How Cool Can Church Get?

He conjures up the resources and the impending shame is dealt with and the celebrations continue. His earthly ministry kicks off with an ...read more

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 29, 2023

What did Paul mean when he wrote about a "baptism for the dead" in 1 Corinthians 15:29? How should it be interpreted? What does it mean in light of further teaching on the resurrection of Christ? Let Scripture speak concerning these and other matters of the faith.

1 Corinthians is a letter dealing with what could be referred to as a "schizophrenic" church. It had become a crazy quilt of pride, drunkenness, sexual deviancy, arrogance, abuse of spiritual gifts, and personal favoritism towards teachers who had been with them, such as Paul, Peter, ...read more

Prime Number

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 7, 2023

On Friend Day we looked at many of the numbers that are important to God. But there is ONE number that I believe is more important than all the others. Do you know what that number is, and why it is a "prime" number for Him?

Today is May 7th, 2023 – or 5-7-23. Those are all PRIME numbers, which means you can’t divide them by 2, 3, 4, or anything else. Primes are numbers that can only be divided by themselves and 1. Now, I’ve never given much thought to “prime” numbers, but there is an entire discipline of mathematics ...read more

Your Feet Are Still Beautiful, Even If They Cannot Walk Far

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 12, 2023

Anyone who presents the Gospel is considered to have "beautiful feet" which "brings glad tidings of good things." Some are called to travel long distances, and some are limited. Regardless, the key is to be obedient and willing to carry out Christ's great commission.

No true follower of Jesus Christ can afford in these last days or any time to remain silent as countless souls pour into eternity every day. If we love the LORD as we claim, it is out of love, regardless of the hostility of people and the forces of evil, to do everything possible to share the ...read more

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2024

After being baptized in the Jordan river, Jesus was driven into the Judean wilderness by the Holy Spirit to face forty days of hunger, thirst, and a supernatural battle with His archenemy and ours, the devil.

It would be a place of severe testing where He would encounter the works and wiles of the devil, a real being whose aim was to try and tempt Jesus to abuse HIs power, lose His faith, or submit to the ...read more
