The Truth Of God

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 7, 2023

God's Word is truth in a world of contradictions and falsehood. We must, as followers of Jesus Christ, stay firm in what Scripture teaches and demands of us, regardless of what the world, the flesh, and the devil say and do.

The Lord Jesus taught that the end times would be characterized by deceit, hatred of God, lies, malevolence, lack of love, and an intense persecution of believers. False teachers would plague the church (Matthew 24:11-12), and many who claim to be "Christians" will fall away from the ...read more

I Choose To Be A Loyalist

Contributed by Craig Benner on Sep 19, 2023

Perserverance is not as common as it once was. Society has made it too easy to quit, change course, or just make up an excuse for not following through. God is still looking for loyalists.

Portraits of Loyalty Mt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Loyalty is a virtue. It is a commitment. It is durability. Not looking for a place or a reason to quit or retreat. It is less and less atractive today. Everyone is willing to give a pass and accept ...read more

The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022

The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more

The Church Of Sardis: A Fellowship Taken Off Life Support (Revelation 3:1-6)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 1, 2024

The church at Sardis received not words of commendation from the Lord Jesus Christ, but instead, rebuke and condemnation as well a warning to wake up and strengthen what remains of its effectiveness, testimony, and purpose. Does this describe the church you attend?

The fifth church mentioned in Revelation 2-3 was located in the city of Sardis, fifty miles east of Smyrna and thirty miles southeast of Thyatira. Like the other churches, it was located in western Asia Minor, now known as the nation of Turkey. Sardis was on the major commercial and trade ...read more

Rufus And His Mother Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 27, 2022

His mother has also been like a mother to me. "His mother in a literal sense, and mine in a figurative one." An instance of the delicacy and tenderness of Paul, of his love for this disciple and his mother, as if he were of the same family.

Rufus and His Mother (Romans 16:13, NIV) Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too. Paul continues to list people he would like his Roman readers to greet for him. Now he comes to Rufus. It is not known if this Rufus is the same one mentioned in Mark 15:21 ...read more

End Church Corruption

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jul 6, 2022

Jesus wanted to end the corruption of the Temple leaders. Is the same thing happening today? Whenever a group of humans creates an organization eventually corruption seeps in. However, this is preventable.

End Church Corruption John 2:13-23 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz John 2:13 The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a scourge of ...read more

Sermon On Presence

Contributed by William Meakin on Jul 31, 2022

Presence is defined as the state or fact of existing, occurring or being present. It may also refer to an existence that is present, but is not seen.

Tara Brach, an American psychologist and author once remarked: “In any moment, no matter how lost we feel, we can take refuge in presence and love. We need only pause, breathe, and open to the experience of aliveness within us. In that wakeful openness, we come home to the peace and freedom of our ...read more
