Once, For All!

Contributed by David Richardson on Jul 15, 2005

The Cost Of Saying Jesus Is Lord

Contributed by William Yates on Aug 5, 2002

Saying "Jesus is Lord" has lost its potency with many American believers, but Paul’s audience in his epistle to the Romans certainly understood the cost of this statement!

Romans 10 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. James 2 19You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder [in terror and horror such as [1] make a man’s hair stand on ...read more

Asking Both Kings For The Wall

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 15, 2010

For every significant task, there is the "sit-down" approach and the "rise-up" approach. We need both to sit down and pray and then to rise up and do, but even then by involving the resources of others. Lone wolves are not appropriate.

When a big challenge faces you, essentially there are only two things you can do about it: You can rise to the challenge. Or you can sit down and ignore it. When there is a big task to be done, I am saying, there are two entirely different ways to approach it. There is the rise up approach and ...read more
