Contributed by Dennis Lee on Oct 19, 2025

Peace, Peace, God’s Wonderful Peace!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 22, 2025

Anxiety seems to be a problem today for both the saved and the unsaved. While we can understand it might be a problem with the unsaved, we have a difficult time understanding why it is a problem with the saved.

WHY IS ANXIETY SUCH A PROBLEM TODAY? Someone printed these words under a tranquil scene on a calendar: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday." We do spend a lot of time worrying about tomorrow. So many in our society insist on trying to carry the… • Burdens of the ...read more

Abraham Justified By Faith

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 25, 2024

Paul proves through Scripture that Abraham was not justified by works.

4:1 “What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?” Let’s look at this verse, as all the others, one word at a time. “Then” is “therefore” in this text.

Because Of Fearing God

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Apr 6, 2024

If we really fear God, meaning we have great respect for Him, we regard Him highly, we are in awe of Him, our attitude or behavior will be so different. Even toward those who would want to harm us, our reactions would be far from the ordinary.

Elevate To The Next Level - "Living Intentionally

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Aug 3, 2025

I’d like to look at intentional living, which is about reassessing life, and living lives intentionally given the fact each one has only so many days left to live. As we begin, we’ll find those things we considered important might not be that important after all.

Knocking On Heaven's Door (Psalm 122)

Contributed by James Jackson on Aug 10, 2025

Three things give us confidence to knock on Heaven's Door: We've been invited, Someone's home, and we desperately want what's inside.
