What Happens When The Heat Is On?

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jul 15, 2006

God has given us the same promises, the same Bible; however, some will chose to opt out, to stop growth, and stay on the same baby level they have been on for years. It’s time for many in here to change reports, and change confessions. For our belief syst

Remember The Sabbath Day Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 24, 2022

The Sabbath cannot be found on any calendar! It is one day out of every seven days that we are to rest from our work. The argument of the Sabbath being Saturday or Sunday is nothing more than an exercise in futility!

I say that because the Bible indicates more than just these ten. Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.

Running On Empty

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 7, 2003

I want to take a look at an individual who was maxed-out emotionally. He was running on empty and had no margin left in his life. After he took it to the limit, God intervened, and in the process, taught him a few things.

Running on Empty Some of you know that I like to work out. I enjoy running, bike riding and the stair stepper. When we lived in Rockford, I went to the Fitness Center one day and decided to try out the treadmill. It didn’t look all that difficult so I jumped on and started walking. After a few ...read more
