    Preaching The Unadulterated Word Of God

     | 3,865 views

    As we were growing up, many of our parents tried to warn us about dangers that we faced, but we could not see them until later in life.

    As the children of God, we used to wonder what the Word of God was warning us about in Matthew 24:22-23. We read, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is ...read more

     | 3,286 views

    One of the things the devil has been very successful at, is getting the church completely sidetracked from the mission God intended the church to do.

    To see that this is the case, all you have to do is observe what people seem to want from the church. For example, some see the church as: • A drug center to reach an emotional high. They get depressed and they want to come to church for a “Fix” • A social club where they can socialize with ...read more

    "Glorify God In Your Body”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 6, 2022
     | 2,059 views

    After a person becomes a child of God, his purpose in life is forever settled.

    Paul states very clearly how it should be. Look at Phil 1:21. We read, “For to me to live is Christ...” That is so simple, it makes one wonder why some Christians can not comprehend it. There are at least two reasons why they can not. (1) There is some kind of mental problem. For example, ...read more

     | 2,069 views

    We all understand why Paul wrote to Titus and dealt with relationships in the church.

    This has always been a problem in the church. But when we get to the third chapter of Titus, Paul starts to talk to him about salvation, and this becomes a little confusing. WHY DID PAUL TALK TO TITUS ABOUT SALVATION? Why? Paul wanted to make sure that Titus preached sound doctrine concerning ...read more

    This promise is for believers in Jesus Christ. In effect, Paul says that if you don’t LOVE God, you can’t claim this promise. If you don’t LOVE God, everything isn’t someday going to work out for “Good”.

     | 10,615 views

    Often our scars serve as mile-markers in our lives. Other scars are hidden from human view. Scars from verbal or physical abuse, divorce, traumatic losses, betrayals by those you loved. They don't escape the Master's gaze. He wants to heal them.
