    Envy and self-satisfaction are destructive forces in the life of God’s children.

    Text: “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and every evil practice” (James 3:16). I would venture to say that all of us have harbored envy at some time in our life time. It is not uncommon for us to resent someone because they have accomplished something in ...read more

     | 11,430 views

    The world views Christianity as being "abnormal." True normalcy is living the life that God designed us to live as His greatest creation.

     | 5,609 views

    If we have our minds centred in Christ, focussed on the things that please God, then we won't need a rule book. If God's word dwells in us the way our lives are hidden with Christ then we'll do things that please God automatically.

    Paul has just finished telling the Colossians to stay away from those who want to tie them down to human rules and regulations. He says these rules are of no use to you in controlling your human desires. He says “Why would you want to subject yourself to human regulations when Christ has died ...read more

    Empowering Leaders

    Empowering leadership means putting the “church at large” back into the hands of the people. Elders are there to help govern and protect.

    Society today has placed its seal of approval on single parent households and homosexual adoption. The laws allowing such activity give evidence of such a stamp of approval. The ideas of familial leadership have begun to fail quickly. Sociologists and experts in family studies have just recently ...read more
