    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Our God is holy; the reason why you may be living an unholy life is that YOU haven’t done what you are supposed to do to stop it and you may have been defeated into thinking it’s impossible to live a holy life. However, be informed today that it is incumbent on you, it behooves you—which ever way ...read more

    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Sexual immorality will easily come to mind as an agent of defilement of a holy life; furthermore, a person who has indulged in making the body unclean has also grieved the Holy Spirit and is about crucifying Jesus a second time! (Ephesians 4:30, Hebrews 6:6). We have been taught in the scripture ...read more

    God is all powerful. Yet He allows Satan to carry out his deceitful and destructive activities—within certain limits—for a purpose.

    We live in a world full of trouble and problems; there are problems after problems. Pollution, natural resources running out, population growth outstripping resources worldwide, etcetera.

    Faith does not rest on the heart like foam on beer, said Martin Luther. Gideon's faith is active in this episode as he the spiritual idolatry of his own people.

    How was your first day of school? Did the teacher give you a test? Were you assigned any projects? Did you get any homework at all? In my experience the first day of school was a day to get books, meet the teacher, and catch up with friends. It was probably one of the easiest days of the school ...read more

     | 4,469 views

    We need to restore to society a common moral code by being a light of Christ actively involved in our communities. Religion should be in government but government must not be in religion

    As we struggle to understand to live out our faith and God’s will in our lives, we know that God does in fact care about all of the issues we will address during our Tough Issues Sermon series.

    Change agent is the one that acts or exerts power to change and transform a difficult situation. A change agent is someone that produces or is capable of producing an effect, an active, or effecient cause.

    So Pharaoh asked them, "Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the Spirit of God." One of my favorite Bible characters that describes a change agent is Joseph the dreamer, the second youngest son of Jacob. Because of his dream, he was subject to the jealousy if his siblings ...read more

    “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness." This beatitude calls for an intense desire for righteousness. Are we actively and passionately seeking to be more and more like Jesus?

    There are two dangers in Christian life. First, is the danger of excessive activity, work without rest. Second, is the danger of too much withdrawal. Jesus calls to balance it.

    Mark 6:31-32 Come Rest a while He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while” —for there were many [people who were continually] coming and going, and they could not even find time to eat.

     | 4,361 views

    It is certainly possible for us to miss the presence of God wherever we are, and be immersed in many other activities. How about being focused on seeking an encounter with God?
