    The church must speak Gods truth even when the government of the day no longer wishes to hear it. Pray we find the courage our brave veterans posses so that we too can defend the faith from enemies both foreign and domestic and enjoy our freedom.

    Freedom There are many kinds of freedom and many kinds of slavery. We can be free in our spirit and souls yet be enslaved and held prisoner by a government that does not recognize our God or our beliefs. We think of ancient times when Christians were brought into the arenas as slaves for the ...read more

    Romans 4:1-8 and James 2:14-26 do not contradict each other.

     | 4,303 views

    This is the second part of a message dealing with freedom in Christ. Having discussed the consequences of embracing works, Paul now concludes this section by asking some questions of those who have "fallen away from grace."

    Scripture “Paul’s doctrine of grace is dangerous!” cried the false teachers in Galatia. “It replaces law with license. Why, if we do away with our rules and abandon our high standards, the churches will fall apart.” Those first century false teachers, known as Judaizers or legalists, were not the ...read more

    Paul refuses to allow anything to be added to the gospel because such things steal the joy that comes from salvation by grace alone.

    Philippians 3:1-3 Sunday, May 26, 2002 One of the greatest truths from the Word of God is the truth that salvation is by grace through faith completely apart from any of our works. Yet there is something perverse within us that even when we know that truth we desire that there be a set of rules ...read more
