If We can understand that God the Father wants us as fathers to be wise, acquire understanding so we can direct our families and our lives. God the Father is a Role ...read more

     | 2,605 views

    Our Sovereign LORD uses His word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to get us to stop and consider that the walk we claim to have with Him sometimes needs an honest diagnosis and correction.

    The Scriptures are harmonious. That is, they are all woven together without discrepancy or contradiction in God's communication with His creation. He does not send "mixed messages", nor does He have to add or delete anything that has been presented in the Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17; ...read more

     | 19,339 views

    All of us do it. We compare ourselves to others and by doing so we expose ourselves to one of two things----pride or low self esteem. neither is healthy. Paul teaches us in this passage to keep our eyes on the prize not on other people.

    THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS “The Comparison Trap” Philippians 3:12-4:1 One of my heroes in the NT is the apostle Paul. If anyone had the right to brag, it would be him.

     | 5,560 views

    This passage is basically a biography, a spiritual biography of Paul’s life. I think it would begin with a statement like this----I am absolutely satisfied with Jesus but in no way am I satisfied with myself.

    So if we go to Webster, this is the definition we will see of a family... A family is a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household. But you and I know the family is much more than that.

The other is the family which is established early in the book of Genesis. God designed the family and God designed ...read more
