The Need For Church Revival: Recover

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 22, 2020

Jesus goes on to tell the believers at Ephesus to do the works that they did at first.

Reflections

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 25, 2020

We can have a tendency to focus a lot on our image. Whether it's how we look, how we come across or how we're perceived. And to some degree we should it seriously but we can focus too much on our physical image and not enough on our spiritual image.

REFLECTIONS We can have a tendency to focus a lot on our image. Whether it's how we look, how we come across or how we're perceived by others, our image is something we take seriously. And in part, that's a good thing. We should be concerned with how we come across and that people ...read more

Don't Sell Your Birthright Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 28, 2020

Don't sell your birthright, like Esau did. Don’t sell your priesthood. Don’t sell the promises of God. And don’t sell your power over sin. Instead, enjoy your inheritance rights as a child of God, and live like the king that you are!

Some time ago (September 16, 2009), an article in The Washington Post began with these words: “The king folds her own laundry, chauffeurs herself around Washington in a 1992 Honda, and answers her own phone. Her boss's phone, too.” The article was about Peggielene Bartels, a secretary in the ...read more

I'm Confident Of That (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 1, 2020

We can view the word confident in a purely negative light. We associate confidence with pride and arrogance, but that's not always the case. There are times where the word is used in a positive way. Let's look at some of them and see what we can take away.
