Peace, Peace, God’s Wonderful Peace!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 22, 2025

Anxiety seems to be a problem today for both the saved and the unsaved. While we can understand it might be a problem with the unsaved, we have a difficult time understanding why it is a problem with the saved.

WHY IS ANXIETY SUCH A PROBLEM TODAY? Someone printed these words under a tranquil scene on a calendar: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday." We do spend a lot of time worrying about tomorrow. So many in our society insist on trying to carry the… • Burdens of the ...read more

Faithful Builders

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Aug 1, 2025

One would think that with Paul and Apollos being their foundation layer and builders, the church in Corinth would be near perfect. But here we are, reading about how imperfect they were.

Faithful Builders 1Cor 3:5-23 One of the things I love about Paul’s letters to the Corinthians is that we’re shown a church that was pretty messed up.

God Approved Sufferings

Contributed by Jedidiah Jedidiah on Aug 19, 2025
