    E=mc2, but W.W.J.D.? The disciples, despite the presence of the Holy Spirit, were misunderstood. They were perceived, because of their exuberant behavior, as being loaded. Sauced. Drunk. How rare it is to experience real communication. The kind of communication where every word is ...read more

    God is the ultimate lifeguard because he saves us from eternal death and he is always on duty.

    God-Given Dreams (Mother's Day)

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,123 views

    Of all of the dreams that God has given to women it occurs to me that probably no other dream is of a higher nature than that of being a mother. A mother’s love for her children is, at times, nothing short of astonishing.

    “God-Given Dreams” Acts 16:9-15 Introduction To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self; to place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk ...read more

    Corinth has been long noted as a church with problems… and one of those problems was disruptions, disruptions during worship.

    I read Warren Wiersbe exposition of this passage and some of the comments are from him and Richard Pratt, "Holman New Testament Commentary."
