Suffering is part of the process of changing us into people fit for the kingdom of God.

Everybody knows that Christians shouldn’t boast, right?

James 4

Contributed by Kyle Gray on May 20, 2009

James tells us how to turn hatred into humility, judgment into justice and boasting into belief.

Christians Are To Live For The Lord Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Nov 15, 2010

Christians are to live for the Lord by belonging to the Lord and each other and by accepting each other and appreciating them by not being judgmental or argumentative.

If Christians do not grasp the truth that Jesus Christ can return to earth at any time, they will not have the right motive or the right power to live! When we get up in the morning, we ...read more
