    Final Exhortations

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 3, 2007

     | 9,084 views

    *(Revised: December 2010) Paul exhorts us not to rest on our laurels, but to keep improving on what we are doing as a church. (Can also be used as a "farewell" message for Pastors leaving their church)

    EXHORTATIONS ARE UNIQUE EPILOGUES THAT ANNOUNCE THE JOYS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WELL-DOING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SOUNDING THE ALARM TO WARN AGAINST GROWING CONTENT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF FRUITFUL MINISTRY. THE CHURCH IS A LABOR OF LOVE AND CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO BY LABORING WITHOUT LOVING OR ...read more

    Of all the desires to have in this world it should be to know, love and serve God.

    WHEN IT COMES TO THE DESIRE OF THE LORD, I BELIEVE MATTHEW HENRY, MAY HAVE SAID IT THE BEST ON HIS COMMENTARY OF PSALM 37:4.HE WROTE, “TO DELIGHT IN GOD IS AS MUCH A PRIVILEGE AS A DUTY.

    What Is Our Ambition?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,457 views

    We can stray away from Jesus if we have the wrong ambitions for our churches.

    IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DELIBERATELY FAIL AT ANYTHING. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT "FAILING" IS THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF FAILURE ITSELF. THE GREATEST NEWS ABOUT FAILURE IS THAT FAILURE IN AND OF ITSELF IS NEVER FINAL. YOU CAN LEARN GREAT LESSONS FROM FAILURE IF YOU ARE ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,317 views

    Persecution is inevitable. In fact, trying to avoid it will not prevent it. Stand firm in the faith!

    THE PERSECUTION OF THE CHURCH BEGAN BEFORE IT WAS EVEN ESTABLISHED. IT STARTED WHEN SATAN STIRRED UP THE FEAR, GREED, AND RAGE IN THE HEART OF A MAN NAMED HEROD AND WIELDED HIM LIKE A SWORD TO PIERCE THE HEART OF JESUS CHRIST. IF SATAN COULD DESTROY THIS MESSIAH AS SOON AS HE ARRIVED, SATAN ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,031 views

    Some feel that they have "crossed the point of no return" in regards to habitual sin, mistakes, and blunders in life. Be set free by finding out how merciful and forgiving God really is toward your faults.

    WHEN IT COMES TO FREEDOM, I DON’T THINK THERE HAS EVER BEEN ANY THING GREATER IN THIS WORLD THAT HAS ARRESTED MORE PEOPLE INTO BONDAGE THAN UNNECESSARY GUILT. I CAN’T IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE STILL CARRY WITHIN THEM THE BURDEN OF PAST MISTAKES, HEAVINESS OF HEART OVER BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS AND ...read more

     | 3,031 views

    Because of the intense love that God has for us, I am assured that of all His attributes, the one nearest His heart is being "Father" to His children.

    WHEN I STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT, I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THERE ARE MANY REASONS GOD CHOOSES TO SAVES ALL OF US: TO BRING GLORY TO HIMSELF, TO APPEASE HIS JUSTICE, AND TO DEMONSTRATE HIS SOVEREIGNTY. BUT ONE OF THE SWEETEST AND MOST POWERFUL REASONS THAT GOD WORKS TO SAVE US IS SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS SO ...read more

    WE NEED BOUNDARIES! BECAUSE OF OUR SIN NATURE WE DON’T DO WELL TO GO BY ALL THE RULES. IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO WANT THINGS THE WAY WE WANT THEM AND DO THINGS THE WAY WE THINK THINGS SHOULD BE DONE.
