     | 5,020 views

    There are contrasting ways to go about any task. There is striving, pushing and fighting verses a dependence on God.

  • God Tests Obedience, Not Loyalty - By Pastor Ondu Joseph

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025
     | 266 views

    Loyalty without obedience is meaningless. God does not test how much we claim to love Him; He tests whether we will follow His commands. Let us strive to be not just hearers of the Word but doers, walking in full obedience to His will.

    Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied: 'Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'" Introduction: Many believers equate loyalty to God with ...read more

  • Measured Against The Plumb Line

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 22, 2021
     | 3,653 views

    We are tested every day by the Word of God. Are we continuing upright in the ways of the Lord? Are we inclined toward sin, or are we striving to be true to the Lord? The Word of God tests us, every time that we read it, every time we hear it.

    Have you ever seen a plumb line? Simply, it’s a string with a heavy weight tied to one end of it. A bricklayer will hang a plumb line beside a wall that’s under construction, to see if the wall is being built vertical and true. If things are out of kilter, then he’ll be able to see it right away: ...read more

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2022
     | 1,471 views

    God says, “I have done it myself.” Instead of striving to do good deeds, to climb the walls of the pit to escape from sin, we must recognize our own inability. “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).
