    Empathic Compassion: Experiencing Your Pain In My Heart

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 18, 2021
     | 1,906 views

    When I think of Jesus I think of empathy and compassion; they are embedded Jesus' salvific mission. Too often clergy and Christians take a propositional approach to the Gospel. Loving and caring for people according to the example Jesus set requires us to demonstrate empathy and compassion.

    I carefully watched him as he walked down the hall; he was dressed in a long flowing white coat. His head hung unpersuasively from his shoulders. The doctor's demeanor suggested he was intensely contemplating what he would say to us, or he was envisioning another appointment. Halfway down ...read more

    Cherry-Picking The Word Of God

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 8, 2025
     | 669 views

    We must approach the Bible without preconceived ideas. We should let it speak for itself. The Holy Spirit never contradicts Himself. If a scripture contradicts our theology, our theology is probably wrong. As Jesus said, "The scripture cannot be broken."

    CHERRY-PICKING THE WORD OF GOD 2 Timothy 2:15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMON: 5 TIPS TO FIND A GOOD HUSBAND 1st TIP: Find a man who loves you & is loyal. 2nd TIP: “ “ “ ‘s fun & makes you laugh. 3rd TIP: “ “ hard worker, makes a good living. 4th TIP: “ “ ...read more

    Rapid Advance Of The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 6, 2024
     | 625 views

    Thessalonica was a wonderful testimony to a rapid advance approach to ministry. Paul mentions being there three sabbaths (Acts 17:2). There were many who were won to Christ and built up in faith in this short time before the team, Paul, Silas and Timothy moved on.

    My wife and I took part in a nine-month ministry training program called Rapid Advance. The name of the training came from this chapter and from a summary of how the Gospel moved in the book of Acts. Paul did not spend his years of ministry planting a single church and trying to perfect it. He ...read more

    "Body Talk" Series

    Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Jan 29, 2002
    based on 100 ratings
     | 10,879 views

    Paul is trying to get his readers to take a holistic approach to faith and to recognize that we don’t just honor God with our words, or our songs, or attitudes, or our spirits – but honoring God also has to do with how we manage our bodies.

    “Honor God with your body,” says the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:20 (NLT) I don’t know how many times I’ve read through and studied 1 Corinthians over the years – dozens, hundreds? I’ve preached on it and led Bible studies through it. But as I was reading it again this week, this ...read more

    We all know that the Bible tells us that it is "more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:25. However, as we approach the time of year when we think about giving and receiving, even the biggest Scrooge among us likes to receive a gift. For ma

    The Ancient Of Days (All Saints Day 2022)

     | 1,513 views

    Daniel 7 tells us that the court is seated (Daniel 7:10) as the Son of Man (Jesus) approaches the Ancient of Days (God the Father) who will judge these four kingdoms represented by the four beasts! Today we will talk about our faith, the four beasts, the Ancient of Days.

    THE ANCIENT OF DAYS Text: Daniel 7:1- 3, 13 - 18 Daniel 7:1-18 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.

    We love because God first loved us, especially when we were completely unlovable. We must remember it is God who made our relationship with Him possible, and Christians should approach Him with confidence knowing His love for us is without end.

    No Fear in Love 1 John Bible Study, Part 11 1 John 4:14-21 Introduction - A person saved by love (Christ’s love for us) must be able to show love -- We may have trouble loving perfectly, but there is a difference between: • Loving perfectly, and, • Not loving at all - ...read more

    Jesus Our Model For Prayer Series

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Apr 17, 2016
     | 3,866 views

    When we approach our Heavenly Father in prayer we need to understand that He knows us better than we know ourselves. For that reason we need not be afraid to bring before Him our doubts and fears as well as our questions about faith and life.

    Jesus our model of prayer Matthew 6:5-14 Prayer 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.

    God approached Cain with the question, "Where is your brother?". This question was for Cain to be brought back to the truth of his situation! Cain’s response was a lie and he knew it. “I don’t know” and "Am I My Brother's Keeper"? Do we tell these lies?

    You’ll never understand God if you ONLY approach Him as your King, your Shepherd, or even your Father. You must also see Him as your Husband before you can understand how intimate your relationship with God truly is.
