Scripture And Suicide Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

Suicide is almost always folly in our culture, for it is basically just a means of escape. It is usually based on ignorance of the future. People think their present situation is permanent, and they cannot stand to think of living with their present burden for the rest of their lives.

The book of Jonah gives a very favorable account of the attitude and character of the pagans involved. In fact, they are at points pictured on a higher level than Jonah himself.

A Preoccupation With Scripture Series

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jan 3, 2014

Much of the Christian’s thinking and decision making today is based on the senses and not on the Scripture. The church has lost her preoccupation with Scripture. The church has fallen away from a passion and love for the Word of God.

If Scripture Is Inspired...

The Witness Of Scriptures Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 9, 2008

Openness to God precedes the reception of Scripture truth. We are not to guide Scriptures, they are to guide us...to God. We are not to make Scriptures say what we think or want them to say, but let them say what God desires to reveal.

JOHN 5: 39-47 THE WITNESS OF THE SCRIPTURES [Luke 24: 25-27, 44-49 / Luke 16: 19-31] The previous passage tried to teach us that openness to belief must precede the reception of truth. Now John affirms that openness to God precedes the reception ...read more

The Legitimacy Of Scripture Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on May 24, 2022

The human trap is that we’d use scripture like a baseball bat and abuse people with it. But in reality, it ought to be a source of comfort and sufficiency in God - it should be our lamp in a very dark world!

Scary Scripture Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 29, 2022

Paul warned Timothy to keep a close watch on his life and on THE TEACHING because "in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you." Why is what we teach so critical to the salvation of ourselves and our listeners?

We Are Living Epistles

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022
