    Remedies For Jealousy

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on May 4, 2003
    based on 27 ratings
     | 6,085 views

    Concentrate on accomplishing what you can do for God and do not worry about other’s responsibilities. Paul wrote, "Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth."

    1. Recognize that jealousy is rooted in immature and selfish desires. Paul wrote, "When you are jealous of one another and divide up into quarreling groups, doesn’t that prove you are still babies, wanting your own way? In fact, you are acting like people who don’t belong to the Lord at all." (I ...read more

    People say they do not want to go to our church because of all the hypocrites. Is it possible to go through life not knowing that our lifestyle portrays hypocrisy? Could we in fact be "an unconscious hypocrite?"

    “The Unconscious Hypocrites” Matthew 7:15-20 The remainder of Chapt. 7 has one message; walking through the “strait or narrow gate & staying on the path! On this journey, we are shown some of the hindrances, obstacles, or pitfalls one might encounter. We are shown 2 ...read more

    Let The Dead Bury The Dead

     | 14,155 views

    "Another disciple said to him, ’Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’" Now this sounds like a reasonable enough request. I’m sure that Jesus, who cares so much about us, will agree to this. What does He say? Verse 22: ’Follow me, and let the dead b

    Turn with me to Matthew 8:18-22. Here we find Jesus soon after the Sermon on the Mount. A man with leprosy has just been healed. The Centurion’s servant has been healed. Peter’s mother-in-law has been healed. Demons have been cast out, and many others healed. What a picture of Jesus’ ministry we ...read more

    Sacrificing a human life is not the point here, as horrific as it is, and as abhorrent to the Lord as it is. I can think of only two or three other valid reasons why God would ask Abraham to sacrifice his only son whom he loved, as a burnt offering, only

    Part 2 - Genesis 22:1-11 - LORD, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? There’s plenty of evidence of blatant disregard for human life today. Terrorism and suicide bombers? Capital punishment? Human trafficking. Abortion? So what is God thinking when He asks Abraham to take his only son, the son he loves, and ...read more

    I have heard many excuses for not following Christ over the years but, the best one is. "I will when I get my life straighten out." Listen, a person cannot get their life straighten out until they have turned it over to Jesus Christ. Putting things off,

    The ability to answer wisely may not persuade the hardened opponents of the Gospel, but God can use those answers to glorify himself and perhaps to reach out to others who hear the discussion.

    Death and Taxes (Mark 12:13-27) 1. I cannot say I enjoy making payments. Fortunately, I do not have a car payment, but I have a mortgage and I have bills. 2.

    The child in you can be the determining factor in life, which can be lead and be misled. In most people the Inner child not only survives but thrives as a bawling, brawling, sprawling character.
