    God Calling- Answer The Phone

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Apr 16, 2013
     | 11,181 views

    God calls us in many ways and we need to listen for His voice.

    Listen...to your life... and you'll hear the BAT QOL- the voice of God. You will hear our Lord's voice, comforting, challenging, and calling you to lose yourself in the Master's service. Indeed, unless we "leave our nets" and follow Him, it's hard to see how we can call ourselves Christian. ...read more

    There is constant spiritual conflict. There are spiritual foes that fight with untruth, half-truth, distraction, division, apathy, etc. In the challenge and conflict we face there is a loud and clear voice of God telling us of the ultimate reality. We

    A Litmus Test Of Spiritual Well-Beng

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Mar 5, 2022
     | 1,487 views

    Using the analogy of a litmus test, this sermon juxtaposes the traits of arrogance over against the traits that reflect the DNA of love. It explores the inclusion of 1 Corinthians 13 sandwiched between chapters 12 and 14.

    “Litmus test” is a process used to determine the nature of something. In the 14th century scientists discovered that litmus, a mixture of colored organic compounds obtained from lichen, turns red in acid solutions and blue in alkaline solutions and, thus, can be used as an acid-base indicator. ...read more

    When The Veil Is Lifted

     | 401 views

    Moses was overwhelmed by the immorality and religious practices from Egypt brought from Egypt. He had met God who gave him the Ten Commandments to implement within the new culture. He had a Shekinah Glory experience--God on earth. The Light of God radiated in his face.

    This past Sunday our pastor was recovering from the flu. When I asked him how he was doing, he said he was about 70% recovered. He then shared this with the church. As he began to preach there appeared to be a sincere heartfelt message flowing from deep within. A middle-aged man always makes a ...read more

    There are four steps in healing broken or damaged relationships within the church body: always be gentle, always use caution, always evaluate yourself, and always have compassion.

    To establish that there are some things too impossible for God to do. One thing is: to show respect of persons. This lesson reminds all believers who practice such: are guilty of breaking the "Royal Law" of love and are condemned as sinners.

     | 6,807 views

    In this concluding article of this title series, I want to focus on the ministries that are prohibited and the ministries that women can and should pursue.

    In my previous article on this topic, I focused on how Christianity elevated the status and opportunities of women. I wrote about how Christian women, in the New Testament, have had (and, thus, still have) opportunities to labor for the Lord’s Church. However, I did mention in passing that ...read more
