Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024

Why Sunday?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 24, 2024

When you look at the letter of the Law, you demand one day only. When you look at the principle or purpose of the Law you see the grace that Paul spoke of and why Gentiles were not required to be under naught but the moral law.

It Is Near - Mark 13:28-31 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 23, 2024

What good is it to know that his coming is near? Would you live differently if you knew for sure it would be in your lifetime? Shouldn’t you live that way all the time? And if we can’t know when it will happen, what does “near” even mean?

Jesus' Guest List

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Apr 19, 2024

You’re probably heard the saying, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. You would think that Jesus could please all of the people all of the time. But he didn’t.

You’re probably heard the saying, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. That sounds true from my experience. No one can please all of the people all of the time, but … if there ...read more

Then, to further date myself, we would tune our black and white tv on to one ...read more

As you learn to pray more and more, talking to God in the morning, praying over meals, praying at night, praying at mid day, praying at church, and praying at home, eventually you’ll find that something changes. You’ll realize over time, wow, my entire day is turning into a dialogue with God.

There was an evangelist of yesteryear named Wilbur Chapman. One day he was talking to William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army. Chapman asked Booth, “General Booth, God has used you in a great way. What is the secret of God’s use of you?” Booth moved the hair out of his face, looked at ...read more
