     | 5,331 views

    The reordering of our priorities in the face of an impending crisis.

    A SHORTENED TIME, A PASSING WORLD. 1 Corinthians 7:29-31. This is one of Paul’s ‘I say, not the Lord’ passages (cf. 1 Corinthians 7:25), meaning that he is not here directly quoting a word from Jesus. Not that his comments are uninspired, as some contend. The Apostle goes on to qualify ...read more

    In these last day's we must examine ourselves frequently to make sure when Jesus comes back we are ready to go. Having a knowledge of all the END TIME events will not save us. It's how we serve the Lord that will assure our entrance into heaven.

    There is a time for fasting for the glory of God, and then there are times to enjoy food, company, and good times. However, some people are not satisfied with anything and prefer to stay miserable, indecisive, and closed to what God has in store for them.

     | 7,263 views

    Past mistakes, failures and heartaches can be debilitating. We tend to either deny our past or try to compensate for our past. But neither resolve the damaging effects of our past. We need to move on. But how?

    “Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old.” Isaiah 43:18 LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND - If you hope to make progress in this new year, then you must leave last year behind. The past is over and done with. Don’t dwell on what could have been or should have been. It is what ...read more

    2 Timothy; 1, 2, 3 John and 1 & 2 Peter are all books that deal with the PERILOUS TIMES that are to come.

    When we read II Timothy we can easily detect that the apostle Paul was greatly concerned about young Timothy. Let me show you the concern. IN CHAPTER ONE Paul reminded Timothy that his mother and grandmother had raised him right. In II Timothy 1:5 Paul says, “When I call to remembrance the ...read more

    In a culture that wants to hear and tell lies and are obsessed with who has what and how much they have, this prayer is a breath of fresh air. Our culture is very self-centered but Agur's prayer is God-centered.

    Lessons From The Prayer of Agur Proverbs 30:7-9 Introduction: In recent years a lot of public attention has been focused on prayer. Our courts have banned prayer from public schools, public functions, and public display. And as we've seen in protest, regardless of opposition, it hasn't ...read more
