    It’s become fashionable for churches to "target" a specific audience in their messages and ministry. But is that really such a good idea? Is it possible that in targeting specific groups we might be undermining our real ministry?

    based on 19 ratings
     | 23,994 views

    The world paints those who oppose immoral sex as being prudes and bigots. It's hard to withstand the humiliation and embarrassment that we can face when we speak up. So why should we? And how should we stand for morality in a faithless world?

    Years ago I heard a famous radio preacher tell of an experience he had while doing a seminar in a large city. After he had gotten done speaking he returned to his hotel, got on the elevator, and as he touched the button of his floor, a couple of very attractive women got on with him. "What ...read more

     | 1,040 views

    Governments and rulers and institutions and people have turned away from God. Why is that we might wonder? Has the message been passed from one generation to another? Have the churches been faithful in relaying the gospel, or has Christianity become something infused into the culture?

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 27, 2023
     | 1,805 views

    It is not up to human beings to decide what is right or wrong. The pendulum of the gravity of sin lies with God alone. He is the moral compass of right and wrong. Once a nation adopts homosexuality and legislates in its favour, the downward spiral has hit rock bottom.

WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL WITH HOMOSEXUALITY? – Romans Message 4 This message in Romans continues from last time where we looked at the path man has taken away from God and it goes down and down.

    based on 7 ratings
     | 50,562 views

    There's part of this story of the fiery furnace that I'd always missed. There was one question upon which everything else hinged - not only in this story but also in our lives. Do you know what that question is?

    When my sister Barbranne was in her early 20’s she left the Church and Jesus behind and went off to live the “wild life.” At age 55 she decided she’d hurt herself in that decision and started going back to church.
