Too Fat To Serve?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 11, 2016

Thin may be in, but fat is where it's at! ;-) We make too many judgment calls on girth when it appears God has no problem using a POG (Person Of Girth) We have a wrong definition of gluttony.

We were discussing on FaceBook an article by Kirk Cameron, “Is It A Sin To Be Fat?” I have provided the link below for your edification. D. L. Moody and Charles Spurgeon were both 5' 9" tall and weighed 350 lbs. Both won over a million people to Christ. If it is a sin, it would appear ...read more

Blessed By The Blood

Contributed by Craig Benner on Oct 22, 2014

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2016

We know from previous passages of scripture that Jesus had given them the authority to heal and they had been successful many times. But this time they seem to be in over their heads. They pray and nothing happens.

"The Intersection of Faith and Doubt" Mark 9:14-24 We find in the scripture that nearly 40 times Jesus performed an act of healing. Water to wine. Fed 5000 without very little food. He healed the blind, the deaf; the lame. And the reason was simple: it was never just about the healing…it was ...read more
