    Life In The Spirit Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jun 26, 2002
    based on 234 ratings
     | 13,134 views

    If we wonder whether we’re truly followers of Christ then this is one way God helps us: are our minds set on the things of God, is our failure to obey, something we struggle with, do we relate to God as our father, rather than someone distant and remote?

    You know as well as I do that keeping a secret is a tremendous burden. But it can also be an advantage, especially if you can figure out how to let people know that you know a secret without telling them the secret. Right?

    Waiting For Glory Series

    based on 23 ratings
     | 6,220 views

    As we wait in hope, in the midst of a suffering world, God is at work, bringing us through to the last day when that hope will at last be seen, when hope will no longer be necessary because its fulfillment has come.

Now that ...read more

    I don’t recommend very many movies – and I especially don’t recommend the movie I’m about to mention.
