    Exceptional

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Dec 12, 2022
     | 1,117 views

    Being "exceptional" is not superiority, it is being the exception to the rule.

    I recently read the following quote. I don’t know who said it, but I thought it fit today’s lesson, which I have entitled “Exceptional.” Here's the quote: "It is, I think, pertinent to recall that the achievement of the Christians of the first century was due to the fact that their faith ...read more

    My Christmas Dilemma

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Dec 4, 2022
     | 1,230 views

    Some pros and cons of Christmas.

    I am not a big fan of Christmas, mainly because it is not in the Bible. Family and friends outnumber me, so I go along with Christmas festivities but not wholeheartedly. I have difficulty celebrating it as the birthday of Jesus. For one reason, Christians did not celebrate Christmas for at least ...read more

     | 1,101 views

    Preachers have an essential place in saving the souls of their citizens and the souls of their nations.

    Did you know that the Pastors and Preachers of our founding era were different than the average clergyman today? Instead of society relegating them to irrelevance as mere religious storytellers, most early Pastors and Preachers in America were influential in their churches and communities. Those ...read more

    A Fragrant Offering

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 3, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 828 views

    Our sacrifices to God are fragrant offerings to Him.

    The character is Jonah and I want to begin by considering the sacrifices of the Hebrew people to God. The Law of Moses required the people to make a variety of sacrifices to God. The important point of the sacrifice was that it was to come from the heart, not merely be an outward activity of simply ...read more

     | 1,281 views

    We can sell our souls to the devil.

    We use the phrase "make a deal with the Devil" to describe a person or persons perceived as having collaborated with evil for their own benefit. We use a similar expression: "sold his soul to the devil." We mean that a person has resorted to something wrong or underhanded to get ...read more

    Prayer is key.

    And Congress Prayed Psalm 35 (NKJV) begins with verses 1-4: Plead my cause, O LORD, with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me. 2 Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help. 3 Also draw out the spear, And stop those who pursue me.

    Lifting Our Laborers

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 3, 2022
     | 1,561 views

    Honoring laborers on Labor Day.

    I like this quote by Jerome K. Jerome about labor: “I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.” Labor Day came about through the labor movement in America to honor our workers for their achievements. Beginning in 1885, States passed legislation to praise their labor forces. ...read more

    Steady As We Go

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jul 25, 2022
     | 944 views

    We must be consistent in our lives as believers.

    I had a teacher in undergraduate school who used to quote Shakespeare and say, “O consistency thou art a jewel. O Inconsistency thou art a reality.” Shakespeare and my teacher hit on insightful truths. One is that being consistent is a rare and valuable commodity, and the other is that we are ...read more

     | 859 views

    We are to boldly go into the world to advance Christ's kingdom and hasten His coming.

    Christopher Columbus set sail from Europe on August 3, 1492, with the three ships Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria, presumably to discover a western route to the Orient. My earlier studies of Columbus’ journey to the New World left me with a limited understanding of the man and his motives. I thought ...read more

    God uses hardships to get our attention.

    I am sure you remember the story of the farmer with the exceptional mule. The mule was a hard worker and could do things that amazed other farmers. One day the farmer wanted to show off his mule to his friends. They watched in shock as the farmer hit the mule between the eyes with a 2 x 4 stud. The ...read more

    Truth destroys the deceptions of our time.

    "To Tell the Truth" was a classic television game show from 1956 to 1968 in which a person of some notoriety and two impostors tried to match wits with a panel of four celebrities. The game's objective was to try to fool the celebrities into voting for the two impostors. Some of you ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 978 views

    This sermon was a four-part podcast at GodNAmerica.com which asked: Are we fully committed to Jesus or just dabbling in Christianity?

    Intro – Part 1 1. Jesus came into the world to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). In doing so, he changed people from being the disciples of Satan to become His disciples. Jesus did what Rabbis do, they make disciples. 2. To be a disciple, one must follow the precepts and instructions of the ...read more
