     | 9,275 views

    Paul mentioned two distinct areas where we are often under a yoke of slavery. 1- Enslaved to work 2- Enslaved to false thinking

    INTRO.- Enslaved. That word doesn’t sound very good. We don’t like to think we’re enslaved to anything or anyone. But all of us are under a yoke of slavery, in a sense. Do you drink coffee?

After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and ...read more

(Jas. 2:14,17,20,26). A worthless religion and a worthless faith make a worthless Christian and a ...read more

    Is the church (body of Christ) ‘binitarian’ OR ‘Trinitarian?’ Many believe in the Father or Jesus Christ and just pay lip-service to the Holy Spirit.

So he decided to go for a walk on the beach, where he saw a little boy digging a hole in the sand with a seashell. The boy then ran off to the ocean, filling the shell, and rushed ...read more
