Faith’s Response To The Word For Optimal Profit

Contributed by James Awosina on Jul 2, 2019

To profit from the Word requires an action of faith. Reading, hearing and receiving the Word passively and superficially is of no profit to a person.

FAITH’S RESPONSE TO THE WORD FOR OPTIMAL PROFIT Hebrews 4:2 “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it” “The Word preached did not profit them…” What a fearful declaration! From the text ...read more

The Written Word Of God Versus Fresh Revelation

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 16, 2019

There are those who believe that the 66 books of the Bible are not enough, so they continuously look for fresh revelation through private prophetic words, dreams, or visions for a more meaningful personal experiential relationship with God.

I consistently hear from those who want to justify that experiential special/fresh revelation supersedes what is written in the Bible because the “books” of the New Testament were not compiled until after 324 AD. Therefore, because the Disciples in the first century had to rely on hearing the ...read more

O How I Love Your Word

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 28, 2019

Not just reading the Scriptures, or hearing them, but speaking them, owning them!

O HOW I LOVE YOUR WORD. Psalm 119:97-104. Psalm 119:97. The Blessed man avoids the walk of the ungodly, the stance of sinners and the seat of the scornful. ‘But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law does he meditate (both) day and night’ (cf. Psalm 1:1-2). A similar dichotomy is ...read more

Two Words That Are Your Game Changer – But God.

Contributed by Peter Pilt on Apr 24, 2019

I think the two words “But God” are a game changer.

I think the two words “But God” are a game changer. They are two words that speak that the impossible is possible. Regardless of the enormity of the situation you face, regardless of how bleak it looks or the magnitude of the problem – faith says there is a But God. Again and again, history ...read more

World’s View Vs Gods Word. Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Apr 24, 2023

Let us compare what the world says and what Gods words says about some of the things in the world.

1.The world says be a Leader and grab much power and authority as much as you can but Matthew 20:28 says We are called to be like Jesus who could have come as a king and came in a lowly manner and served others every day of his life. 2. The world says Money is needed to be happy but Ecclesiastes ...read more

Preach The Word -- Which One? 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Paul’s exhortation to Timothy was, “Preach the Word...” This same exhortation is given to pastors today.

However, if they are going to preach the Word of God today, they have to make a judgment as to which one of the many Bibles available is actually God’s Word. If all the translations, versions, revisions, and paraphrases taught the same thing, there would be no controversy, BUT THEY DO NOT! ...read more

Preach The Word -- Which One? 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Again, let me say, without apology, that I believe this King James Bible that I hold in my hands is the inspired, inerrant Word of God for English-speaking people.

I do not believe translators are “inspired.” I do believe the “holy men” that God used, who wrote the original text, were inspired to write those precious truths God breathed through them. • It is hard for me to conceive that God would command a man to PREACH THE WORD, when there was no Word He ...read more

Words Have Power/ Don’t Babel

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Jun 4, 2022

We all grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, enlarging our understanding of the church and the faith. And then maybe we can overcome Babel by speaking one in Christ on this Pentecost Sunday.

This text is offered as an alternative First Reading for the Day of Pentecost, with the instructions that if it is chosen, then Acts 2:1-21 gets used as the Second Reading. Certainly, there have been connections made between Genesis 11:1-9 and Acts 2:1-21, with people understanding God’s gift of ...read more

During Persecution, God’s Word Will Come

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 1, 2022

Jeremiah was to have God by his side through all of his difficulties. There are special rewards for God’s faithful people. However, it is possible that they might not be received during this life.

Jeremiah had been God’s spokesman to Judah for forty years, during the last five kings. He continually urged the people to repent and to act, but nobody would listen to him or do anything. He was not a successful man by the world’s standards, like those who have fortune and fame. He did not gain ...read more
