    Your personal identity resides in your soul. As John Lawson once said, if your soul is stolen, that’s the ultimate “identity theft.” The most dangerous thief of all isn’t out to steal your worldly goods. After all, possessions can be replaced, but your s

Volkswagen bragged there was no way anybody could steal their car. To demonstrate their point, VW hired a highly skilled burglar and called a news ...read more

    But the church today isn’t living in power, it isn’t going into to battle and we have a hard time obeying Jesus. Even Christians dislike each other and sometimes even hate each other. Even Christians would rather do worldly things rather than Godly thin

    Going Into Battle ME Not too long ago, when HBO had a free weekend I watched a war movie called Hacksaw Ridge. The movie is about Desmond Doss. Desmond wanted to help with the war, but he would not kill anyone, he wanted to be a medic and help the wounded. The movie is based on a true story. ...read more

    Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021
     | 8,177 views

    Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

    What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

    Faith is not a one time activity for a believer. Rather, its a continuous and progressive aspect in christian life. From the word of God, God taught me 7 stages of the progressive faith.

    Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christian life is based on faith. It is by faith a person is saved, made right with the God and attain the undeserved privilege of heavenly inheritance.

    What To Do If Salvation Stops Saving (Updated)

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Mar 6, 2025
     | 438 views

    Many can mark the day of their salvation. At some point they saw the need to ask for help from above and Jesus Yeshua heard their prayer and sent the gift of the Holy Spirit. However life doesn’t always provide us safe passage and a worldly or even religious mindset can interrupt a sure salvation.

    Test Your Faith

    based on 2 ratings
     | 120 views

    The life of Rahab and Achan teach us some important lessons. While Rahab trusted God and stood firm in the faith, Achan coveted after worldly things which had serious consequences. The question is, “What kind of faith do we have?” and how is this faith displayed in our everyday lives.

    Today’s meditation is taken from 2 Corinthians 13:5, “Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups.” (MSG) Paul was making an appeal to the Corinthian believers to examine themselves consistently to ...read more

    There is a blindness even more debilitating than physical blindness. It is the blindness that occurs when people with perfectly good vision REFUSE to see what God is doing.

    INTRODUCTION Today we’re going to examine a miracle in which Jesus gives sight to two blind men. I’ve known several people who are physically blind and I’m always amazed by what they can do without sight. Growing up in Alabama, one of the most celebrated sports heroes in our ...read more

    When the church removes the central theme and central action of the church it becomes ineffective and nothinig more than a social club. We need to make sure we keep the blood and the cross in the church.
