The New Heaven And The New Earth

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 15, 2024

I do not doubt that many of these have received these visions and revelations they claim they have received, but knowing the life of some of these, I do doubt that these visions and revelations came from God. Some are quick to point out that many of the New Testament Saints had such visions. ...read more

The Message Of The Resurrection

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 21, 2022

When a preacher preaches on the gospel of Christ, he is not preaching on ONE of the most important messages of the Bible, He is preaching THE MOST IMPORTANT message of the Bible.

Amid The Flood

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 26, 2008

Dramatic monologue as if Martin Luther were the preacher, telling his own story. Time period is the Wartburg stay; focus is on hope and trust in a changing world, "amid the flood" of change.

I was not born for idleness, nor for solitude. I was born for action. I was destined by Him who holds in His ...read more
