    We can make a decision to use God’s gifts of Justification and Sanctification to the fullest extent humanly possible. We can decide to let Jesus remove our demons.

    The parable illustrates the Second Coming of Jesus as being Certain, Joyful Delayed and Decisive with the Foolish virgins excluded from the Banquet with no oil of the Spirit but the Wise receiving eternal bliss in Christ.

    THE WISE AND FOOLISH VIRGINS The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins is one of the best known of the parables of Jesus.

    Christmas - Risking Your Reputation By Obeying God!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 15, 2007
     | 2,618 views

    Joseph had made a biblical, lawful and compassionate decision to quietly divorce Mary, but obeying God was more important to him than protecting his reputation. How about you?

    Joseph was a “righteous man” (1:19). He knew what was right and he was ready to act upon it. Joseph was engaged to Mary but they were not yet living together (1:18) and of course that immediately sounds strange to most 21st century people. Engaged but not living together! Yet there is even more to ...read more

    Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017
     | 8,595 views

    This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

    Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more

    The mission serving the Good Shepherd faces 100s of millions of people worldwide who "have not sufficient exposure to make a decision for or against Christ." How will we reach them?

    Marilyn Laszlo was a missionary in Papua New Guinea. She put the language of her village in written form and was teaching 200 people to read and write.

     | 3,264 views

    In Part 2 of this series, we examine two examples of individuals who reached a crossroad and had to make a decision to give it all (bacon) or to continue just giving eggs (works).

    Are You Angry With God? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 30, 2021
     | 1,895 views

    When we want to yell curses at God, perhaps we first should ask if our peril has somehow been brought on by our own stupid decision somewhere.

    Wednesday of the 27th Week in Course Have you ever been angry with God? I don’t mean you feel inconvenienced by something that happens–a fender-bender, a sudden rain shower that leaves you without an umbrella, an extra-long work day–no, I mean really upsetting things.

    True Signs Of Conversion

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 18, 2025
     | 183 views

    Conversion is not a mere human decision but a divine work that leaves lasting evidence. It brings a new heart, a changed life, a love for God and others, a hunger for spiritual things, and a life of obedience.

    TRUE SIGNS OF CONVERSION By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Supporting Texts: Acts 3:19; Ezekiel 36:26-27; Matthew 3:8; Galatians 5:22-23; Romans 6:4 INTRODUCTION: Conversion is not just an emotional decision or a mere religious ritual—it is a radical transformation of the ...read more

    While reminiscing can be comforting, it can also be misleading. The past wasn’t perfect — people had struggles, heartbreaks, and bad decisions just like we do now.
