We Believe The Bible Series

Staying The Course Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

We might presently feel like we’ve been fighting for our Promised Land a long time. Fighting will wear us out and lead to discouragement. Battle is not a pretty sight, and as we tire of spiritual confrontation, we might be tempted to give up.

Last week we saw how becoming tired of incessant battle can lead to becoming impatient and attempting to rush what God is wanting to do in His way and His timing. It can also lead a person to feeling defeated and abandoning the fight. David boldly declared in Psalm 119, “I will run the course of ...read more

Demands Of Discipleship

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Feb 17, 2008

Are we just followers, or true disciples, of Jesus? There is a difference! If we are a true disciple, then we have rewards in heaven. If we are just followers, we may not. Let us learn about the demands of discipleship.

Someone was talking to a great scholar about a younger man. He said, “So and so tells me that he was ...read more
