The Good, The Bad, And The Overcomers Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 15, 2014

This was a loving church, serving, faithful, growing church; yet their toleration of false teaching was displeasing to Christ and harmful to people who were deceived by it. Change was needed and Jesus requires it if this church is to be overcomers.

A Recess Appointment

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jun 27, 2021

Loosing your focus on God, always leads to the enslavement of some kind of sin! And like any other circumstance, if you set up a cot there you’re going to be staying enslaved longer, than you can imagine!

Don't Follow Folly

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

Will we live on the streets of “sin city,” laying our head down in the gutter of wickedness? Or will we listen to the invitation of wisdom, to follow in God’s ways and live in the glory of his eternal mansions?

It was very good. Man and woman ...read more

God’s Wisdom Is Health For The Whole Body

Either our heart is slowly being filled with evil things, or gradually being filled with good. One heart condition ends in death, the other leads to life. So guard your heart! Then God will bless your life, from the inside out.

A Preview Of When God Ends Suffering Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 6, 2022

There are only two possible ways you can approach God - with belief or unbelief. You either believe God, or you don’t believe him. You either put faith in Christ, or you don’t put faith in Christ. You only come to Him by faith in Jesus Christ, or you don’t come to Him at all.

From The Pit To The Promise

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jan 28, 2023

All of us will go through the pit at some point. All of us will at some point go through hard times. We will go through the valley. But for every pit, for every valley, there IS a way out that leads to the very promise of God!

The problem is some start looking for ways to get accustomed to the pit. You read books on how to adjust to darkness. ...read more
