Searching For The Faithful

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

God is searching for the faithful, as He wants to show Himself strong on their behalf. He is seeking those who realize that God is bigger than man’s limited wisdom; and He is seeking those who walk in obedience to His commands.

George Muller said, “Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man’s power ends.” I’ve entitled our message for this morning, “Searching for the Faithful,” and it’s based on a verse often used in Scripture ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 7, 2022

Wouldn’t this be a wonderful world to live in if everyone was like Christ? WHAT KIND OF WORLD WOULD IT BE?

We do not have to guess, the Bible says HE WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD. Sometimes we hear people talking about someone who has live a godly life, say, “I do not believe he/she has a enemy on this earth”. It is nice to have something like this said about us, but there is not one ounce of truth to it. ...read more

Knowing God As Jehovah Jireh

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

In addition to being a symbolic parallel with the crucifixion account of Christ; Genesis chapter 22 shares an example of walking in faith and obedience to God, and experiencing the Lord’s provision in our lives as a result.

Shooting Our Wounded

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

We cringe when we hear about shooting the wounded; but how many times have we seen a brother or sister in Christ who was suffering spiritually, and then we shot him or her down with our words of judgment and condemnation?

I want to open with an illustration. On May 21, 2004, Captain Rogelio Maynulet of the United States Army shot an unnamed Iraqi who was wounded in a chase.(1) What was his reasoning? He reported, “He was in a state that I didn’t think was dignified – I had to put him out of his misery.” He ...read more
