    based on 17 ratings
     | 4,042 views

    Paul did not directly pray for material blessings to bestowed upon the Ephesians but he prayed for them to be rooted in Christ.

    INTRODUCTION: What do you ask God for 2005? I used to ask God for new things every New Year, especially when I was still young and without God. Most of them are material things. I thought having them would make me a better person than the others. Then, I learned from the Bible that I don’t need ...read more

    Mistaking People For Gods

    Ayn Rand's philosophy would have led her, I think, if put in the position of Paul and Barnabas, to say, “bring on the sacrifice. I am a god!”

    When I was teaching, my religion class would always study the philosophy of Ayn Rand, a deracinated Jew whose ideal of rugged individualism influenced people like Alan Greenspan and Rush Limbaugh. Her notions would have led her, I think, if put in the position of Paul and Barnabas, to say, “bring ...read more

    Jesus tells the disciples to rejoice only in their filial relationship with the Father, whose power made the miracles and exorcisms happen.

    Saturday of the 26th Week in Course 2023 The prophet Baruch is acknowledged in the book of Jeremiah as a kind of protégé of the prophet Jeremiah; in fact, he certainly acted as Jeremiah’s scribe for a time.

    We will be looking at a study of Faith that is found in James 1:2–12. This study of Faith in James 1:2–12 will help us understand Faith’s great importance in the Christian life.

    James, the brother of Jesus, is the most likely author of this letter. It is obvious that the writer of the letter was a Jew. And there was no other Jew named James that would have fit the time period of the writing of this book (between 50-125 A.D.) that would have been so widely known to the ...read more

    The Resolution We've Already Broken

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 18, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,742 views

    We try to be perfect, in the "spotless" sense. But perfection means completion, and is tied to meeting others’ needs rather than achieving our goals. Jesus’ sacrifice was his "finished" accomplishment.

    It happens every January. Just as sure as snow and the Super Bowl, with or without your favorite team, it always happens in January. Broken resolutions. Broken resolutions are the order of the day in the first month of the year. Those noble impulses we all have to do better and to be better – we ...read more

    Who Are The All Souls & All Saints?

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 257 views

    All Saints and All Souls are the Church triumphant in Heaven in union with us, the church militant, on earth. There is a deep bond between the two communities, and we join them in Heaven to worship and praise God unceasingly when we come to worship God.

    To my understanding, there are three Church festivals that we celebrate grandly, far from knowing what is being genuinely celebrated. They are Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Out of these three festivals, the most misunderstood and distorted feast is Halloween. We are still fortunate that the ...read more
