    Jesus commended the church in Ephesus for their commitment in the midst of opposition, but unfortunately, He had to address their lack of passion for Him. They were a busy church, but they had lost their zeal for the Lord.

As we move through these letters in the coming weeks, bear in mind, these were written to literal, active ...read more

     | 17,433 views

    Man is designed to be a spiritual being. He will worship something, even if it's a false god. The truth has been diluted and compromised by many, and we live among many who are confused. There is an urgent need for spiritual discernment in our day.

It is foolish to believe everything we are told and much of what we see. Lies and deception were used to tempt ...read more

    These Israelite parents were to teach their children obedience morning and night, so these words would not become a matter of formal legalism, but a response based upon understanding. Remember obedience is formed when its a way of life.
