Klan it would not be intolerant for you to write them and tell them of their error. Likewise, if a man preaches that God’s Word teaches a man can be saved by works, it is not ...read more

Spiritual Life Of King Josiah

Contributed by Samuel M on Dec 27, 2023

A priest did not weep, nor did a Levite weep, nor did a scribe weep, nor did the king's servant weep, but a tender-hearted king tore his clothing and wept when he heard the words of the law.

Thus it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes. 20 Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, 21 “Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left ...read more
