Be Present Among The Lost Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Some believers insist on keeping a safe distance from the lost, afraid of being contaminated by their behavior or being seen as guilty by association; and so they fail to share their faith with the ones who actually need their help.

It is my desire to preach on real issues that we deal with as believers, so here’s a real observation to start off with: Some believers act like once they have received God’s forgiveness and been saved from their sins by the blood of Jesus Christ that they’re somehow better than the lost. However, ...read more

Job 1

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 29, 2019

Job 1: Job's first test. Do we devote ourselves to God because He gives us blessings, or does He give us blessings because we devote ourselves to Him?
