The Thing About Hope by Eddie Thompson 6/26/2013 7:47:38 AM
The thing about hope is that you never know you have it until you need it. Hope isn't something that registers outwardly much. Oh, it can be seen in the twinkle of an eye or in the spring of a step, but it isn't something you consciously wield, like ... more

Better Way by Eddie Thompson 6/20/2013 8:15:46 AM
Jesus rebuked the multitude of gawking people who were motivated by miracles to chase after him, saying that “an evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign.” (Matthew 12:39) Despite that, most churches, if asked to list the things they would... more

Don't Offend Anyone by Cindy Wyatt 6/19/2013 5:06:29 PM
The gospel of Jesus Christ offends some people, but it is still the truth.... more

Christianity 101 by Eddie Thompson 6/6/2013 8:14:27 AM
Love may be one of the most common words in the vocabulary of a Christian, but its frequent use does not guarantee its presence in a person or a church, much less a strategy for church growth and governance. The administration of love can only t... more

Our Church by Eddie Thompson 6/4/2013 7:47:18 AM
What should our churches look like? Probably what our community looks like. Our church will be diverse because the focal point will not be economics, race, or any other dividing force; people of all backgrounds will come because the love of God ... more

Giving To Get by Eddie Thompson 5/30/2013 5:52:56 AM
The Bible teaches us that God blesses us when we give to the needy. We truly can't out-give God! The whole "some thirty, some sixty, some an hundred" fold increase from God in return for our giving has become the rallying cry of those who look to imp... more

Child-like Trust by Eddie Thompson 5/28/2013 5:51:58 AM
Is there anything more precious than the love and trust of a child? Anything more tragic than the lost innocence and betrayal of a child's violated trust? At some point in our lives, each of us become that little child who is discovering for the... more

Spiritual Gifts by Eddie Thompson 5/24/2013 7:12:13 AM
The church in Corinth was hopelessly lost when it came to the use of spiritual gifts. Chapter 12 and Chapter 14 are completely devoted to correcting their ignorance of the Holy Spirit. The problem for us is that preachers use Paul’s detailed, specifi... more

An Oracle of God by Eddie Thompson 5/23/2013 7:14:56 AM
It's not easy being an Oracle of God! Certainly, there are those in every church who sit in our pews who are nevertheless doomed to judgment. As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, we must preach the gospel to as many as possible. Whosoe... more

Old Verse New Nature by Eddie Thompson 5/22/2013 7:47:30 AM
Man is not only born in sin, separated from God, he has a nature that is alienated from God, that loves sin and hates righteousness. In Scripture this is known as the carnal man, the flesh or the old man. This carnal nature has the character tra... more

The All Seeing Eye! by Clarence Prince 5/20/2013 9:52:45 AM
In all that we do or say, we must be aware that there is an all Seeing Eye watching us; therefore, we must be mindful of God as He is the all Seeing Eye! Then, even though, He will allow things to happen, and some people may think that He doesn’t see... more

Let's Not Hold Back by Eddie Thompson 5/16/2013 8:16:18 AM
Brothers and Sisters:
Obviously, our romanticizing of the “New Testament Church” centers on that scripture at the very genesis of the church, beautifully presented in Acts 2:42-47. The point is that even in an age when the new smell of Chris... more

The Disillusioned by Eddie Thompson 5/14/2013 7:21:05 AM
I personally know men and women whose giftings exceed my own, whose anointing from God is powerful and effective, yet who sit on the sidelines today, unwilling to join the fight in the traditional church setting because they sincerely believe th... more

Church Built On Love by Eddie Thompson 5/10/2013 6:31:44 AM
My dad and mom founded Maranatha Assembly of God as an independent prayer meeting around their kitchen table in 1974. At the time, we really didn’t fit in with any of the local churches. Dad’s family had been Baptist, but he was a devout heathen. In ... more

Kingdom Communications by Eddie Thompson 5/7/2013 6:58:28 AM
When it comes to communication, our world is becoming increasingly high-tech. The popularity of things like Twitter and Facebook might cause some to think the Bible is too old-school. If only people knew. Several times this week I have expe... more

National Day of Prayer by Eddie Thompson 5/2/2013 7:07:00 AM
Jena just finished up our National Day of Prayer Event. It was good to join in prayer with people from different denominations and churches as we lifted up our voices unto God. We prayed for our national, state, and local leaders. We are instru... more
