Fun Is Fundamental Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

If Christianity is not fun it is not pleasing to God nor man. We too often think fun and play is a secular side of life. It is good for a break until we get back to the important and serious stuff of life. This concept is too bad for it leads Christians to not take fun seriously.

Look To The Crucified One And Receive Our Healing

Contributed by William Tan Yh on Sep 10, 2020

Sometimes we are tempted to think that life is so unfair. Where is God when we are suffering? We attempt to look at questions such as: Why does Jesus has to suffer and die? & What does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has to do with me?

Wives, Submit Yourselves To Your Husbands, As Is Fitting In The Lord. Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 23, 2017

I don’t accept the often, to me, lame attempts to somehow explain this passage away and act like the Bible, properly interpreted, has a 21st century view of marriage. It doesn’t. I think the biblical view is beautiful, but it is very much not modern.

18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Wives First of all, there is no problem with the translation here, though I’ll clarify a bit in a moment. Ladies, how does this make you feel? You ok with this? Are you immediately thinking of reasons for exceptions? What if ...read more

Have You Confirmed Your Reservation In Heaven? Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Sep 5, 2013

Jesus is preparing a place for us. But don’t imagine a private room with walls and a door you can lock. There will be no need for locks in Heaven. Think about sharing a big house with all the other Heavenly Family members—more like a bed and breakfast.

How To Stand When It Is Difficult To Stand (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

Preaching is a fascinating career. When a preacher first starts to preach, he soon begins to think he knows all about preaching. Then, after 5 or 10 years, he discovers how very little he knows about being a minister of the gospel.

What a tremendous advantage it is to have a veteran minister take him under his wings, and teach him things he needs to know. Illus: Such is the case, when Dr. Odell Belger was starting in the ministry, as a young man in his mid twenties. When he was called to a church, the church had just had a ...read more
