Spiritual Thinking

Contributed by Ron Auch Jr on Feb 1, 2020

The apostle Paul lays out this subject for us in the book of Colossians. First he says, “Set your hearts on things above.” The NIV is the only translation to use the word “hearts” in verse 1 here. Almost all the other translations use the word “seek.”

Spiritual Thinking Colossians 3:1-3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. (2) Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. (3) For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in ...read more

Life In The Spirit

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The Nicene Creed says, in reference to the Spirit, “We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son." The early church recognized the truth that the Holy Spirit is One who gives life.

Both Rich Mullins and Third Day sang a song entitled “Creed,” that began like this: “I believe in God the Father Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth; and in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son our Lord.” This song was based on one of the early Church creeds, called the Nicene Creed.(1) In ...read more

The Surety Of God's Love

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 8, 2022

With all of this unrest in our country, some people may wonder where God is in all of this. Others are tempted to question God's goodness. But just because there is human hatred and violence in our presence, this in no way negates God's goodness and love.

This probably comes as no surprise to you, but since covid-19 rearranged so many of our lives and schedules, we have changed how much time we spend looking at a screen, whether it's a tv, smartphone, laptop, or computer screen. As a country, we're spending a significant amount of time on ...read more

The Danger Of Discouragement #2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 23, 2022

In a previous sermon, we discovered something that we all have in common, that is, we all get discouraged.

And if you ever hear a fellow say that he never gets discouraged, watch out for him! Illus: He will also probably tell you he likes to take cold showers when it is 30? below zero.

A Legacy Through Mentoring

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

It is difficult to cross generational lines; and yet, we are supposed to share the love of Christ with the next generation (Psalm 71:17-18). One way to minister to the succeeding generation effectively is through mentoring.

When we become older we start pondering our spiritual heritage and faith in Jesus Christ, and we begin to wonder whether or not the succeeding generations will carry on what we have learned. So, we try to provide young people with exposure to our worship services, hoping that our values and ...read more

Never Too Old To Serve

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

Maybe you happen to be reaching the age of retirement. You need to realize that accepting your age can lead to losing the best years of your life. Do not become inactive and resigned, but continue to serve the Lord's kingdom.

Tyron Edwards stated, “Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow old.”(1) Sophia Loren said, “There is a fountain of youth: it is in your mind, your talents, and the creativity that you bring to your life and to the lives of the ...read more

Receiving God’s Grace

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn 8:36 NASB); but how many Christians are actually living as though they’re free? Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more
