Are Your Satisfied?

Contributed by Perry Greene on Nov 23, 2011

God wants us to bless (and thank) him AFTER he blesses us. It is easy to be God-conscious when we are in need; it is another thing when we are satisfied.

We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which ...read more

Wrecking Ball (Fourth Sunday After Epiphany 2017).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

Sometimes what we learn is like a “Wrecking ball” that crashes against walls in much the same way that our new insights made the old ones obsolete. ... The Beatitudes can be like a wrecking ball as to how they can help us to grow where we thought we had arrived.

WRECKING BALL Text: Matthew 5: 1 -12 Back in the 1800’s, the cleanliness factor involved in surgeries within the practice of medicine was far different than what is practiced today. Multitudes of people were dying shortly after their surgeries. There was one doctor who figured ...read more

The Filling Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

Being controlled by the Spirit is not a dramatic or decisive one-time experience but it’s a daily, ongoing habit. There’s a kind of fullness of the Spirit that comes just simply obeying God and using the means of grace: Bible study, and prayer, and fellowship, obeying his will, etc.

Today, I want to answer this question, “How can I tell if the Holy Spirit is controlling me?” We are not alone in asking this question as the renowned theologian Jonathan Edwards addressed the questions in his work, Religious Affections. In the book, Edwards moves through twelve “uncertain signs” ...read more
