    Three keys to the Christian faith!

    James 1:19-20-“Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness that God requires.  There are three rules for righteousness—be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.  The rules are universal—every person is ...read more

     | 1,883 views

    It’s not just about me, my family, my space, my time or my life but God wants you to be like Joseph, whose branches ran over a wall.

    Over a wall Genesis 39:22 "Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a spring; `Its` branches run over a wall.” I like the words that Joseph is a fruitful bough, now watch this, ‘the branches run over a wall. This here is superb! Run over a wall! I remember as a small girl I went to ...read more

    Let Justice Run Down

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

     | 5,627 views

    In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

    In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Dec 23, 2019
     | 2,347 views

    The mission of the church (and individuals) is to demonstrate Christ’s love in ways which bring others to him and therefore is inherently risky.

    Every believer is in a race. We may not be aware of it yet, or perhaps the race hasn’t been revealed by God. It is our personal responsibility to discover, discern, and develop it.

    FIND YOUR RACE AND RUN IT "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it." 1 Corinthians 9:24. Every believer is in a race. We may not be aware of it yet, or perhaps the race hasn’t been revealed by God. ...read more

    Introduction One of the new terms of our day is “virtual reality.” We live in a day and time filled with imaginary stories, characters, and scenes.

    What make a church successful? Is it lots of money? A great preacher? Great outreach programs and internal programming? Oddly enough, the early church didn't have that - and yet they turned the world upside down. What did the early church have that made the difference?
