    Seeking And Saving The Lost

    People in every Bible church sing about and preach a great deal about winning the lost to Christ.

    But there comes a time when we should not just sing and preach about it - we need to get down to the nitty gritty of doing it. To do this we have to have a plan. For example: ? The Carolina Gamecocks when they get ready to play a football game have to have a game plan to reach that goal line ...read more

    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,710 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    Good Eyesight Spiritually

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 10, 2025
     | 266 views

    In this passage of scripture, the Lord used the image of eyes to convey an important spiritual principle that we need to consider. We all would agree that eyesight is something that is very important to all of us in this PHYSICAL WORLD, but it is EQUALLY IMPORTAN IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD.

    Illus: Because our eyesight is so crucial to us, He created the eye so it can be protected. For example: • God placed our eyes lower than our forehead so our eyes can be protected by our forehead. • God gave us eyebrows for the purpose to help keep moisture, such as sweat and rain, out of ...read more
