    Make sure whatever you do leads to either you or others being built up because knowledge puffs up but love builds up.

    I’d like you all to come to a Barbecue. You won’t all fit at our place, so I’ve booked the Apollonia Temple Plaza. The evening will begin with the usual festivities. First there’ll be the slaughtering of the bull as an offering to the gods. If you’d like, you can join the procession beneath the ...read more

    A Small Confession... I have something to confess to you today. Something that may forever change the way you look at me. Something that may lower me in your esteem.

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,872 views

    Like Job’s friend Zophar, we eagerly find faults with others, thinking that pointing out their mistakes is all that is needed, and failing to build a relationship first. Contrast with Christ, who "became sin" for us.

    We are studying the very human issue of faultfinding during this Lenten season. We are using the story of Job and his friends, if you call them that, as they tried to console him, no, really, instruct him in his misery. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, three miserable comforters, Job said, because ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,474 views

    Christians can delude themselves into thinking that they are, somehow, better than others.

    As we study the “Life of Christ” we can make some observations that are just as true in this day-and-age as they were during the time of Christ. 1. We see the religious leaders looking at everyone else and judging them for a violation of some law that the leaders had ...read more
