    To fear the Lord is to hate evil. Maybe we have sin in our lives because .....

    We Christians try so hard to live a good and pure life for God, don’t we? But we are all-too-often beleaguered down with the burden of sin. It seems that the harder we try, the worse we get. And so, we must ask the question, “Why do we have sin in our lives?” PROVERBS 8:13 might give us a ...read more

    Why Are We Told To Take No Thought For Our Lives?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 6, 2023
     | 974 views

    We should turn our worries into prayers. While we are in prayer and with thanksgiving in our hearts, we should learn to give it to God and leave it there.

    Matthew 6:25-34 closes this piece of the Sermon on the Mount with Jesus teaching about worrying. Indeed, even to the extremely poor, Jesus says not to stress over food or garments. God takes care of the birds and garments the lilies in a beautiful manner, and God’s children are definitely more ...read more

    Paul helps us treasure the Bible as we should.

    For years it sat on a farmhouse wall gathering dust. And when Fiona McLaren redecorated, she didn’t even take the time to cover the apparently worthless painting in a protective sheet, so it got flecked with specks of house paint. However, in an astounding twist, it has emerged that the ...read more

    My heart was blessed this week when I read about the young man in Pickens S.C who not only stood up for the Lord but, he did it in front of his classmates, teachers, family and his home town that is under attack by some who want to take prayer out

    If we are not for God then, we are against Him. Psalm 94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? We live in a day when it seems evil and those that are against God seem to be winners. Every time you turn on the news or open the ...read more

    In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).

    Why the Church I want to share some staggering statistics about church. Since the year 2000, more than 4000 churches in America have closed the doors to their buildings each year. That's more than 40,000 churches. At the turn of the 1900’s there were 27 churches to every 10,000 people. ...read more

    Many seem to demand to know WHY? God does not always explain what He is doing. God teaches us just to trust his plan. Joseph could not see God's plan for many years. God was there all the time.

    the Bible clearly teaches to defend freedom and righteousness at whatever cost.

    ”If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men". With everything that’s happened September 11 and recently in England many Christians are concerned. The truth is that God does not like war but shows in His word that sometimes war is inevitable and necessary to bring peace ...read more
