    Muscular Christianity

    The Faith which Paul taught is the Faith that is needed for Christianity to thrive in our day. That Faith is nothing less than muscular Christianity.

    Christianity has been feminised in our day. I don’t mean that men are unwelcome among the churches or that there is overt feminist anger toward men. What I do mean is that acting manly—accepting responsibility to provide guidance and to build up the penitent, maintaining vigilance while standing ...read more

    Generic Christianity

    The push is on for Christians to be less separated and more like everyone else. That’s a generic Christianity. God wants a separated people who let Him be their leader.

    GENERIC CHRISTIANITY 1 Samuel 8:4-21 Generic – If you have ever had to purchase any type of medication, you certainly have heard of that word before. Generic means that there is no brand name, only a common content description used by every manufacturer. One generic is the same as the next and ...read more

    A sermon on helping to grow your Christian walk in the actions that you take as a Christian

    I. A. Christian Action: The action that characterizes a Christ-centered life. The relationship you have with Christ causes a “want-to” in you. You “want-to” be like Christ, therefore, you “want-to” show others Christ’s love, and you do that through your actions. 1. Christian action is ...read more

    The Christian In The Church

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 27, 2006
     | 2,508 views

    All Christians are called into God’s Church. And all are given gifts that they may play their part in the life and ministry in the Church. Each person’s gifting needs recognition, not least by church leadership

    In that passage from Ephesians chapter four that we heard, Paul begins by saying that he wants his Christian readers to live lives that are worthy of the calling they have received; lives which are ’worthy’ in the sense of being worth-while and of refelcting that calling- that their calling by God ...read more

    - Even though we are born again in Christ, we are not removed from our human nature. - As Christians we are continually in the process of sanctification, the “work of God,” which we are to participate in. - Those Peter writes to us that we are to be

    I. The Eight Virtues (vv. 5-7) A. Faith i. It is by faith alone that we are saved through grace, but this saving grace doesn’t continue on by itself. ii. Peter calls for us all to add to our faith, which in NT times meant to add the richness of God to your life. B. Goodness i. This is an ...read more

    Authentic Christianity

     | 14,420 views

    The church was never meant to be a “secret society” or an “exclusive group of elites.” We were never meant to exist for Sunday! We were never meant to be a club of positive thinkers who would tell each other how good we are.

    Authentic Christianity INTRODUCTION: If you want to know what someone is all about, just listen to what they say. Jesus once said: “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh”. The Living Bible puts it this way: “Whatever is in the heart overflows into speech”. Sometimes I ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,235 views

    In nearly every aspect of a Christians life, they feel like they’re on a treadmill. They can never quite do enough or be quite good enough. And just when they think they are up to speed, someone turns up the machine, and they are playing catch-up again.

    Treadmill Christianity Titus 3:3-7 In 2001 we were about to have our first child and I decided that if I was going to be the dad that would play catch, and soccer in the yard then I needed to get into better shape. So I started going out to the local college and running. Every night Trista would ...read more

    ARE YOU FOR REAL? EXPOSING COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY INTRODUCTION: For every good thing that God gives us, satan attempts to create a counterfeit.

    Alcohol And Christianity

     | 4,870 views

    Alcohol and Christianity do not go together. If we are truly temples for Christ and we are to glorify God in all we do, we should remain clean and pure.

    Alcohol and Christianity Several scriptures encourage us to stay away from alcohol. It doesn’t actually forbid everyone from drinking alcoholic beverages. Old Testament Leviticus 10:9 Numbers 6:3 Deuteronomy 14:26; 29:6 Judges 13:4.7,14 1 Samuel 1:15 Proverbs 20:1; 31:4,6 Isaiah 5:11,22; 24:9; ...read more
