Grounded In Christ Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 9, 2020

Some miss the gate. Some lose their way, by false teaching, counterfeit spirituality, or not putting beliefs into practice. Some are grounded in Christ, and stand firm in the storms of life!

Healthy Disciples: GROUNDED IN CHRIST—Matthew 7:13-27 Read Matthew 7:13-14. This is troubling. We know that many people in the world are not interested in eternal life with Christ as Lord and King, and that troubles us. Jesus implies, however, that many who claim to be Christians might not be ...read more

First Sunday Of Lent, Year A- The Tactics Of Temptation

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 21, 2023

C.S. Lewis made an astute observation in his masterful Screwtape Letters: the devil cannot manufacture real goods or pleasures; he’s stuck with the ones God has made and for which our natures have an inclination.

I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

Short People Got No Reason

Contributed by Dawn Marie Turner on Nov 2, 2004

It isn’t Zaccheaus size or that he climbed the tree that matters, it is that he was willing to come down and meet Jesus and transform his life.

Some people consider Jesus one of many options. But He challenged people either follow him or not. When it comes to relationships, dating, marriage, and decisions in life, God cannot be an option.
