    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Aug 3, 2021
     | 6,117 views

    We are told to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. However, what do I have to do to work out my salvation? Are there certain steps I must take? Are there some specific criteria for me to work out my own salvation? These are all good questions.

    Phil 2:12-13: Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

    The Church is apostolic because its foundation stones are the apostles chosen by Jesus himself as his first witnesses, prophets, priests and leaders.

    Monday of 24th Week in Course There are four marks of the Church—unity, holiness, apostolicity and catholicity. The unity is oneness in belief and practice. The holiness.

     | 1,332 views

    When facing an enemy, we must be wearing the proper gear for battle.

    You cannot stand against the enemy without your battle rattle. You must be wearing the whole armor of God. The battle is not a natural one, therefore natural weapons are ineffective. Spiritual battles are fought with spiritual weapons. The armor has a purpose, our responsibility is to put it ...read more

  • Just What Does "taken Up" Mean For Jesus?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 20, 2022
     | 1,684 views

    When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

    Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus. If I bet money, I’d lay odds that anyone age 65 or older in 2022 can at least give a general outline of the life of Christ, even if he or she didn’t think ...read more

  • The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,528 views

    The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

    A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more

  • What Changed? Series

    Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Feb 13, 2025
     | 601 views

    I often say, “If there has been no change, then there was no change.” Which means when Christ enters into the life of a new believer then their life will make some changes.

    “What Changed?” Acts 9:17-22 I often say, “If there has been no change, then there was no change.” Which means when Christ enters into the life of a new believer then their life will make some changes. Yet if there is only a prayer that could be called, “fire insurance” with no repentance, there ...read more
