     | 10,150 views

    Many today carelessly go around unaware of the imminent danger of dying unsaved and spending an eternity in Hell. They’re not seeking deliverance as they’re unaware they’re lost. Before one can be delivered they first must see they are lost.

At 3:10 p.m. on May 31, 1889, following a full-day of unprecedented heavy rains, a ...read more

    The human tendency is to hate authority. The Bible, on the other hand, not only exalts God’s authority, but it also places its blessing on certain forms of human authority. God has also made every church member accountable to every other church member. Go

    We need to be sure we avoid being distracted from setting our hearts on developing a growing love relationship with God.

    In Matthew 6, Jesus emphasizes our love relationship with God. He uses the word “Father” 11 times, showing the importance of that relationship. Our relationship to the Father as His children is a most remarkable and incredible relationship. “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave ...read more

    It isn’t how much you give to the work of the church that matters. It is how much you keep for yourself that concerns God.

It was a unique ethnic congregation with many customs and traditions. One such “tradition” was the publishing of the annual “Scandal Sheet of Giving.” --- A ...read more

    In our culture it is okay for love to be temporary, transitory, and to last as long as it seems to work.

    Intro: On Friday, July 29, 2005, Fox News ran the following story: Some Seek Alternatives to 'Til Death Do Us Part' Friday, July 29, 2005 By Jennifer D'Angelo In some weddings, "'til death do us part" is going the way of "to honor and obey" — that is, out the window.

    St John’s Day Mass 2014 (December 27) Thirteen Days of Christmas Tradition tells us that of the three first witnesses to the empty tomb, St. John lived the longest.

    Surrendering Credentials To Christ

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,895 views

    If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

The military is basically an up-or-out system, so it attracts into career service those who are driven to succeed. Many of you are ...read more
