2 Christian missionaries, Davy and Natalie Lloyd, were martyred for their faith yesterday in Haiti. They were ambushed by a devilish gang, who kidnapped them, beat them, tied them up and finally shot them to death. These devil-possessed murderers are Satan serving cowards. Make no mistake about it: the good

The second baptism we've been learning about in our Family Sunday School hour is the Baptism of Fire. Many Christians have been erroneously taught that the Baptism of fire is when someone receives the Holy Spirit, as evidenced by the speaking in tongues. However, the Bible makes it abundantly clear

Truth isn't relative. Truth claimed to be relative is subjective, conditional, and based on feelings that change all the time. If someone claims truth is relative, they've done so by making an absolute truth statement, which is a contradictory statement. Truth is absolute. Absolute truth is consistent and eternal. No

It doesn't matter how many steps backward you've taken. There is no use wallowing in the past on how bad you started off. What matters is NOW! The question that counts is: What are you going to do TODAY? And there is a such thing as a re-start. You can

We've been going through the different baptisms found in the Holy Bible during our Family Sunday School hour. Below is a lesson on the baptism of Moses.

The cure for complaining may be found by asking yourself these 7 questions: 1. How can I serve? 2. Who can I pray for? 3. What needs to do my brothers and sisters in Christ have? 4. What do I need to repent of? 5. What do I need to

What a preacher says, matters. Each word, phrase and sentence has meaning. If you rush through a sermon, you'll miss important points of emphasis and necessary cross-references. On the other hand, if you attempt to preach all the information you want in 1 sermon, you may cause folks to leave

There have been many sermons preached about alcohol and drug addictions, but I've not heard 1 sermon preached on dopamine addiction.

Below you'll find a sermon on a much needed, yet controversial topic: help for those in abusive relationships. It, by no means, is exhaustive. However, based on the comments I've already received, I believe it will help a lot of people. Kindly listen and share it, as the Lord leads.

I've heard there's a rise in young adults who have woken up and are sick and tired of "training-wheel-Christianity". It's a blessing to hear there is a growing remnant in the younger generation that sees through the shallowness of the fun center church. If you are part of the demographic

Have you ever heard someone say they got rid of their old, King James Bible and replaced it with the New King James Version because it's easier to understand? I'm just wondering if they pick up their old, King James Bible again when they get to these 4 verses? Ezekiel

I graduated from High School in 1991, during that era cell phones weren't "a thing", but pagers were. A pager was a wireless radio communication device that did not rely on cellular technology. It would beep when you received a message, so it was also called a beeper. If you

If you're going to preach, preach each sermon as if it's the last sermon you'll ever preach. It just may be! If you're going to preach, preach each sermon for God, not for people. If you honor God, then God's people will be blessed and edified. If you're going to

When the repentant prodigal son returned home, he received the best robe from his father. As a matter of fact, the Bible says his father "put it on him". Luke 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and

Only the power of the gospel can give weak men and women great boldness and plainness of speech. Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they

The power of the gospel brings God's love to the unlovable. Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. A born again believer experiences the greatest love ever imagined, whereby

The power of the gospel gives peace to those in turmoil. Ephesians 2:13-14 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall
