When People Fail Each Other

December 11, 2016December 11, 2016 by Rhonda Ballance

Like Paul’s friends, we sometimes assume Christian leaders don’t need our support. 2 Timothy 4:9-18 9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. 13The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. 14 Alexander …

The Night The Angels Cried

December 11, 2016December 11, 2016 by Rhonda Ballance

Dr. Mike Murphy So many times, I have wondered what it must have been like. To have been present in the small town of Judea on that incredible night. To have watched the crowds as they filled the city. To have heard the first cry of an infant born. As those in Bethlehem that night looked into the peacefulness of the sky, I wonder if any knew how those cries would soon and forever change the world? As beautiful as the stars must have shown that night, I also wonder what the view was like that night from …

“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24

December 11, 2016December 11, 2016 by Rhonda Ballance

Heaven is a place where we shall never sin; where we shall cease our constant watch against an indefatigable enemy, because there will be no tempter to ensnare our feet. There the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. Heaven is the “undefiled inheritance;” it is the land of perfect holiness, and therefore of complete security. But do not the saints even on earth sometimes taste the joys of blissful security? The doctrine of God’s word is, that all who are in union with the Lamb are safe; that all the righteous shall hold on their …

Deception in Christianity Matthew 24: 4-5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many (KJV). II John 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to …

11.12.2016 The Syrian army managed to repel a Daesh attack on Syrian Palmyra, regaining full control over the embattled city, a source in militia reported. Earlier, it was reported that the Syrian armed forces together with local militias were engaged in fierce fights against the Daesh militants on the outskirts of the ancient city.

Daesh militants are carrying out intense attacks, but they have been repulsed,” the military source told RIA Novosti. According …

The true salvation is all found in Christ alone

December 11, 2016December 11, 2016 by Rhonda Ballance

To turn evangelism into that which tells people to ‘accept the Lord’ so that you can get your sins forgiven and go to heaven when you die, is to miss the mark of man’s true condition and absolute need of salvation. Man doesn’t just DO sin or wrong things. He is himself totally in darkness, an unfit creature to live with or even look upon the holiness of God. The truth is that man is dead and needs life; he is blind and needs light; he is utterly lost and needs the way; he lives a lie and needs the …
