    One of the terrible things that can happen to a minister of God is for him to conduct a burial ceremony for a person, he knows has gone to hell fire. He gets there with his Bible looking at a hopeless situation. It can be sad because he would be wondering

    Jesus says we are the salt of the earth and light of the world. We have an identity that cannot be ignored, and an influence that cannot be neglected. We need to be intentional about it. The Lord expects us to be salt and light for our generation.

    Actions without consideration of God, even if the world approves them, will lead to troubles and this statement not only has personal ramifications but also societal ones!

Were the Moabites and the Ammonites friends or enemies of Israel?? Here’s how the Bible describes them: The Moabites are described ...read more

    The Hidden Gospel

     | 9,793 views

    However, regardless of how bright the light of the Gospel is there are those who are blind to the truth. To them the gospel is hidden. How does such brilliant light become so veiled or hidden that men see not the Light?

    THE HIDDEN GOSPEL 2 CORINTHIANS 4:1-7 Introduction: Paul writing to the Corinthian church speaks of the great and awesome privilege of having been given the ministry of carrying the Gospel to the lost. This ministry of bringing light to darkness was and is a work of God’s Power through His Spirit. ...read more

    Teaching Our Children The Way To Go. Series

    From the beginning, the family has played a critical role in the outworking of God's purposes on earth. As the fundamental building block of society, it was designed to provide the context for the nurture and training of each succeeding generation.

    The family was also designed to reflect and flesh out spiritual truth. Scripture uses the imagery of the family to speak of our relationship with God in Christ. As believers, we are adopted children in the household of God (Rom. 8:15-17). We are also heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17; Eph. 1:11; 3:6). ...read more

    A no name who is a loser. Why would Jesus want anyone to remember her? There is sobering reason for you to consider.

    Why should we remember her? Luke 17:32 32 Remember Lot’s wife. (KJV) 32 Acordaos de la esposa de Lot. (RVG04) In Luke 17:26-30, Christ comments on two times in history of the judgment of God on mankind, and likens them to the way it will be at the Lord’s return. -The flood came after 120 years ...read more

    What Are You Doing In Sodom? Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Feb 19, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,837 views

    Sodom represents the allurment of the world. It proved deadly for Lot, and it will just as surely destroy our lives if we venture close to the world.

    Our passage gives us a powerful lesson concerning worldliness. The key question from Genesis 14, “how close can you get to sin before it corrupts you?” The key verse, is Genesis 14:12. There we learn that while Lot first “pitched his tents near Sodom, now we read that Lot was ...read more

    Part 1 of 5 in a series on the false gods of this world (i.e. of our own creation) that vie to be the ultimate object of our worship.

    INTRODUCTION: It is the number one problem in the Bible—more than 1,000 verses speak of it. More than 50 of the laws in the first five books of the Bible are directed against it. In Judaism it was one of only four sins to which the death penalty was attached. Yet we skip over it as an ...read more
