     | 536 views

    Integrity is not situational; it is a lifestyle.

We think of someone who is dependable, someone who follows through on their commitments, AND we think of someone who does what is right even when no one is watching. Integrity is ...read more

    The Jesus Of The Word Of God Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 17, 2025
     | 518 views

    Try as we might, we can't make Jesus into just anything we want Him to be. If we would meet, follow and worship the real Jesus, we must understand that He is the Jesus of the Bible, the Living Word of God, for to believe anything else will result in wasted worship.

    “You don’t get your own personal Jesus!” In spite of what a recent “He gets us” television ad says, that’s the emphatic title of a little booklet written by popular east-coast Baptist Pastor J. D. Grear. He confesses that he first said it, actually yelled it in the middle of a television ...read more

    Ministry can often be discouraging. The battle may be against opposition or indifference. We can learn from Elijah about battle fatigue.

    OVERCOMING BATTLE FATIGUE The first line of the hymn Peace in the Valley reflects the discouragement that often fills the hearts of weary travelers: “Well, I’m so tired and so weary, but I must go along; till the Lord comes and calls me away.” Most of us want that call to be like Abraham’s, to ...read more
