Contributed by William Meakin on Aug 12, 2022

Tools are defined as a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function.

Steve Maraboli, an American author once remarked: “Accept yourself, your strengths, your weaknesses, your truths, and know what tools you have to fulfil your purpose.” Deuteronomy 19:5 confirms: “For instance, a man may go into the forest with his neighbour to cut wood, and as he swings his axe to ...read more

Being Read By The Word

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2023

Kierkegaard once said, "When you read God’s Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, ‘It is talking to me, and about me.’” Is the Word challenging you? Convicting you? Bringing your life into alignment with God?

BEING READ BY THE WORD Heb. 4:12-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: A LAWYER GOES TO HEAVEN 1. A lawyer dies and goes to Heaven. “There must be some mistake,” the lawyer argues. “I’m too young to die. I’m only fifty five.” 2. “Fifty five?” says Saint Peter. “No, according to our calculations, you’re ...read more

To Follow Or Not To Follow

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

Who do you follower? Two followers of Jesus could be discussing an issue that appears to be allowed in the Bible? An even larger question is what do you do when two pathways are before you??

The LORD gave us His Word as a guide for us to have a spotless life. There are so many rules and regulations that it is virtually impossible to live on Earth and not break a code here and there. The LORD established forgiveness into His system because He was aware that this would indeed happen. ...read more

Have You Got Milk?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

The words of the Bible are likened to milk, and they are as essential to our spiritual growth as milk is to the growth of the human body. If you desire physical life then drink cow’s milk. If you desire spiritual life then drink the milk of God’s Word.

I am sure the majority of you have watched the television commercials advertising milk with the catchy little slogan that says, “Got milk?” Maybe you recall the commercials of years gone by that said, “Milk, it does the body good.” What you can pick up from these slogans is that milk is good for ...read more

What Ever Happened To Hell?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Sometimes we hear about the “Endangered species” list. That is, there are certain kinds of birds, fish, animals, and insects that die and become few in numbers because of hunting or natural disasters.

When this happens, they are placed on the “Endangered Species” list so that they will not become extinct. Once they are placed on this list, everything that is imaginable is done to preserve them. This is good, because if they were not placed on this list, soon these birds, fish, insects and ...read more

Preach The Word -- Which One? 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Paul’s exhortation to Timothy was, “Preach the Word...” This same exhortation is given to pastors today.

However, if they are going to preach the Word of God today, they have to make a judgment as to which one of the many Bibles available is actually God’s Word. If all the translations, versions, revisions, and paraphrases taught the same thing, there would be no controversy, BUT THEY DO NOT! ...read more

Grace From Galatians (2 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

At the beginning of the Book of Galatians, we saw that Paul dealt with two problems.

(1) HE HAD TO DEFEND HIS APOSTLESHIP Those who hated Paul were stating that he was not a true apostle. Ministers go into the ministry for a number of reasons: • Some think it is an easy job, SO WHY NOT • Some folks enjoy being in front of people • Some are in the ministry because Mommy wanted a ...read more

Grace From Galatians (3 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

In chapter one, we find Paul defending his calling and the gospel which he preached. There were those who were saying that he was a self-proclaimed minister preaching a false gospel.

Because of the things that are being said about Paul, he says some things about himself that might seem to be bragging in his defense. Look at Galatians 1:13-24, we read, “For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church ...read more
