    The Way to Pray.

    The focus this month of March is prayer. Prayer is something which most Christians do without even thinking. We normally go through a routine of how we pray and we speak supposedly to God and if we aren’t careful it becomes a rut and a drag to pray, due to it being a repetition. I want you to ...read more

    Are you selling your soul to evil without realizing it? How do we let God really be in charge in our lives? What are some of the fads Christians fall into- that they shouldn’t.

    What The Body Of Christ Needs

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jul 11, 2003
    based on 39 ratings
     | 7,031 views

    Using the metaphor of a body, I believe that for this church to function properly as Christ would have it function, as well as each us individually, there are certain body parts that ALL of us must possess.

    WHAT THE BODY OF CHRIST NEEDS I CORINTHIANS 12:12-18 INTRODUCTION: Throughout the New Testament the church is likened to a physical body made up of many members each functioning in a different capacity but all being part of the same unity and working together for the proper functioning and benefit ...read more

    Stewardship Is Lordship

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Sep 27, 2002
    based on 424 ratings
     | 42,359 views

    When we think of stewardship, we often see it merely as a matter of our giving of money to God and the church. Giving of tithes and offerings is an important aspect of stewardship, but secondary. Stewardship is a reflection of my relationship with God.

    Stewardship is Lordship Proverbs 3:5-10 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to your navel, and marrow ...read more

    based on 138 ratings
     | 16,511 views

    This looks at the Biblical doctrine of the Trinity from the testimonies of the church fathers and from the Old Testament.

    Three Persons Historically, the greatest attack on the doctrine of the Trinity has been targeted at the person of Jesus Christ. Heresy has primarily centered around the question of ‘who Jesus is’. Therefore, up to this point I have focused on the identity and deity of Jesus Christ. If someone does ...read more

    Each day’s work of Creation closes with the divine evaluation, “it was good.” Only the work of the sixth day, on which the Lord created humanity, earned ultimate approval—“very good.”

    All hope of man’s redemption is founded on Christ, in Whom alone are all complete fullness, perfections, and sufficiency. There is a completion or a filling up, in him, so as to leave nothing wanting.

As he was returning home one of the squash seeds he had purchased fell from his pocket onto the ground. It happened that within a few feet was another seed of a different type.
