Natural Law And Christian Management Practices

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

With the exception of those sections dealing with “natural law” and its relationship to Christianity, I am indebted to the lectures of Beth Cabrera, The Great Courses Plus.com regarding the contributions of "positive psychology" to the field of management.

(If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) In Ephesians 6:5-9, we read that servants are to be obedient to masters.

Mr. Perfect

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Jan 19, 2014

And there is something bad about living with someone who is perfect, who never makes a mistake, it wears on you, and your relationship and your life.

There was a lady one time who wanted to get married, she had been dreaming about, thinking about, planning for it, she could wait for that day to arrive. Well, one day she had went to a social ...read more

Justified By Grace Not Legalism

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 3, 2023

Are we justified by grace or lawkeeping? Do Jesus and Paul contradict each other?

Paul explained how we are justified by grace, not works of the law. How did we receive the Holy Spirit? You irrational Galatians! Who put a spell on you? Jesus Christ was put on display as crucified before your eyes! I just want to know this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works ...read more

Delighting In God's Law

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 20, 2020

God's law is the basis for the psalmist to be blameless, and that is the basis for him to enjoy God's favour. The psalmist respects God's law, relies on it, delights in it, and asks God to teach him it. But can he be blameless? The answer is yes.

[This talk was quite dependent on PowerPoint slides. I’ve indicated where I used slides with ***] INTRODUCTION Today we’re looking at Psalm 119. One of Psalm 119’s claims to fame is the fact that it’s the longest chapter in the Bible. It’s 176 verses long! It’s way in the lead. In second ...read more

Iva4 The Law Hinders Growth Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 21, 2020

Paul uses the example of the athlete because it was something his readers were familiar with, and the idea he wants to convey to them here is that they began the Christian life with dedication and enthusiasm.

The Glory Of God’s Law

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 5, 2015

Psalm 19 is a song of praise to the glory of God’s law, even though David begins his song of praise in adoration toward God solely in terms of His glory in nature. Yet the most prominent feature of this psalm is praise to God for His law (His Word).

If It Can’t Save Us, Why Did God Give The Law?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 31, 2017

This sermon answers two big questions: 1. Why do I need the Law to make me aware of my sin? 2. Why would I want the Law to make me aware of my sin?

A Question: “If it can’t save us, why did God give the Law?” - Romans 3:19-20. - To clarify as we begin: when Paul here speaks of the Law, he has in mind the Mosaic Law given to Israel by God. - By extension, we could make similar point about the truth of God generally. - The Law does not save ...read more

Rich Young Ruler - Law Of God

Contributed by Samuel Young on Dec 14, 2014

The path to discipleship starts from the Law, then giving up all that you have to follow Jesus. How does the ten commandments teach us this concept? Jesus challenged the Rich Young Ruler to take his keeping the law one step beyond he expected.

The Fawn A couple weeks ago, we went to Yellowstone Park. While we were there, we saw a bear, some bisons, deer, elks, ground hogs, and many other smaller animals. Today I want to tell you a story about a family of deer. Let us pretend that this is the family of deer. Two young fawns and their ...read more

Laws From Heaven For Life On Earth Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Sep 25, 2021

What do you want out of life ? That is a pretty general question - but it is the one that is addressed in this proverb. The thing is that in this study we are looking at what people want from the perspective of God, not just what people or the "market" wants.

Should A Christian Keep The Law? (Pt. 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 1, 2021

Why do Christians seem to keep all Ten Commandments except the Sabbath? This message addresses the difference in the way New Testament deals with Old Testament moral versus ceremonial laws.

We are answering the question: Should a Christian Keep the Law? The biblical answer is yes and no. We should keep the moral commandments that are rooted in the immutable nature of God. God is holy. God is a moral being who holds people morally accountable. God does not change. So, the moral ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 12, 2024

This will be our third sermon in this series on “The Laws of Almighty God.” So far we have looked at two laws. 1. WE REAP WHAT WE SOW. 2. WE REAP IN A DIFFERENT SEASON THAN WHEN WE SOW.

Again, I remind you that a law is something that has been established that works every time for everyone! If it does not work every time for everyone it is not a law.

God saves our lives by conforming us to his Word by his Spirit.
