    Reflection We read in the Acts (Acts 22:30; 23:6-11) that Paul came down and spoke as a Pharisee realising that there were two groups. They were: 1. Pharisees, & 2. Sadducees. Pharisee believed in resurrection, spirits and angels. Sadducee did not believe all three. The debate broke out ...read more

    We all deal with STRESS in different ways. There is GOOD STRESS and there is BAD STRESS!

    Good stress, also called “eustress”, is very beneficial to our life. It means we stretch ourselves to be our very best. For years we've believed that stress is a bad thing - it damages our health. But stress can have a good side. Illus: For example, for a violinist to make music, the strings ...read more

    Despite our differences, gratitude can bring us together and foster unity.

    You know, I was reading this survey from last year that said a lot of people who supported Trump or Biden didn't have any close friends who supported the other guy. Kinda crazy, right? We tend to hang out with people who think the same way we do, and that can sometimes make us forget about what we ...read more

    The resurrection of Jesus is hard to believe, but it is true. And being true, it makes a real difference in our lives.

    A. One day an associate minister was teaching a class of second-graders about the resurrection when one student asked, “What was the first thing that Jesus said right after He came out of the grave?” 1. Well, this was a question of great theological importance, and the associate ...read more

    How does Christ's authority differ from the various authorities we face each day

    My least favorite classes in my undergrad political science classes dealt with ‘political theory’. But I will always remember the discussion we had around the concept of ‘authority’ and what made for legitimate authority. Keep in mind this was at the winding down of Vietnam ...read more

    While God’s judgment is on specific sins, these sins result from our sinful nature which must be changed to find acceptance by God.

    Grace and Sin’s Judgment Part I Romans 2:1-6 I. God’s Judgment On Sin A. There is a psychological defense mechanism called projection. 1. Defined, it refers to our tendency to project or attribute to others unpleasant or sinful issues we deal with. 2. For example, someone may have the ...read more

    We must resist the pressures to secularise our faith and to accept the beliefs of other gods. We must seek the peace of God in His Word, not in the words of humans.

    God requires us to come with Clean Hands and a Clean Heart ZECHARIAH 5:1 – 11 INTRODUCTION. God requires us to come to Him with clean hands and a clean heart. This means that we need to look clean but we also need to be clean inside. I find it interesting that the world so often concentrates on ...read more

    In Romans 12:2 we read, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

    It seems that one of the easiest things in this world to do is follow the crowd and let others do our thinking for us. The lost world is convinced we are so dumb we can not think for ourselves. For example, we cannot even listen to the president of the United States address this nation on ...read more
