Spiritual Warfare: Not Having Enough Power

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 29, 2021

The nine disciples had insufficient power to deliver the boy who had a spirit. I believe that many Christians would also fail this test. Why? We need a bigger connection to the Holy Spirit by prayer and fasting.

Love Or Cosmetology? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Valentine's Day: If church members do Christian things like feed the homeless or go on mission trips, and these acts are done without love, then people are just wasting their time. Without love, God doesn’t care what we do for Him.

Neil Postman writes in his book Amusing Ourselves to Death, “that we have reached the point where cosmetics has replaced ideology [or “practice”] as [a] field of expertise.”(1) The verb “cosmeticize” means, “to make something unpleasant or ugly superficially attractive.”(2) It’s common for people ...read more

Treasure God's Word

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 29, 2025

God’s word has power to change and transform our lives and all of our situations. The question is, “Do we treasure God’s Word?” May we ask God to open our eyes so we can see the wondrous truths hidden in it and will choose to walk in total obedience to God and His Word.

The Idols That Make Us Idle

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 20, 2025

It is not unusual to hear a teenager or adults these days say, I AM BORED!!! The word “Bored” originates from the verb “bore”, which means to pierce or drill. The term has evolved over time to describe a feeling of emptiness or lack of interest, often associated with a dull life.

God did not put us here to live a life of boredom!!! The Word of God tells us Eccl.9:10, Whatsoever Thy Hands Findeth to do, do it with all thy might. Reading that verse of scripture does not describe a life of boredom. Illus: Isaac Watts said: Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to ...read more
