Contributed by Aneel Aranha on Jan 20, 2021

Sloth is a sluggishness of soul or boredom because of the exertion necessary for the performance of a good work. Are we guilty of it?

In the rain forests of Central and South America dwells a small ugly looking mammal called a sloth. This little creature is so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. When it moves—which is rarely, since it spends 20 hours a day sleeping—it travels at a top speed of 0.15 mph. When we think ...read more

The Right Path Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 8, 2020

Psalm 1:1-6 shows us the path of blessing and fulfillment in life.

Scripture I came across a poem that I believe is titled, “Don’t Grieve for Me.” It reads as follows: When I’ve been to my last service, / And fades softly on the air, / The notes of the last song for me, / And then the final prayer. When friends arise and slowly walk / Down the long church ...read more

What The Bible Teaches About Separation

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 25, 2022

The doctrine that is laid down in this passage of scripture is one you seldom hear preached about in our day.

Look at verse 12, which tells us what Jesus did for His disciples while He was here.

Neither Give Place To The Devil

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 31, 2022

Someone has said, "Any man who has to ask for advice probably is not married."

Actually, when it comes to advice, someone made this wise statement, "Advice is never appreciated. If it turns out well, the recipient thinks it was his own idea; and if it turns out badly, he eternally blames you." Still, we should never be afraid of receiving good advice. The Bible ...read more

From The Worst To The Best Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Paul tells us in verses 13 and 14 that he was always a very religious man, and he was zealous in his commitment to Judaism. Paul becomes a great example of both the danger and value of being religious.

Mary Marrow had just arrived in China as a missionary when the Boxer Rebellion broke out in 1900.

A Good Question Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Paul says, let freedom prevail, and suppress no aspect of the truth, and let each be persuaded in his own mind. This, of course, means that some will be persuaded one way and others another way, and so there will never be full agreement.

A crystal gazer collected 25 dollars for a reading and told the visitor, "This entitles you to ask me two questions. Isn't that a lot of money for only two questions?" Asked the startled woman. "Yes it is," answered the fortune teller. "Now what is your second ...read more

I Have A Plan!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 11, 2021

It would not be an exaggeration, but an understatement to say God has already prearranged 1,000’s of events, waiting to happen in your life to increase you, to promote you and to bless you.

Where Are The Privates?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 12, 2021

The glitter of the "General's" stars are blinding others from seeing their place in the kingdom.

In this generation everyone wants to be a general in God’s army. Prophecies abound that tell people they will be rich and finance the Kingdom. They will have a worldwide dynamic ministry.

Train Your Conscience - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 22, 2021

The Lord warns us that our eyes should be trained to be pure. Many are struggling with the sins of the eyes, because while there is much restriction as to what one can do with their hands and legs, there is no restraint set as to what one can do with their eyes.

Train your conscience - Part 2 In the past few chapters, we have delved deep into the subject of our conscience. To summarize briefly, we understand that our conscience is placed inside of us by God Himself, it is God’s gift to us, which serves as our internal audit to help us be aware of what is ...read more
