    "Living It" Luke 10:25-37 How many times a day or a week do you hear the expression, "That person was being a 'Good Samaritan'?"

    Paul’s Harsh Advice On Who To Marry Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 28, 2018
     | 4,190 views

    This is a challenging passage. Paul repeatedly emphasizes the vast difference between Christians and non-Christians that makes marriage a non-starter. Why does Paul think that Christians should not marry non-Christians?

    OVERKILL? Why does Paul make such a big deal about this? - 2 Corinthians 6:14-18. - Paul here argues that Christians should not marry non-Christians. That strikes many people as overkill. Is it really that big a deal? Is it really worth the repetition that Paul makes here? This is the ...read more

    Contributed by Mike Fogerson on Apr 26, 2016
     | 4,689 views

    Any outpouring of the Spirit has its origin in the heart of God Himself. But, it’s birthed in the burden of believers who are in prayer.

    Revival: A Surprising Move of God (Pt.2) September 9, 2015 CFBC, Chester, IL Dr. Mike Fogerson A “Lord, what will You have me to do?” 1 On September 23, 1857, Jeremiah Lanphier (a missionary, street corner preacher, door-to-door soul winner) prayed this prayer out of a heart that ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,371 views

    Only the living God will satisfy the soul. Of this you may be certain: you will never be at peace until you are at peace with God. Peace is essentially being of one mind with God, and it is also the character of God.

    Shame

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 20, 2013
     | 5,621 views

    We often want a "no demands" Christianity, and feel little regret over our failures. This needs to change.

We can only imagine the shame he is feeling, especially because the world now knows the truth. Shame is found in many ...read more
