    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014

     | 7,537 views

    Jesus' coming is delayed to give the greater number of people the greater opportunity to repent.

    TIME FOR TRUE REPENTANCE. 2 Peter 3. After the description of the false teachers who deny the second coming of Jesus - which is concluded with the horrible picture of 2 Peter 2:22 - Peter turns to his protégés and effectively says, “I am assured of better things concerning you” (cf. ...read more

    Peeling Off The Grime

    Contributed by Matthew Blau on Mar 12, 2014
     | 3,937 views

    Being born again is like taking a shower after a hard days work

    Peeling Off the Grime A side effect of hard physical labor is that we get dirty. Working out leave us sweaty and less than sweet smells. And after awhile, we start to feel as if we can take a putty knife and peel off the grime. I know I am really looking forward to summer. But summers here in ...read more

    Sometimes it feels as if we are in the battle far too deep and are about to be defeated but we must remember, with God's help, we cannot be defeated.

    EMBATTLED BUT NOT DEFEATED Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Here as we struggle through the complexities of this Christian life, the ...read more

    May your encounter with God lead you to an altar that produces peace and a life of victory. Look carefully at the life of Gideon and you may want to imitate his example.

    Should Protestants Be Allowed To Have An Opinion Regarding The New Pope?

    It has been suggested that it is a tragedy for Evangelicals to pray and fast regarding the new pope as called for by Rick Warren. While it might not be an issue worthy of fasting over as it doesn't look like most of the top contenders to the papal throne have themselves missed too many meals and ...read more

    Faith And The Two Meanings Of Works Series

     | 3,756 views

    Faith, above all, is a gift of God. Now it’s a gift that he pours out liberally on all humans, but it will not save our souls unless we cooperate with it.

    Thursday of 28th Week in Course 2017 Reformation Revolution Saints John de Brébeuf and Isaac Jogues Our readings today say the same thing in different ways. St. Paul’s letter to the Romans was really the first work of systematic theology. It positions the saving work of Our Lord in the context of ...read more

    “Luther’s expression sola fide is true if faith is not opposed to charity, to love.”

    Thursday After Epiphany 2018 Reformation/Revolution The action of the Israelites and the response of the Philistines we have heard proclaimed from the first book of Samuel help us see the two primitive and wrong conceptions of the divine. For the Israelites, their God was the God of Moses who had ...read more

    The Heart Of A Servant

    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 9, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,979 views

    Good morning church! I want to explore the valuable lessons on having a servant's heart that we can learn from 1 Timothy 6:11-12. As we look into this passage, let us be inspired by the example of the apostle Paul and reflect on how we can cultivate the heart of a true servant in our own lives.

    Point 1: Pursue Righteousness (1 Timothy 6:11a) A servant's heart is rooted in a deep desire to pursue righteousness. It involves a deliberate choice to walk in obedience to God's commands and live a life that aligns with His will. Proverbs 21:21 - "He that followeth after ...read more

    Gentleness

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 3, 2013
     | 4,535 views

    I must say this, today there is a sadistic and egoistic pleasure in being snobby, overbearing, rude and curt? We have just forgotten to be kind, gentle and pleasant!

    Gentleness… Acts 11:2’And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him…’ It is sad that many are skeptical about fasting! Let us not do fasting as a ritual or a religious custom like many do these days without any change in them. Are you ...read more

    Christmas is the time of year when the thoughts of most Americans grow to be at their most devout. It is increasingly the time of year that the avowed despisers of the Almighty are at their most disrespectful.
