Who Is On The Lord's Side?

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Apr 18, 2022

To take the Lord's side is not a small issue. To take the Lord's side, puts you at oughts with the world. No man can serve two masters.

One of the greatest benefits of preaching the Word of God is, if I say what he says, I'm never wrong. Dr. Mike Murdock says... I'm never wrong when I quote God. In the last few days there's been a phrase that has been going over in my mind. I'm very well aware of where it came from. ...read more

Stand Down, Or Stand Up!

Contributed by Norman Lawrence on Jan 14, 2013

I believe today that America and the Church in America is at a Crossroad, and it is up to each and every one of us here to decide whether it’s time to “stand down” or “stand up”! I believe it’s time to stand up!

The past couple weeks, I have heard a term more and more that to be quite honest with you, as a person who has not served a day in the military, hadn’t heard the term, and even when I did, I was a bit unsure what it meant.

Thank God For Rights Series

What’s the fuss about? If it’s just a novel that Hollywood turned into a movie, nobody’s going to Hell over it -- are they? ARE THEY?

Most of the time on Sunday mornings I “teach” through a sermon. Today I will preach this sermon. Teaching is an indirect way to your heart through your head.

True Repentance

Contributed by Denise Raterta on Oct 14, 2009

Backsliding itself is of course horrendous. But it gets doubly shameful and we’ll end up dishonoring God even more when we repent without fully knowing exactly how we have offended God.

Seeing and hearing the reactions of different people in the midst of the recent calamities in the world, I find myself grieving because most of us, even the supposedly veteran believers, do not fully understand and recognize God’s clear message behind the events. We just hear and do what we like to ...read more
