I want you to think back—back to your childhood. And there was a game that I am certain you’ve all played. And, even if you didn't play as a child, you probably played with your kids or grandkids.

God's Great Love

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 18, 2021

Let me ask you TWO questions: (1) WHY DOES GOD LOVE MANKIND? Why? Because the Bible says GOD IS LOVE! He can’t help Himself - GOD IS LOVE! (2) WHY DIDN’T GOD MAKE US AS ROBOTS AND CREATE US WHERE WE ALL WOULD HAVE TO LOVE HIM?

Let me tell you why… Illus: Most of us, have seen some of these little doll babies that the toy companies make. As these young girls hold these dolls in their arms, these words come from the play doll baby; “I love you!” God could have created us to be like that if He chose to do so! HE IS THE ...read more

Is The Lord Really King Of Your Life?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 17, 2021

Every Sunday she would tell a Bible story and say, “And the moral of the story is…” As the young boy began to grow older, he was promoted to another class. He went home after church and at the dinner table his dad said, “Son, how do you like your new teacher?” The young boy replied, "She ...read more

Spiritual Dumbness Series

Contributed by James Dina on Jan 4, 2022

No people make such good preachers as those who were once dumb. If the Lord opens their mouths, they will think they cannot preach often enough, and earnestly enough, to make up for the mischief they did before.

SPIRITUAL DUMBNESS “And they bring unto him one that was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, ...read more

Excellent Role Models (Youth Or Father’s Day)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 16, 2022

One thing we see lacking around the world today, is role models.

For example, we call football, baseball, basketball, and hockey players, sportsmen, but the only problem is that many of these fellows do not know the first thing about sportsmanship. We are constantly hearing about the terrible role models they are to the youth of the world. The decent people ...read more

You Have A "Tell”

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 14, 2022

In the game of Poker, a player will look for behaviors to determine what kind of cards another player is holding. In the same way, Satan looks for behaviors in our lives to see if he can get an advantage ver us.

Open your Bibles to First Peter chapter five. We’re going to read verse eight. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour.” The word “seeking” means “to seek with the intention of killing.” Now let that sink in.

Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 12, 2022

There are folks who do not care a thing about what the Bible teaches, but they do have favorite scriptures they bring up when it is convenient for them.

There are two verses that we hear about frequently. (1) 1 Timothy 5: 23 seem to be a favorite Scripture for some. Paul had written to Timothy, who had a stomach condition, and he said to him, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often ...read more

A Living Faith In God Overcomes The World

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 23, 2021

The conquest of Canaan was summed up in two New Testament passages: Heb 11:30, 31 and Jas 2:23-25, which concludes By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, Rahab the harlot justified by works, so faith without works is dead.”

Romantic And Religious Kisses Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

Kissing is a powerful reality in both romance and religion. The greatest kiss of all is God's kiss of peace, which He gives to all who receive His Son as Savior.

The story is told, and it could very well be true, of a Danish couple who decided to break off their engagement. "It is best I suppose that we give back each others letters," he said. She agreed, and replied, "We should at the same time return each others kisses." By the time ...read more

Jewels Of Rules Series

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Jun 2, 2020

One of the first benefits we obtained in the Garden of Eden was life itself. But, even better... the promise of never dying, actually... as long as we followed one simple rule. See... God set into motion man's Free-Will...

It is a rare person who does not like benefits. The working we do, the toiling we face, and the utter anguish we endure are all resolved when benefits follow closely behind. You may know that ‘benefits‘ is generally described as, “something that is advantageous or good.” Sometimes, even having an ...read more
