    Flesh And Bones

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Apr 9, 2007
    based on 17 ratings
     | 7,496 views

     | 12,304 views

    ‘Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all’. But is the same statement true when it is applied to our relationship with God? Is the same statement true when it is applied to our relationship with our fellow believers?

    Consequences – You Don’t Avoid Them Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
     | 121 views

    God has ordained that everything in this universe has consequences. That is why a whole network of scientific laws operate to make all things function. Consequences apply to human behaviour and we look into these. Consequences apply to Christians as well.

I want to begin by saying that I was raised in a small country church with a pastor who loved the Lord and His people, and proclaimed only the basics, like sin, repentance, salvation, ...read more
