    The blood of our Savior was poured out for us all. The power in the blood of Jesus is so powerful that at the mention of the blood of Jesus, Satan flees, and demons cannot stand whenever the blood is used. Jesus had to come to our realm to redeem us from the kingdom of Satan, so that we can be ...read more

     | 12,651 views

    Given a man to keep, he had lost the man. And he had lost him because he was too busy to keep him. Evidently the servant considered that an excuse. Had he been idle, then indeed the loss of the man would have been an unpardonable offence.

    Busy about the Wrong Thing I Kings 20:40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. The text is part of a little parable, spoken by an unnamed prophet to King Ahab. I Kings 20:39 (KJV) And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the ...read more

    "The Sad Thing About Sodom" was the fact that there was one child of God there who should have been a witness and testimony of the one true God who could change their lives, but he was too backslidden to help.

    THE SAD THING ABOUT SODOM Text: Gen.19: 27, 28 Intro: The ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah shall forever live in infamy. The very mention of their names brings to mind thoughts of hellish depravity and horrible destruction, the latter being the result of the former. They stand in biblical ...read more

    When we see God as weighty, we won’t want to take His name lightly.

    People get mixed up on my name all the time. Some people call me “Bill” and I’ve even been called “Brain,” though I’m not sure where that one comes from. When I’m called “Mr. Bill” people around my age think of his sidekick “Sluggo” and start laughing. I like to joke having three first names ...read more

    The rebellious want to believe a lie, escape responsibility and avoid God, but the people of God are called to model truth and love.

    Very often, on my day off, I enjoy going to the state forest near Loudonville and hiking through the woods. I put something to eat and drink in my pack and head out. I am energized by being alone where there are no phones or other means of communication — except the best communication one can ...read more
