    Do you realize how much God really loves you? The answer to that question has to be, "No." Because you can never comprehend the height, the breadth, and the depth of God's love for you.

    INTRODUCTION Unless you’re an only child, you grew up with siblings—brothers and sisters. I have an older sister and a younger brother. I’m a middle child, that’s why I’m so well adjusted. If you’re a middle child you know what I mean: In the petty fights that ...read more

If you turn your young one over your knee, you say “I’m doing this for your own good”. When we teach our kids to save, we want them to be good stewards of what God ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is always eager to stir up repentance and change and heal the brokenhearted. But can we be saved without repenting and adopting a firm purpose of amendment?

    John 8: 10-11 Luke 6: 45-48 Psalm 50 Romans 6: 1-19 One of the greatest scandals afflicting our decadent society, one that has even bled over into the Church, is the phenomenon of public figures claiming to be Christian, or Catholic, attending worship and taking communion, and then going out on ...read more

    If you want to be a friend of God, you need to be a friend to God and get to know Him, up close and personnel. Developing an intimate relationship with God takes time and effort.

    So what is to be the Christian's relationship to sin? Strictly speaking, he should not have such a relationship!

    THE CHRISTIAN AND SIN. 1 John 3:1-10. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection.

    God the Son invaded time and space and took on our humanity. God the Creator of the galaxies, came down through forty and two generations and as someone has said, “put on a robe of flesh” becoming just like us yet without sin.

    (Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. (Gal 4:4 NKJV) But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, (Gal 4:5 NKJV) to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive ...read more
