    Why did John baptize Jesus? And why so quickly? Granted Jesus said it was to "fulfill all righteousness", but what exactly could that mean?

    OPEN: A little girl wanted to get baptized but her mother wanted her to attend some classes to make sure she knew what she was committing herself to.

    How Christ followers can impact society by teaching with God’s love and voting for what God says about homosexuality to people who are in the great bondage of homosexuality.

    Towards the end of the last presidential debate there was finally a question on something that has the potential to be far more devastating to more people’s lives than a terrorist attack or even a war. The moderator asked “Homosexuality, is it a choice?” -One of the candidates answered with a ...read more

    Following the movement of the Ark in early Israelites history, we learn that God is holy and that means that he is not a commodity, but Lord. It also means that even though Joy is appropriate and even commanded, God must be approached with reverence befor

    Last week we saw that the number one characteristic of God is that he is holy. We need to understand this about God so we can make sure we are worshipping him and not some caricature of him we have made up in our mind. Do you know what a caricature is?

     | 6,932 views

    We live in a time when the value of fathers is at an all-time low, yet statistics show us that fathers are needed more than ever. Jesus’ relationship to God the Father serves as an example to us, just how important a father is in his children’s lives.

    What is it with our infatuation with having kids? Why do we do it? What is that desire, that passion that burns within us that makes us want children? Is it our desire to see ourselves, literally, in another person? Is it our desire to love and be loved? What is it? Its mysterious to me. And ...read more

    If You Want Joy

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 13, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,784 views

    Genuine joy comes after we do what Christ bids us do, and is grounded in our relationship to Him. In fact, the real issue is not our joy but His.

    If you want joy! What a ridiculous premise! Of course you want joy. Of course we want to be happy. Of course all of us want to feel deep satisfaction with life. We want joy. That's just self-evident. The trouble is, we don't know how to get that joy. We don't understand where joy comes from, how ...read more

    Scripture Luke 16 primarily deals with the topic of possessions. There are three sections in the chapter. The first section is the parable of the dishonest manager (16:1-13). Jesus responds to the ridicule of the Pharisees in the second section (16:14-18). And the third section is about the rich ...read more

     | 8,066 views

    The rise of Christianity in the West propelled Western nations to great advances in science, economics and politics. This Christian foundation is the basis for America's freedom and greatness, and is in great danger as America turns away from God.

    This week, America celebrates 239 years of political independence. But Freedom is more threatened now than at any time since the General Howe nearly defeated Washington’s army on the shores of Long Island in 1776. Friday’s ruling by the US Supreme Court is not ultimately about ...read more
