    Jesus often spoke in parables. He used common experiences such as fishing and farming in His parables to teach a valuable lesson. Baseball is a very common activity in our culture, so I would like to use it to illustrate the Christian life.

    We need the church community, and the church needs us. Therefore we need to meet regularly for fellowship, and participate actively in encouraging one another.

    This passage tells us 2 things: (1) we need the church; (2) the church needs us to play our part. You cannot live a good Christian life all by yourself. We need to be part of a community called the church. This is even more so, the Bible says, as "we see the Day approaching." We are drawing ...read more

It used to be that many dog obedience schools operated by teaching the dog, “you better obey me, because I’m your master. And if you don’t obey me, bad things will ...read more

    The Gift Of Tongues Series

    based on 37 ratings
     | 4,923 views

    This is a Scriptural examination of the gift of tongues. The Word of God defines the gift as well as describes its purpose, proper usage and active duration within the Church.

    Of all the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, none has provoked more interest and fascination than that of the gift of tongues. This is not only true of the last one hundred years, with the advent of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement, but even in the 1st Century as is evidenced by the ...read more

    Laziness is a rebellion and wickedness and it brings destruction of the temple/body od Christ. As living stones we are called to live, be active in the building and not sit in the wall.

    Laziness Do you like to be called lazy? Of course not. Who would? But would you believe that the Holy word of God calls somebody lazy? Well, it does. So let’s start with pointing our fingers to someone who was described in the Bible as lazy - this is the safe start. Titus 1,12-13 : "Cretans are ...read more
