    Can We Pass The Test?

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Nov 9, 2001
    based on 354 ratings
     | 38,890 views

    I wonder how we would score if there were a test available that could reveal just how faithful & devout a Christian we really are - that really measured the level of our spirituality?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. Not long ago I preached a sermon entitled “The Love Test” in which we mentioned that passage of scripture where Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Do you love me? Do you really love me?” And we talked about that subject. Now today, let’s go a ...read more

    Eleventh Hour Peace

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 11, 2001
    based on 25 ratings
     | 7,806 views

    Peace seems so elusive; the armistice signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month was not permanent, and now we are dealing with the 11th of September. But we are never more near deliverance than when our troubles deepen, and we can wait ac

    Peace! What an elusive thing peace is! Most of the time, we don’t have peace. And when we get it, we cannot keep it. Peace is hard to come by and even harder to keep. In a railway carriage in the forest of Compiegne, in France, gathered representatives of imperial Germany and of the allied ...read more

    based on 157 ratings
     | 17,675 views

    The Bible has a lot to say about love. But so does the world. The problem is that the world doesn’t say the same thing the Bible says, & we tend to get the two mixed up.

    MELVIN NEWLAND,MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX ILL. I like the story about a rather legalistic Seminary student who wanted to have a scriptural basis for everything he did. He felt he was on solid ground if he could quote Bible book, chapter & verse to ...read more

    Ties together Israel’s disobedience during the Exodus, people’s failure to recognize Jesus when he came, and our own obliviousness to the warning signs around us. Lesson: Hardships aren’t for punishnment, it’s to point us to God.

    Have any of you ever watched a movie or a TV show about a wagon train? You know, a column of Conestoga wagons, what they called prairie schooners, with the rounded canvas tent-tops? When I was young Westerns were the commonest sort of show, and everyone knew the conventions: The square-jawed ...read more

    Fellowship In The Gospel

    based on 70 ratings
     | 8,029 views

    Paul tells his firends at Philippi that they are partners with him in the Fellowship of the gospel as it is expressed in Thanksgiving, Prayer, Love and Service.

    FELLOWSHIP IN THE GOSPEL There’s a key phrase in the opening verses of Paul’s Letter to the Philippians: in verse 5 of the Authorised Version he refers to "Fellowship in the Gospel". I wonder what comes to mind on hearing these words? Money isn’t the only thing that can be devalued. Words, too, ...read more

These verses from Luke have even entered the popular culture, through Linus’ famous speech in the Charlie Brown Christmas video.
