He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 9

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

The book of Acts is one of the most exciting books of the Bible.

For example, in Acts 16 we see Paul and Barnabas placed in prison. Notice, in verses 20b - 21, what they were charged with - "...These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, and teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans." Paul and ...read more

Where Is The Lord God Of Elijah (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

As I read through this passage, it appears that Elijah is testing Elisha.

Look at verse 2. He said to Elisha, “...Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el...” But notice Elisha’s response in that same verse, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...” Then look at verse 4. Elijah seems to test Elisha again. He ...read more

God Can Do Anything Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 4, 2022

God can do anything when we give him everything.

This week I came across a rare photo of a TV remote control from the 60’s and 70’s. This brought back memories of some of my favorite after-school TV shows like Hogan’s Heroes, Lost in Space, the Beverly Hillbillies, and Gilligan’s Island. Interestingly, each of these classic shows dealt with ...read more

David’s 911 Call For Help (1 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

Psalm 35 is another of David’s imprecatory prayers.

In it David appeals to a righteous God to send judgment upon the enemies of God, and the persecutors of His righteous people. WHY DID DAVID PRAY SUCH A PRAYER? It is believed that since Old Testament characters did not have the benefit of the New Testament, they did not have a complete revelation ...read more

The Reluctant Prophet 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

In Exodus, chapter 3, when God called Moses to do something great for Him, how did Moses respond? He was very reluctant!

Look at Exodus 3:1-9, we read, “Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: ...read more

She Hath Chosen The Good Part

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 25, 2022

A famous actor was invited to a dinner party. After the main course, the actor was asked if he would be willing to recite a piece of poetry for the guests.

The actor readily agreed and asked if someone at the dinner table would like to suggest what he should recite. There was a deadly hush until an old clergyman raised his hand and said: “May I ask you to recite the 23rd Psalm?” The actor was rather taken back but agreed, saying: “I will recite Psalm ...read more

Jacob-The "Dinah Jacobs” Story Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 28, 2022

Jacob's daughter Dinah is only mentioned in a few places in Scripture. This story shows how one decision can lead to a whole lot of problems.

Introduction: Remember the old TV Western, “Wagon Train’? Every episode was called “the So-and-So story”, featuring one character who had some kind of impact or another on the wagon train’s journey to California or wherever. Sometimes the “guest” would impact one of the train’s leaders, too—but ...read more

In God We Trust

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

“Do not be anxious” about what you will eat and drink. “Do not be anxious” about what you will wear. “Do not be anxious” about tomorrow

It’s so appropriate that all our money has the motto, “In God We Trust.” To understand why it’s there, you have to go all the way back to the Civil War when a Pennsylvania pastor requested the Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, place a Christian motto on our currency. Because of this ...read more
