    God calls us to encourage one another and hold one another accountable to pursue our love relationship with Christ.

    Many non-Christians mistakenly assume Christianity is just another religion. This is partly because many Christians have taken a religious approach to the Christian life. Rather than focusing on a growing love relationship with Christ, they focus on “dos and don’ts,” and proving they are right by ...read more

    We need to be sure we avoid being distracted from setting our hearts on developing a growing love relationship with God.

    In Matthew 6, Jesus emphasizes our love relationship with God. He uses the word “Father” 11 times, showing the importance of that relationship. Our relationship to the Father as His children is a most remarkable and incredible relationship. “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave ...read more

    To An Unknown God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 15, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,722 views

    Our world is incurably religious and is filled with people on a spiritual search. We find it easy to talk religion, but our calling is to share our relationship with the living Christ.

    We are incurably religious! Wherever you go, you will find that people are religious. We are groping for something we never quite find. Ride with me up and down Sixteenth Street, here in the city, or out New Hampshire Avenue, past Colesville. The architecture is ample proof that people are ...read more

    Pretended religion doesn't work, but where believers come together in unity and pray, the anointing of God comes and the demonic powers are on the retreat.

    The Pharisees: Stuck In Correctness Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,777 views

    It is easier to be smug than satisfied, to be correct than compassionate, to be religious than real. What we need to do is to cry, "Lord forgive my sin."

    The surest formula for unhappiness is have to be right, all of the time. If you are expected to be one hundred percent correct, never making a mistake, no blunders allowed, then you are asking for a serious heart attack, for high blood pressure, and for plain old unhappiness. It’s an awesome burden ...read more
