    Do We Have A Preference Or A Conviction

    If our faith changes or bends under any circumstance, even in the face of certain death, we have a preference and not a conviction.

    Daniel 3:8–18 In 1972 the Supreme Court ruled in Wisconsin vs. Yoder that the only religious beliefs protected under the First Amendment are convictions. Preferences, the Court said, are not. [Amish families did not want their children in Public School pass the 8th grade and the state said they ...read more

    In the midst of our nation’s tragedy, we can find rest and shelter in God’s abiding presence

    Psalm 91:1,2 “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.” If you’d go to the beach, you’d see an ironic sight – people in swimsuits sitting underneath umbrellas. ...read more

    This about the letter to the Church in Pergamum.

    We hear a lot in our day about pressure. We have pressure here. We have pressure there. Pressure, pressure, everywhere pressure. We talk about pressure with the weather. One thing I have noticed is that when we have low pressure, we get hurricanes. High pressure brings a clear, sunny ...read more

    Let's Quit With The Excuses, Shall We?

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Aug 8, 2013
     | 4,864 views

    How is it that we, the Body of Christ, ignore fulfilling in the lives of those sitting in our pews His self-identified mission as described in Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:18-21?

    I’m tired...so very tired. Not tired of body, but tired in soul. There is something troubling my heart that I have to speak today, something I have to get out in front of those who call themselves “the Redeemed”. I will be brief, but I will be clear. The words of Isaiah 61:1-3 ...read more

    It’s ironic that when dealing with these positive commandments, we don’t ever come to a point when we can say, “I have fulfilled them.”

    Thursday before Epiphany 2017 Joy of the Gospel St. John teaches us today in both Epistle and Gospel: “By this we know love, that [Jesus] laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet ...read more

     | 10,770 views

    As believers we need to realize the dangerous position in which we put ourselves when we decide to reject God’s will and run from His plan.

    What Happens When We Run – Rejecting God’s Will Text: Jonah 1 (Sunday AM) Date: January 9, 2000 I. Introduction Attention: I had neatly folded my clothes, at least as neatly as an eight year old could have, and I had placed them in a little bag.

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,825 views

    What do we do when the ugly little head of fear begins to creep into our lives? What is it that causes you fear? An example of Abram's life shows us what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

    Fear. Whether we want to admit it or not, fear is something that we have to wrestle with. The fear of standing on the ladder that's two stories high. Fear of a spider crawling on your skin. The fear of snakes. The fear of standing on a stage with the spotlight beaming on you. The fear of ...read more

    Forewarned is forearmed. Wisdom not only guides us in our choices, it helps us anticipate what we may expect to see.

    Wisdom: What We Can Expect (Proverbs 24:7-12) 1. A lot of times folks get very superstitious about finding God’s will. And, more often than not, they want God’s will to be their will, and somehow make it so. 2. By the time Bobby arrived, the football game had already started. "Why ...read more

    Are We To Be Prepared To Face Doom Or Deliverance?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 11, 2024
     | 779 views

    In this passage of Scripture, God is placing judgment on a sinful world. Assyria had been a powerful nation. They were proud of themselves at how they conquered the various lands and its people.

    The Patience and Power of God: Like Jonah, Nahum was a prophet to the capital of the Assyrian Empire, Nineveh, and he prophesied somewhere in the range of 663 and 654 B.C. Jonah had seen the city atone a century sooner, however it had fallen once more into devilishness. Assyria was controlling the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,217 views

    The question of eternal destiny is one of the most important we will ever face. Our world offers many paths, ideologies, and philosophies, all claiming to lead to God or enlightenment. Yet, the Bible presents a radically exclusive claim: that Jesus Christ is the only way to God.
