Solomon knew that the houses could be built and the people could inhabit them but he also knew that without God it would all be a waste. Christians can do the work but without God, we can do nothing but waste time. Look around at the situation of the world. Evil is all around and it’s right in everyone’s faces. It’s getting worse and worse with eac…

Once you’ve been saved, you gain so many good things. These things can’t be numbered. Once you think you’ve got something good, it just gets better. On the other side, once saved you lose many things. Hell no longer has a hold on you. The relationship you didn’t have and couldn’t earn is given to you at the time of salvation. The door and bridge to…

Your challenge is, where are you with the Lord? For every person who’s been lost and then saved, God came to them while in their sin and invited them to be cleaned. One problem with the church (Christian) is that they slip. They allow the things of this world to come into their lives and they slip and forget about God. Not one person can’t go throu…

Being rich in this world is a relative term. Having a dollar here is considered rich in a third-world country. If you think for one minute that anything in this world makes you rich according to God then you’re badly mistaken. If you’re chasing the things of this world then you’re after something that God doesn’t approve of. He doesn’t take second …

We look in the mirror and tell the one looking back that everything is alright. We lie to ourselves all the time. David was a man blessed by God. Yet David became idle with God and slipped into sin. We then read about his life and its intimacy between him, God, and his downfall. Don’t ever think that his life could never happen in your life. All it…

If Jesus needed to pray, wouldn’t it seem more important for us to pray? He has given us the greatest treasure ever and that is to pray. All we must do is humble ourselves and He would hear us when we speak to Him. If prayer isn’t changing you then why pray? We all need to get to the place where we pray without ceasing. If your prayers are only one…

The preacher’s job is to warn the lost of their impending doom if they don’t get saved. The word of God shouldn’t be sugarcoated. Sin is sin and it should be said as such. God gives us our needs, not our wants. Just because you do something doesn’t mean you’ll get something. Many churches are out there preaching a false teaching that if you name it…

Brother Zach Willis The Fulfillment Luke 24:2 The most important part about Jesus is that He rose again. If He didn’t raise from the dead then He would have been just another dead person.

Why do we forget things that seem so important? We are not above forgetting things. Some things are not worth remembering while others are very important. We should never forget what God has done for us. Some of us have forgotten the great things that God has done for us. The miracles that He has done we’ve let slip by, forgetting them. Only God wa…

The world wants the church to die. They don’t want the church to stop singing, worshipping God, speaking of Jesus, etc. This might be the last time that we are allowed to worship together in one mind and one accord. David had every right to lay it all down, however he stood up and praised God anyway. We as humans like to be held in the depression o…

A note to the graduates, life is hard. There are a lot of things in an adult life that just don’t make sense.

Several folks have been raised in the church with sound doctri…

Ephesians 2:8; What you have down here in this world doesn’t compare to what was given to a lost person when they receive salvation. John 10:9; Being fed by God can’t compare to the food on earth. Acts 4:12, Romans 3:23, 25, 24; A saved person doesn’t deserve anything. A home, cars, parents, or food on the table; none of these things compare to the…

Lukewarm water or indecisive, indifferent. Hot water is good to soak and bathe in, to get clean. Cold water is refreshing and cooling. Lukewarm water is not good and is oftentimes stagnant and full of pollutants. As Christians, we should strive to not be lukewarm. We should never be lukewarm for Christ. We should always be working, obeying God, and…

These things are good and welcoming but they are not the most important …

A sower spread some seed and some of it fell upon the wayside. Once it had been placed the birds came and ate it. Some seeds landed into the stony ground and it couldn’t take a good root and it quickly died out. Other seeds fell in the weeds and it was choked out. Then some seeds fell amongst good, fertile ground. It began to grow and take root and…

There will be a time when people will turn their ears away from sound doctrine and look for false doctrine. All around us today people claim to have a form of godliness yet deny Jesus Christ. If you’ve been saved then it will never leave you but, you can turn your back on it. In this reading, we see a child that left his first love. He requested fr…

Dwell means to settle, or to wed as in marriage. Many think that if they get married and it doesn’t work then they can just get out of it, a trial run if you will. It doesn’t work this way with God. Once you’re His then you’re His forever more. The secret place. Being saved means that your relationship is in secret. No one knows the relationship be…

Why do you follow God? You can’t see Him. You can’t feel Him. Jesus began His journey way before He came to Earth as a child. Throughout the entire Bible, even though the naysayers say it contradicts itself, it does not. In a saved person’s life, there are so many miracles that have taken place that no man could ever do. A lost person gets their in…

The first offering of man was when Cain and Abel gave their sacrifices. Abel gave his first, his best as a sacrifice while Cain gave to God uncaringly.

God told Abraham to take his only son and offer him up as an…

The eagle is a great animal. The eagle can lift other animals much heavier than they are. An eagle doesn’t always soar and fly all the time. They go through a molting period where they light and others feed and care for them. A backslid Christian must be loved back into the flock. One doesn’t beat them down further, they help them back up. When the…

If you’ve sat under a preacher then you’ve likely heard that God will appear to you at least one time. He has warned everyone that you will appear before Him at your death and give an account for everything you did and didn’t do. If you are a child of God then He has given you mercy but if you are lost you lack His mercy. If you do not listen to Go…

We as Christians are to keep the fire burning. Since the beginning of sin, there was a mandatory death, a sacrifice offering for the sin. Before Jesus came, the sacrifices and offerings were an atonement, a covering of the sins. When Jesus came and died he paid the penalty for our sins that we couldn’t pay. Who is responsible for keeping the fire g…

The same word can mean different things. One example is the word, fish. This word can be used as a verb or a noun. To understand the word one must understand the context. In John 3:16 we see the word, world. We know that God did not send His son to save the world because we know that the world will be destroyed. The word refers to humankind, person…

You might think that you don’t have the smarts or knowledge that others may have but once you’re born again, you’ve been granted access to the “wise men training program”.

All the while Moses took the people out into the wilderness with each hard thing that came against them their reply was, “Let’s go back”. Going out into the wilderness was not Moses’ idea, but God’s.

To be victorious one must be first born again. One also must know that they are an over-comer.
