Contributed by Brien Sims on Jul 7, 2008

You can meet your full potential in Christ but you will have to go through some purification to become what He wants you to be.

How would you like to reach your full potential? Plenty of people, gurus, companies, books, and even our own military want to help you with that. The Army’s motto says exactly that, “Be all you can be in the Army.” How often do you look in the mirror and wish something would change in your life? ...read more

Attributes Of God

Contributed by Chris Beam on Sep 26, 2014

Jesus is more than enough for any and every situation that this life has to offer. There is no such thing as impossible with Jesus. There are no hopeless situations when it comes to our Lord and Savior. Whatever you or your loved one might be going through, your situation is not hopeless!

This section of Mark’s gospel is filled with what many perceive to be impossible situations. We’ve seen how Jesus has overcome storms, demons, and now death! Each case seemed to be hopeless. The disciples thought they were going to die in the storm, no one was able to control the ...read more

God Is Love

Contributed by Stan Lobin on Nov 16, 2022

What do we do with the the fact that God is love and we were created in His image? How do we, in our brokenness, love an invisible God and those hard to love people that God has commanded us to love? God has a plan or a road map for us to follow to make us more loving.

God is love! Of course all Christians should have heard that phrase and believe that it is true because we are told that God is love in the Bible. 1 John 4:7-21 NASB 7 Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 The one who ...read more

God And Creation

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 7, 2021

Someone has said that Genesis 1:1 is read more than any verse in the Bible. This is especially true in January, since many begin the year with the determination to read the Bible through that year, but often that is as far as they get.

However, if they only read this one verse, it will tell them a great deal about the God of the Bible. This one scripture is considered to be the FOUNDATION which the Word of God is built upon. Since this is the case, is it any wonder that Genesis 1:1 is specifically targeted by those who try to ...read more
