    Deeds; Not Doctrine

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Jan 27, 2015
     | 4,469 views

    It is not our doctrine that reaches people or brings them to God. No matter how pure or right your doctrine is. What brings people to Christ is what they see in you.

    Deeds, Not Doctrine 1 Timothy 5:23 A famous evangelist was holding a Crusade in a certain town. One afternoon, before the evening services, he decided to take a drive around the town. He wanted to see the town, get a feel for the people and needed to mail a letter at the post office. He borrowed ...read more

    James 4:1-6 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, ...read more

    The Helmet Of Salvation Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 16, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,123 views

    The helmet is a metaphor for protecting the mind. The Apostle Paul wants us to guard our thoughts. If the devil can tamper with our thoughts, he can meddle with our lives. How we perceive Christ and His teachings affects all of life.

    While conducting a raid in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan, a US Marine platoon received incoming sniper fire. One of the Marines was struck in the head and the bullet bounced off his Kevlar helmet. He assured his fellow Marines he was unhurt except for some ringing in his ears, and they ...read more

     | 459 views

    David’s anointing in 1 Samuel 16 teaches us that God’s standards are not the same as man’s. He chooses the humble, the hidden, the faithful, and the pure in heart.

    Fixed With Gold

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jan 16, 2022
     | 4,094 views

    This thought is a work in progress. I have been meditating on how the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold displays the gospel. I'm sure I will preach this thought again and better.

    Fixed With Gold In our home there are a few dishes that are highly prized. They have value to us because of the giver. There are a couple of glasses that were gifts from my father-in-law to my mother-in-law. There are stories behind them. There is a candy dish Sister Burnett gave us recently. ...read more

    As It Is In Heaven

    Contributed by Scott Sutton on Aug 14, 2022
     | 4,584 views

    Reading the Lord’s Prayer recently, I thought about something that it says in a way that I had never thought about before. It says in verse #10 “...Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

    Then it occurred to me, if we are to do God's will on Earth then we must know what is going on in heaven first! Because that was how Jesus was teaching His disciples to pray. So that means we also need to know what is happening in Heaven and how God’s will is being accomplished. The first ...read more

    The Pretentious Free Life Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 7, 2021
     | 1,667 views

    John wants all believers to know they have eternal life because they are precious in the sight of Jesus. He holds before us the key by which certainty becomes a faith response to all of life: Jesus Christ. John seeks to inspire Christians to cultivate greater intimacy with God.

    As we entered the COVID-19 crisis I envisioned Christians would support those in leadership positions, I cannot fathom the stress they have endured. I never envisioned the conflict we have witnessed, among Christians and churches. As seen on Facebook, many Christians become antagonistic toward ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 27, 2022
     | 1,573 views

    Paul shares his inner thoughts and heartfelt desire with the Thessalonians. His testimony was blameless as he laboured for the believers at Thessalonica, but he always encountered opposition. We look at walking with God.

    Alcohol And Christianity

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Aug 3, 2005
    based on 44 ratings
     | 4,823 views

    Alcohol and Christianity do not go together. If we are truly temples for Christ and we are to glorify God in all we do, we should remain clean and pure.

    Alcohol and Christianity Several scriptures encourage us to stay away from alcohol. It doesn’t actually forbid everyone from drinking alcoholic beverages. Old Testament Leviticus 10:9 Numbers 6:3 Deuteronomy 14:26; 29:6 Judges 13:4.7,14 1 Samuel 1:15 Proverbs 20:1; 31:4,6 Isaiah 5:11,22; 24:9; ...read more
