    Awaken To The Times

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,113 views

    Though the world may persecute us, and evil may seem to prevail, we must still work for Christ. The Church must shine for Him. We must preach and demonstrate the gospel, for without us, how will the world know Christ?

We have digital clocks in our car and alarm clocks on our nightstands. Lots of people keep a Day-Timer nearby so they can keep track of their appointments and ...read more

    Consequences Of Forsaking The Lord

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Oct 11, 2025
     | 65 views

    All members of society suffer from the evils all around us. Why does God allow suffering and persecution to the righteous? Consequences for evil doings must be endured. Spiritual Blindness and Spiritual Adultery against God are some of the causes.

    Evils come upon everyone. Some believe it is a part of life. Leaders speak of these evil behaviors as nothing to be alarmed over. Murders and other vicious crimes happen daily. Many more occur at different times compared to others; perhaps more are occurring here recently. 2 Timothy 3:13. 13 But ...read more

     | 6,142 views

    Tossed to and fro by the difficulties of persevering in the faith? What or whom do we look to for assurance and reassurance? Hebrews 6:9-20 tells us where to find an anchor for our souls.

    I imagine as we come to the very middle of the Book of Hebrews it might be legitimate for any of you to ask if I’m ever tempted to quit, to just blow off the Christian life, to abandon Christ. And my answer is not so much that, though I must admit the thought has occurred to me, but always with ...read more
