    The importance of keeping our eyes and faith upon the Lord Jesus Christ, for the deceiver wants us to look at this world and its pleasures.

    Ps 73: 1 – 28 NIV 73:2 but as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by ...read more

    Paul is suggesting we should not necessarily limit ourselves to colleagues, or instructors or even celebrities, maybe especially celebrities, as our examples. We should look to God.

    Today, let’s look at the motivation for gratefulness Paul lists: the Colossians’ faith and love, which are both based on their hope in the truth of the Good News. Today, we’ll focus on FAITH

    What Does The Bible Say About Homosexuality?

    Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Feb 3, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,210 views

    Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that we cannot love him (or her) or pray for him (her). Homosexuality is a sin and like any other sin, it needs to be dealt with in the only way possible. It needs to be laid at the cross and repented of.

    The Bible, as God's word, reveals God's moral character and it shapes the morality of the Christian. The Bible has much to say about homosexuality: 1. Lev. 18:22 , "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." 2. Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a ...read more

    18 July 2011 The Spirit of the Liturgy I recall from grade school days when some particularly hard-hearted kid wanted to get under my skin, he would say “Prove it!” to anything I might advance. We see this in the Hebrews fleeing from Egypt. They trusted Moses until they got into a ...read more

    we learn from Jesus the universal truth of love

    Every time Jesus wanted us to listen to what He had to say, He would say “truly I tell you” or “verily I say unto you” or “I tell you the truth” All of Jesus’ parables use one of these phrases, as well as many of His teachings. He wants us to ‘get it’ - that what He was saying is ...read more
