    The Concept Of Hell! Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 3, 2022
     | 1,407 views

    Hell, in many religious traditions, refers to the domicile, usually beneath the earth, of the unredeemed deceased or the spirits of the damned. From the underworld come dreams, ghosts, and demons, and in its most terrible areas malefactors (reprobates)

    Tom Lowe 2/3/2012 The Concept of Hell! There is no mention of hell in the Old Testament. The Old Testament talks about Sheol, which is a watery underworld where everyone went, whether they were Jew or Gentile, good or bad. In its archaic sense, the term hell refers to the underworld, a deep pit or ...read more

    While we were on vacation last week, we were able to spend time with family, including all six of our grandchildren.

    Contributed by David Owens on Feb 10, 2025
     | 1,163 views

    The presence of pain and suffering in the world do not take away from God's goodness or power. God's answer to suffering is the cross and the resurrection.

    Introduction: A. There is a movie scene in which a young brother and sister experienced the death of a beloved kitten. 1. The children had prayed fervently that the cat would get well, but unfortunately, it had died. 2. The children couldn’t understand why this had happened, so they decided that ...read more

    Every Decision And Action Has Consequences

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 3, 2025
     | 1,010 views

    One of the many things the Bible teaches is that we reap what we sow.

    Even though the Bible clearly teaches THAT WE REAP WHAT WE SOW, it seems that many have a difficult time… • Understanding this… • Believing this… For example, the world in which we live is full of people who believe they can live in sin and there are absolutely no consequences. Why do they ...read more

     | 196 views

    Every king in history has worn a crown - but none like this King. JESUS, the KING of GLORY, wore a crown of thorns. HE was enthroned not on gold but on a cross. And through that cross, HE conquered sin and death.

    Evidence In The Courtroom Of The Universe

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 2, 2025
     | 156 views

    Christ has won the cosmic conflict. Your transformed life becomes the evidence of your allegiance in the courtroom of the universe.

    Part One — The Accusation If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? That question, simple as it sounds, has a way of slipping beneath our armor. It doesn’t ask about your denomination, your baptism certificate, or the hymns you grew up singing in ...read more

    When Religion Collides With Revelation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025
     | 173 views

    Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

    Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

    20/26 Vision (Part 2): Ghost In The Machine: Imago Dei Vs.the Synthetic Self Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 13, 2026
     | 137 views

    In 2026, machines are becoming more human while we become more like machines. As AI mimics our voices, we face a crisis of "Synthetic Identity"—losing the soul to the system. But there is a "Ghost" in your design no code can replicate. Stop being data; reclaim the Image of God.

    In this year 2026, we are facing an identity crisis unlike any in human history. As Artificial Intelligence blurs the line between the made and the created, and as our digital avatars become more polished than our actual faces, we have to ask the oldest question that ever was: What does it mean to ...read more

    The Deceived Church (Church Of Laodicea)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 25, 2025
     | 469 views

    Some good Bible teachers have spiritualized these letters to the seven churches and made each local congregation represent a particular era of church history.

    But I strongly disagree with some of these good Bible teachers that I have a high respect for and I will explain in a few minutes why I disagree. For example, according to their view… • The first church on the list is the Ephesian church would represent the time when the apostles were alive and ...read more

    To turn the world upside down, the Word must first turn us inside out.
