Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 18, 2021

Within the religions of the world, it is not uncommon to hear that the greatest thing to obtain is faith. Yet, the Great Commandment given by God in the Bible was not to have faith but rather, to love Him

"You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment." (Matt 22:37-39 NLT) Faith - in and of itself - is useless unless it is energized by God's love. This love command is the foundation of the ...read more

The Double Life Of King Asa

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 5, 2025

Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age. Even some preachers in their sermon preparation choose to preach out of the New Testament, because they feel that the New Testament is more applicable to today’s congregations.

For example, we are to learn from the examples of the lives of the characters in the Old Testament. Paul said in Romans 15:4, “For whatsoever things were ...read more
