Life’s Greatest Deadline

Contributed by Chad Bolfa on Oct 1, 2010

A Leader That Empowers People

Contributed by Major Gerardo Balmori on Apr 2, 2011

Servant leadership is when a leader humbles him or herself to be on the same level as those who are served. In the eyes of the Lord we are all equal, and for one to rise above another and say that they are better or more righteous is ungodly. What we ar

Keeping Prayer In Perspective Series

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jun 8, 2008

Called To Pray

Contributed by Mark Baker on May 10, 2008

In today’s political climate, many are turned away by all the negativity and are disgusted with everything that is going on. So much so, that they just want to throw up their hands, close their eyes, and hope things will just get better by themselves...

Over the centuries, there have been many great revivals and moves of God. Yet, before each great move of God, there was always a move to prayer. The Lord will raise up many to pray and seek after Him. Right now men and women of God are being called to begin to pray and seek His face. There is an ...read more

Good Try But Bad Wrong Series

Contributed by Craig Benner on Aug 18, 2012

The Parade

Contributed by Travis Markes on Aug 30, 2011

What do you bring to the parade? What will you give Jesus today? He is passing by. He is looking your way. Will you look him in the eye, take him by the hand, and make him your King and Lord?

Got Faith?

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 11, 2019

Abraham and Sarah point us to a kind of faith that can help us make temporary sacrifices for our heavenly home. This faith opens up our eyes to God's activity. And it actually makes God proud of us!

Holiness And Unconditional Eternal Security Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 20, 2021

Is it possible for a person who is born again and mature in Christ to take his eyes off of the Savior and wander so far away from the faith that he would reject and disown Christ? And, if it is possible what would be the eternal consequences?

New Year, New Start

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jan 9, 2016

Blinded By Darkness

Contributed by Mike Reed on Jul 4, 2014

We commonly associate temporary blindness with bright light, such as looking directly into the sun. It seems strange, then, to read a scripture which tells us that we can be blinded by the darkness! Darkness makes the eyes more alert, more receptive.
