    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 25, 2022
     | 1,939 views

    The psalmist expressed what many of us have expressed or thought.

    He said, “...Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.” The Psalmist was not the first, and he certainly was not the last person who wished he had wings as a dove so he could fly away. Illus: We all have felt like the man who went to the bus station and told ...read more

     | 1,878 views

    Many times you think you know people until you deal with them concerning money.

    Ask any landlord. He can tell you how many people have deceived him over and over again with their nice talk and appearance. The prospective renters may have looked like the most honest people ever, yet once they moved in they turned out to be some of the biggest "dead beats" in ...read more

    There are chances of failures in our Christian life. But how to face failure and turn it to a story of success.

    Failures in Christian Life (Mark 9:28-29, Luke 9:28-56, Mt.17:1-21) “After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.” (Mark 9:28) The context: Mark has a more complete account of this story than ...read more

    Attributes Of Christian Love

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jul 4, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 21,868 views

    We have been made in the image of God, & God expects better of us than to fashion our lives according to the instincts of a beastly nature. So let's consider what the Bible says about some attributes of Christian love.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 John, 4:7; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 A. The Bible has a lot to say about love. In fact, from beginning to end that is its theme - God's love for each of us, & our love for Him, which results in our loving one another. ILL. Some ...read more

     | 3,010 views

    We must realized that all Christians do wrong and that wants us to recognize, admit, confess them asking for forgiveness and deliverance from them.

    A CHRISTIAN AND HIS SINS Writing to Christians, John says in 1 John 1:8-10 “If anyone says he has no sin, the truth is not in him (he doesn’t know the truth of the Bible and if he does, he is lying.) / But if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us ...read more

    Are There Hierarchies Of Christians In Heaven?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 20, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,266 views

    There is a growing belief that the better a Christian behaves or does things for God, the greater their rank and job responsibilities will be in the heavenly kingdom - and they will also be rewarded with a deeper relationship with God.

    There are primarily two schools of thought that have emerged over the years about what the reward of Heaven will be. Some believe that there will be different gifts and varying degrees of happiness in Heaven based upon a merit type of system done on earth and how well a person works at their ...read more

    Sex is a bridge between husband and wife, and between generations. That means they must not be abused in the pursuit of the secondary meaning of giving pleasure.

    Friday of 10th Week in Course Virtue: Chastity There’s an anecdote that is at least a half-century old, because I first heard it in high school (at this point you should state a disclaimer that this homily is not written for pre-teens).

    Overcoming Counterfeit Christianity

    Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Jun 18, 2019
     | 4,862 views

    THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE WANT GOD TO DO WHAT WE BLIEVE TO BE RIGHT, WITHOUT PRAYING THY WILL BE DONE. WE ESSENTIALLY WANT TO BE IN CONTROL, AND NOT GOD. WE BELIEVE WE KNOW, EVEN BETTER THAN GOD WHAT IS BEST FOR US. HOW WRONG WE ARE!

    OVERCOMING COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY ROMANS 12:1-8 I THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY, THAT THIS SERIES HAS PROBABLY LEFT A FEW OF YOU SCRATHCING YOUR HEADS AND WONDERING IF THE PASTOR HAS TAKEN A DIVE OFF THE DEEP END.

    Lip Syncing Christians

     | 14,408 views

    Most Christians know what to say and how to say it. But very few are willing to act on what the Bible says.

    Say this with me: “God is good. All the time. To me!” Amen! How many of you remember Milli Vanilli, the R&B duo from Munich, Germany? Founded in 1988, the group’s debut album Girl You Know It’s True achieved international success and earned them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1990. ...read more

    A "Born Again Christian”?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 29, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,094 views

    This is a message that looks at what it means to be born again in a little different way.

    What does it mean to be born again? As I thought about this, I tried to think of something, an analogy that would help us see how understanding what it means to be born again is crucial to how we are supposed to live as sons and daughters of God. But I couldn’t think of an analogy that would be ...read more

     | 9,522 views

    The Christian family was a revolution in Paul's day and should be so today.

    The idea of the traditional family gets a “bad rap” in today’s society. I heard of a little girl who had just returned from seeing the movie, “Cinderella.” She was telling her elderly neighbor lady about the movie. At one point she said, “And do you know how the movie ends?” To which the older ...read more
