Have you noticed that unhealthy foods often smell so good and taste so nice and healthy foods are not as appealing? A wise person will discipline himself to eat healthy and not despise it. The same is true about Bible preaching. Other things may be more exciting or fun, but biblical preaching is good for […]
This evening we are going to begin a brief study in the second shortest book in the Bible – the book of 2 John. It was written by the apostle John probably shortly after he wrote 1 John, somewhere about 97 AD. He called himself the elder. By that time, he was an old man […]
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?

Sin is like lollies or candy, it comes in all different sizes, shapes, and flavours, but none of it is good for you. Sin is anything that displeases God including lies, lust, anger, hatred, selfishness, not tithing, cheating, stealing, immorality, being mean, neglecting Bible and prayer, swearing, dressing like the world, not putting God first, […]
(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. […]
