    Can A Christian Use Marijuana?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 28, 2015
     | 5,867 views

    With the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana, the Christian must evaluate if using pot is an acceptable practice or a sin.

    In those States where the use and sell of Marijuana is illegal, the answer is straightforward. The Christian must abide by the laws of secular government (Romans 13:1-2, 5) which means that the use and sell of Marijuana is clearly prohibited. As our Nation moves closer to the legalization of ...read more

    America was founded on the principle of Christian Liberty, where 95% of those who settled here were Christians. Today only about 5% of Americans are Christian. This country has traded Freedom for slavery. The answer to get back to our heritage is

    Switching Gears To Freedom Eleutheria! Eleutheria is the Greek, word for freedom. When Paul penned this word it spoke volumes to the churches in Galatia.

    This backpack I am wearing has stones, rocks within it that weekly we are exposing, and laying them down, giving them to God. Well, today we are talking about the weight of trivial Pursuits, the weight of the pursuing meaningless things.

    Drop the Weight of Trivial Pursuits Over the past few weeks we have been talking about dropping the weight, dropping the weight of junk we are carrying that tire us out, wear us down, and cause all sorts of problems in our relationships with each other, and our relationship with God. This ...read more

    Hard Times

    Life is full of ups and downs. God wants us to always stay focused on Him when times or good or bad. Don’t give up on God, but don’t forget about Him either.

    For the past few weeks we've been talking about things like betrayal, temptation, and the injustices in our lives. Today I want to group all of that together and just talk a little bit about hard times in general. Life is full of ups and downs. A star quarterback throws a game-winning ...read more

    Today from this passage Peter will outline five key principles that should characterize our lives as we respond to a hostile world and take a stand for Christ.

    Take a Stand for Christ with your life! 1 Peter 3:13-17 Introduction I read yesterday that there is a theory that has been around for some time now about “How to boil a live frog”.

    What is God's great purpose in us?

    The 8th chapter of Romans sets forth some of the most profound doctrines of assurance in all of the New Testament. In it, Paul teaches that the indwelling Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with ...read more

    In part 4 of becoming a dangerous Christian we are faced with the inescapable fact that to be a threat to the kingdom of darkness we have to live a life of prayer.

    Luke 18:1-8 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, "that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;" [2] Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: [3] And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine ...read more

    What we need to display our witnessfor Christ

    Three qualities of the Christian life. The disciples were an awkward, inharmonious group before the day of Pentecost. We could say they were a bunch of musicians that were out of tune. They had seen Jesus die. They had seen Him after He arose again. Then they saw Him descend into heaven in a ...read more

    Every Christian has the capacity of joy within their lives because the Holy Spirit dwells within them.

    We have spent time discussing the 8 beatitudes that Jesus says we are to have in order to be a better Christian. Then we began to look at the fruit of the spirit as outlined by Paul in Galatians 5: 22-23. Tonight, we take a look at JOY. One guy claims that his wife hasn’t spoken to him ...read more

    Rejoice In The Lord Always!

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 16, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,686 views

    The source of our true rejoicing is found only through a right relationship with God! Everything apart from him is crumbling and disappointing. Yet our God is eternal, glorious, lacks in no way, and never fails. So those who enjoy a living fellowship with Christ are given true gladness of heart.

    Are we known as a joyful people? Is that the reputation we have, that we’re often rejoicing? Perhaps not. On first impressions, our worship is pretty sombre. In speaking about our faith, most of us are reserved, and we keep our emotions well in check. Even when we have what we call “the celebration ...read more
