Now Let's Be Obedient

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 28, 2024

Do you believe that the Bible can help us with any circumstance that comes into our life. It is always good advice. But do we take seriously the advice from God?

This past month we asked the question if we even need the Bible. We also talked about listening to God instead of just hearing His word. Last week we talked about meditating on God's word and really taking it to heart. I am going to go back to the book of James today to talk about what we do ...read more

Hey! A Christian Can’t Do That! Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

There are things we face in life that do not fall neatly into the right or wrong categories. There are some things we’re faced with, some areas of conduct that the Bible really doesn’t address. That’s what Paul is addressing.

Love Thinks No Evil

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 22, 2025

If a person stores up every slight and every hurt that has happened to them, it only results in more misery. It solves nothing. If daily the mind is thinking of the evil that the person believes has happened to them, keeping a record of every wrong, it leaves no room for love.

Effective Giving

Contributed by Steve Smith on Jan 23, 2010

The example of the Macedonian our Corinthian churches give us tremendous advice on the sensitive subject of tithing for NT believers today! Advice that is easy to understand requiring very little interpretation!

Why is this such a sensitive subject? Or maybe its me, but why is it so hard to preach on? What about to you? Think about it for a ...read more
