    We treat the faith like an "all you can eat buffet." We take what we want, and leave the rest. But can we really ignore whole servings of the Word of God?

    Celebrating In The Losers Cirlce Series

    Contributed by Tim George on Mar 17, 2001

     | 3,712 views

    James tells us the story of a rich man and a poor man who came to church one day. One appeared to be a winner – the other a loser. How should a group of losers who have been made winners by Christ treat such people?

That makes it all the more hurtful to some when someone like Ted Turner is quoted as saying, “Christianity is for ...read more

    Favoritism is a serious mistake because: 1. It is a sin. 2. Appearances can be deceiving 3. God opposes the proud.
