    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 13, 2016
     | 7,733 views

    Christians must distinguish between love and lust. The message is a study of a young man who failed to distinguish between love and lust, bringing great sorrow upon the nation and ultimately condemning himself to a violent death.

     | 4,750 views

And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds. They shall eat, ...read more

If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? And if the bugle ...read more

    When You Look At God, Who Do You See?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 13, 2020
     | 8,010 views

    Our view of God depends upon our perspective. Sinners see God as vengeful; saints see God as a refuge. Thus, our relationship to God determines how we view Him.

    “The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and wrathful; the LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies. The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the ...read more

    A call for purity in marriage for Christians.

    “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” [1] Marriage is under assault in this day.
