The greatest need for humanity is not peace on earth, or food and clothing. It is the preaching of the gospel of Christ. As Christians, we are the ones who have been charged to spread the word of God to the lost.
Idolatry in any age is unacceptable to God. Though the Jews at one time enjoyed the favor of the Almighty, they squandered their position through the vain pursuit of impotent idols.
Truth is absolute, and a knowledge of truth, impacting a humble, submissive spirit, will lead to unity and conformity in practice. No man has the right to accept what he likes, and reject what he doesn’t like.
There is the true interpretation of a passage, and then there are other interpretations which men assert to their own peril. We can know the truth, but we must set aside our own preconceptions, and let the word of God say what it says!
This sermon was preached to the West Side congregation to explain why the elders determined to cease monetary support of brother Bobby Holmes. The elders, together with brother Stan Cox had studied on several occasions with brother Holmes, differed with him regarding his teaching of divorce, and asked brother Cox to address the subject, and explain the events which led to the ending of his support. The sermon is, in part, an examination of brother Holmes’ teaching on the subject.
Serving Christ takes committment, and a part of that commitment taking your spot in the pew on the Lord’s day.
Too many, when faced with the choice of either ceasing their sin, or rejecting the Bible, choose to reject the Bible.
Luke 9:62. A Christian must commit himself to a dedicated life of service to His Lord and God.
Profanity is ubiquitous in our society. It is sin, and followers of God must keep their speech pure.
It’s a shame that in America, too often people follow the lead of such jerk athletes as Bode Miller or Terrell Owens rather than the Apostle Paul.
The Gospel gives us reason to be confident in our hope, and our ability to cope in this world.
Five scriptural characteristics or Measures of a strong, vital local congregation.
May we recognize the foolishness of trying to meld good with evil, righteousness with ungodliness, compromise with valor. May we all serve God with singleness of heart!
After a server crash, and domain dispute, we are finally back online. It will take a while to get the content back online, so give us a few weeks, and come back to see what will hopefully be a “new and improved” web site.
Thanks!

The fact that the viewing of pornography is done “late at night” and in “secret” indicates the illicit nature of the activity. The tempted individual should flee these circumstances, lest he fall. The spouse (wife or husband) or parent should be aware of any secretive behavior, and be ready to investigate if suspicions are present.
