    I read an article by Shane Pruitt titled, “Nine unbiblical statements Christians believe”. Today I'll share some of those. Although they're not biblical they do hold some elements of truth so it’s important for us to gain clarity on these statements.

    Galatians 5:1–6 (NKJV) We’re talking about freedom today. The freedom we have in Christ. But many misunderstand that freedom. Galatians 5:1 (NKJV) Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. When I study a Bible ...read more

    To be new in Christ means to "Quit" being "of the world." What are you "quitting" today? Those who take this message to heart and begin enacting some of these principles, will begin see the breakthrough they’ve been needing, wanting, and desiring.

    While I was preparing to write the message for today, the Holy Spirit asked me, “Where are my people getting their milk from?” As I began writing the first words, the Holy Spirit asked me again, “Where are my people getting their milk from?” With each word I wrote, the question became more ...read more

    THANKFUL FOR THE CROSS Gal. 6:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. WHAT’S A MOTTO. As a new paratrooper, I was struck by all the T-shirts on base emblazoned with the motto "Death from above!"

    A sermon for Commitment Sunday.

    We often hear someone saying of someone else, “HE HAS AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM.”

    What do people mean when they say that? They mean that person has an attitude that is not right about some things in his life. This was exactly what James was saying about people in our text. For example, many think the Bible condemns people for having money. The Bible does not! HOWEVER, ...read more
