Being Doers Of The Word

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 7, 2024

Just being "hearers" of God's Word won't save us; we must put God's Word into practice. It's not our talk, but our walk that God's will judge. The Word is a mirror that shows us how God sees us.

BEING DOERS OF THE WORD James 1:21-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. An older man was going to "try out" for a church. When he arrived in the town, he discovered he had forgotten his dentures. He called the head deacon, who replied, "I'll take care of it." 2. Later that ...read more

The Book Of Ruth (4 Of 4)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

In the book of Ruth, chapter 1, we covered about 11 to 12 years of Naomi’s life while she lived in Moab. However, by the time we get to chapter 2, Ruth becomes the star of the story.

She is noted for two special things in her life: • She became the grandmother of King David • Her greatest honor is that the birth of Christ can be traced back to her The Book of Ruth is considered to be a wonderful book for many reasons, such as: (1) IT HAS ROMANCE Some consider it one of the ...read more

The Cross Of Jesus Christ

Contributed by Samuel M on Sep 13, 2023

Whatever we lost at the Mankind’s fall is very less in comparison to the failure or negligence to receive or experience the vast riches available at the Cross of Jesus Christ. The treasures available and accessible at the Cross are far larger than those in the Garden of Eden.

Have You Got Milk?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

The words of the Bible are likened to milk, and they are as essential to our spiritual growth as milk is to the growth of the human body. If you desire physical life then drink cow’s milk. If you desire spiritual life then drink the milk of God’s Word.

I am sure the majority of you have watched the television commercials advertising milk with the catchy little slogan that says, “Got milk?” Maybe you recall the commercials of years gone by that said, “Milk, it does the body good.” What you can pick up from these slogans is that milk is good for ...read more

What Ever Happened To Hell?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Sometimes we hear about the “Endangered species” list. That is, there are certain kinds of birds, fish, animals, and insects that die and become few in numbers because of hunting or natural disasters.

When this happens, they are placed on the “Endangered Species” list so that they will not become extinct. Once they are placed on this list, everything that is imaginable is done to preserve them. This is good, because if they were not placed on this list, soon these birds, fish, insects and ...read more

Preach The Word -- Which One? 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Paul’s exhortation to Timothy was, “Preach the Word...” This same exhortation is given to pastors today.

However, if they are going to preach the Word of God today, they have to make a judgment as to which one of the many Bibles available is actually God’s Word. If all the translations, versions, revisions, and paraphrases taught the same thing, there would be no controversy, BUT THEY DO NOT! ...read more

Grace From Galatians (2 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

At the beginning of the Book of Galatians, we saw that Paul dealt with two problems.

(1) HE HAD TO DEFEND HIS APOSTLESHIP Those who hated Paul were stating that he was not a true apostle. Ministers go into the ministry for a number of reasons: • Some think it is an easy job, SO WHY NOT • Some folks enjoy being in front of people • Some are in the ministry because Mommy wanted a ...read more

Grace From Galatians (4-19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

As children, our parents told us things that they felt were best for us, but we often thought we knew more than they did.

Isn’t it amazing how children, in the short time they have been here on earth, seem to think they are able to accumulate more knowledge than us old timers who have been around 60 or 70 years? But in all fairness, I have met some parents whose children were smarter than they were, and that does not ...read more

Grace From Galatians (7 0f 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

The false religions of the world have one thing in common. They all desire to put people under bondage. Why do they want to put people under bondage? This is their way of keeping their members under their control.

For example to understand that, we have to consider a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Why did he use intimidation, torture and death as a means to control the people of Iraq? The people in Iraq were afraid to say anything bad about him for fear that he would have them killed. Illus: Let me give you ...read more
