Read 1 Thessalonians 5:19. In churches today, there is much confusion about the Person and work of the Holy Spirit. Many falsely think they are praising the Holy Spirit when they dress immodestly, dance sensually and sing shallow religious words to a rock tune. Others babble in unbiblical tongues and claim the Holy Spirit enables […]
Each of us has experienced painful things in life. If you are like me, thankfulness has not always been my first reaction. We are not naturally thankful for pain, losses, cutting words, and sad news. However, we need to remember that above the clouds the sun is shining. That is true of life’s trials as […]
Why do some people continually run into problems? Why does conflict seem to follow them everywhere they go? Why do they often argue and disagree with those around them? Why do they often make poor choices that end up with regret? Though they may want to change, why do they seldom succeed? Why is it […]
This evening we are going to have the Lord’s Supper. Jesus said that the purpose of the Supper is to remember His death. Remembering what Christ did for us on the cross ought to have an impact on the way we live. In the next few minutes, want to show you from Romans 12:1-2 one […]
Read 1 Thessalonians 5:17. What does this verse mean? If we were on our knees praying 24 hours of every day, we would get nothing else done. If we prayed all day long, we would not be able to provide for our families, rear our children for God, keep the house, be a witness for […]

(Psalm 100:1) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. (2) Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. (3) Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. (4) […]
Our message this evening is somewhat of a sequel to the morning message. This morning we learned about revenge. This evening we are going to learn about “The Power of a Soft Answer”. Harry Ironside wrote, “It is impossible for man to estimate correctly the power for good or evil that lies in the tongue. […]
In PNG, payback is a way of life. Since the superstitious people do not believe in accidents, harm done to any relative will often result in severe payback. In our culture, we may respond to evil a bit more cautiously, but often with no less evil intent. One commentator identified four ways we can react […]
I read about a woman who saw a few bees flying into the attic of her house through a small hole. She knew she should block the hole and stop them, but she did nothing. Months passed with no sign of harm until one day the ceiling of her house caved in under the weight […]
