    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.

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

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 6, 2023
     | 946 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

    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.
