    It is a privilege to face trials which grow us in our sanctification. The book The Heavenly Man is used as an illustration.

    This story is a little bit convoluted but the message is important. Our son Tommy graduated 8th grade in May of 2007. One of his eighth grade teachers was Tim Bratt. Tim is a solid Christian man who lives his faith. During that year they read The Heavenly Man and discussed and reported on it in ...read more

    Today we finish up the beatitudes. They all work together-being poor in spirit causes me to have godly sorrow. Being meek allows me to be merciful and thus-a peacemaker. If I hunger and thirst for righteousness I will be pure in heart. All of these are important in dealing with persecution.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part four) Matt. 5:10-12 Today we finish up the beatitudes. And in looking at them I can see how they all work together-Being poor in spirit causes me to mourn (have godly sorrow). Being meek (kind, gentle and humble) allows me to be merciful.

    A brief review of these terms and their differences.

    The terms Believer, Christian, Disciple, Apostle and even Saint are related, and often interchangeable, but they certainly are not always synonymous. Too often people suppose those titles have the exact same meanings. That is not accurate. Believers. The first use of the word “believed” is found ...read more
