Do you remember hearing the old announcement that went like this..."Elvis has left the building!" When Elvis' entourage would make this announcement, the audience would feel sad and disappointed because they knew that they now had no chance of meeting their favorite entertainer. Now, imagine what happens when God leaves because He is rejected by you, or you continue to surround yourself with the w...

James tells us how God looks deep into our hearts and KNOWS what we are, or rather, who we are. When we have faith, but not good works, are we living a life of saving faith? Find out what Pastor Ben has...

Our financial or materialistic riches mean absolutely nothing to God. The only riches t...

Have you ever tried to convince yourself of something? Here's an example: Due to our occasional "stinking thinking", our mode of thinking might be a little on the negative side at times. The world around us tells us that if we turn to self-help books, videos, or teachings so that we can change our direction of thinking into the contrary. Although this might help a little, when we do this we are ac...
