    Life Has No Promises

    Contributed by Gregory Thomas on May 9, 2007
    based on 20 ratings
     | 5,487 views

    IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT WE MAXIMIZE EVERY MOMENT THAT LIFE BRINGS MAKING SURE THAT OUR MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH OR YEAR IS LIVED WITH PURPOSE IN MIND.

    LIFE HAS NO PROMISES JAMES 4:14 14) Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time; and then vanisheth away. THE CHARACTER THAT WRITES THIS EPISTLE IS JAMES THE BROTHER OF JOHN AND ...read more

    EVERYONE stands before God to give an account-y But there are two types of judgment a. For those who’s names are written in the Lamb’s book of Life and b. for those who will suffer in the lake of fire for all of their sins

    Revelation 20: 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The ...read more

     | 7,750 views

    A two-pronged, present-continuous, commandment to love - set in its original context.

    A SINGLE COMMANDMENT. 1 John 3:16-24. “This is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another” (1 John 3:23). Before we look at the two prongs of this single commandment, we need to set the verse within its immediate context. The ones who ...read more

    Power Of The Spoken Word

    based on 4 ratings
     | 29,333 views

    The power of God backs us up when we dare to speak His Word with faith, love, authority, and full expectation.

    Jesus said in John 6:63, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”. Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the ...read more

    So, You Think You're Not A Pharisee?

    Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 28, 2014
     | 4,749 views

    Christ directed the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican Praying in the Temple to those who trusted in their own righteousness. We are more prone to trust in our own righteousness than we might think. This self-trust can keep us from being merciful.

    Over the years, we have all heard preachers address the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican praying in the Temple. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast ...read more

    It is in the very nature of a forgiving God to - well, forgive!

    HEALING THE LEPROSY OF SIN. Mark 1:40-45. 1. The leper The various skin diseases which fall under the Biblical heading of ‘leprosy’ have long stood as a metaphor for that worst of all human diseases: sin. However, this does not detract from the historicity of the incident which Mark now sets ...read more

    God has taken us from places of sin, from the mud and mire and has lifted us and set us on a solid place. His place the firm foundation offaith! Sing his praises.

    U2 40; You too? King David wrote a good number of Psalms; one that I particularly like is Psalm 40. This Psalm of praise is focused on grace and salvation. It is a song that declares how the author, the King himself was in a sticky place in, “mud and mire” is how he described it and ...read more

    And It Was Night

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,250 views

    Metaphorically speaking, the clock is ticking away in the background. The countdown has begun. Gethsemane lies ahead: as does our Lord’s betrayal, trial and death.

    AND IT WAS NIGHT. John 13:21-32. As the Lord’s ‘hour’ drew near that He should depart out of this world, He turned His attention more and more to ‘His own’ (John 13:1). After the foot-washing and the teaching which immediately followed it, Jesus “was troubled in spirit” (John 13:21). ...read more

    Reflection B.17 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / Isaiah 65:17-25. Heaven, Or The Millennium? Either Way, It’s Good.

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020
     | 2,629 views

    The description of 'End Times', and prophecies of judgement may seem gloomy and depressing. No doubt these will be difficult times. But having gone through that, we will come into a very, very good situation.

    In today’s Reflection I’m looking at why we can be encouraged, even as we think about ‘End Times’ and God’s judgement. We don’t know if we are in such a time, but suppose we are? Jesus described the various signs that will accompany ‘End Times’ as ‘the beginning of birth pains.’ Painful, but the ...read more

    Finding The Lord's Will

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jul 6, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,064 views

    The problem that faces every Christian is how to ascertain the will of God

    A Christian is one who has renounced his own will and submits to the will of God for his life. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; this was true of Paul when he said, “Lord, what will thou have me to do?” The same should be true of us. When we are saved, we make as unconditional surrender to God. The problem ...read more
