Thyatria - Lack Of Self-Discipline

Contributed by Ralph Andrus on Jul 13, 2009

The church can speak scripture. Yet it masks immorality

A man walked up to a vending machine, put in a coin, pressed the buttons labeled, “coffee, double cream, sugar.” No cup appeared, but the nozzles went into action sending forth coffee, cream and sugar.

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019

My Father told me when I was just a pup, "Son, the very first play is the most important. You must show your opponent who is the boss!"

It was good advice and I have never forgotten what he had said. Of course he was referring to football but it applies to most things, especially sports. Satan thinks he is the boss. He wants to boss you around in the RING of LIFE. From the time you are a young adult, he tries to impress his ...read more

The Act Of Love Of A Forgiven Woman, And The Inclusivity Of Jesus' Ministry.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 23, 2016

Nurturing our relationship with Jesus is an essential part of our Christian formation.

1. A FORGIVEN WOMAN’S ACT OF LOVE. Luke 7:36-50. This incident ties in with two earlier episodes, illustrating Jesus’ conquest over sickness (Luke 7:1-10), death (Luke 7:11-17) - and now sin.
