    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Jun 20, 2003

     | 26,635 views

    Our English word "hygiene" comes from the Greek word for "sound" (sound doctrine; sound faith; sound speech) used in the Pastoral Letters - this sermon evaluates these signs of good spiritual health.

    How do tragic world events affect the Christian? Jesus gives 3 principles, Do not fear, Watch, and Testify.

    Wars and Rumors of Wars One question I have been continuously asked since the bombing of the World Trade Center is, ‘Do you think this is the beginning of the end?’ As we watch in shock the terrible events unfold before our eyes, who can help but wonder if this could be a sign of the times? We ...read more
