    There is much preaching done today in the power of the emotions, or in the power of the intellect. This is false preaching, and false religion.

    Dramatic monologue, as if the speaker were "Dives" ... an appeal to move beyond "cool" and distant religion into compassion.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC January 26, 1986 I am Dives; and I have come to you today only because for this brief moment the unbridgeable is bridged, the chasm is spanned.

    Luxury And Laziness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,752 views

    There is the very real possibility that religious people are trusting in their religion, rather than in the true and living God.

    LUXURY AND LAZINESS. Amos 6:1a, Amos 6:4-7. Amos was a farmer from Tekoa, to the south of Jerusalem (Amos 1:1). The LORD called Amos to ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel’ (Amos 7:15).

    God's Love Is The Key

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 9, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,670 views

    What makes Christianity completely different and unique from all the other religions in the world is ‘love’ because it is the only religion where Jesus Christ, who is love Himself, comes to dwell within each willing heart when invited to.

    I am firmly convinced that every human being has an unquenchable longing for love, and to love and be loved, because God is love (1 John 4:8). The love a person feels for another is just a minute shadow of God’s love for EVERYONE! Jesus Christ is the very definition of love itself and the empirical ...read more

     | 2,980 views

    Babel is revisited when people are led more by fear than by faith. God caused confusion to people who thought they could provide a man made monument of their own religion that would provide them what they desired. They made a religion according to their o

    A stark contrast between religious hypocrites and a faithful woman. The religious show-offs were mostly interested in what they could GET out of life. And the poor widow as interested in all she could GIVE.

     | 9,154 views

    This is the first message in a series on faith. God always answers prayer birthed by faith.

    Religion has taught us that God decides whether or not He will answer our prayers. And because we believe that teaching we often end our prayers with “if it be thy will”. In other words, “God, I’m not really sure what your will is in this situation, but I’m going to pray and if my prayer is not ...read more
