Give God The Honour He Deserves Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

Malachi reminds us who it is we worship. We need to approach him with reverence and awe.

Some people have asked me why I chose Malachi as our next series. Well, there was no special reason, but one thing I’ve discovered as I’ve begun preparing this series is that it’s a great book to be studying right after looking at the letters to the seven Churches in Rev 1-3. Why? Because what I’ve ...read more

A Call To True Religion - Take Inventory Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

Do we live as if we will account to God one day or as if God doesn’t really come into the picture?

By Michael Prabaharan The Recipe isn’t working "Our past Christian heritage is long gone, replaced by seemingly more successful and relevant spiritual and secular beliefs.

A Harvest Of Peace

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 11, 2007

As gardeners grow beauty, so also we must grow peace: speak truth without prejudice; pass judgments but do something to help the troubled grow; pay attention to our own hearts; and settle for nothing less than Christ as the full truth.

As if we did not have enough yard work to do at home, my wife and I have taken on a gardening project at the church to which we belong, Montgomery Hills Baptist Church. The landscaping had deteriorated, and so a gardening team was formed to take care of it. My wife volunteered; I got volunteered. ...read more

The Temple Of The Lord

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 21, 2005

Time and again God had warned his people not to worship anything or anyone else but Him, but they continued to do whatever they wanted to do. They were going to the Temple supposedly for the purpose of worshipping the Lord on the Sabbath Day, but were di

Recently, I have been doing an in depth study of some of the major prophets of the Bible. Great men such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah have always been favorites of mine (and, I know the same is for some of you). The words of these prophets can bring to us things that we may have never ...read more

The Things You Don't See
