By and large “down” is considered negative. In contrast, “up” sounds real good.—up and coming, upper ...read more

    Jerry-Builders, Beware ! Take Heed!

    based on 36 ratings
     | 7,372 views

    Christians are warned to "take heed; be careful" against the Dangers of Presumptuousness, Complacency and Compromise and to ensure that their life’s work will survive the fiery trial of the Judgement Seat of Christ.

    When I’m preparing a message I usually have a Bible concordance within easy reach. A little while ago, as I was turning to a word I wanted to follow up, my eyes fell on the phrase "take heed" and I was surprised to see how many references there were - over 50 ! This was clearly of some importance ...read more

    OPEN - I read a poem several years ago that went this way: If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it is yours... If it doesn’t, it never was. But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, takes your money, and doesn’t appear to realize that ...read more

    Running A Faith Race

    Contributed by Neil Olcott on Jun 29, 2004
    based on 30 ratings
     | 3,821 views

    This is a sermon about our life of faith with an outline somewhat borrowed from Chuck Swindoll.

    Intro: The New Testament often describes the Christian life as a race to be run or a fight to be fought. These metaphors stem from the literal reality of the athletic events that were conducted in ancient arenas. Physical training was an important part of Greek education and centered in the ...read more

     | 3,053 views

    The path to sin follows a generally predictable pattern, yet man never seems to notice the signposts along the way. This message seeks to point out the natural progression that the path of sin follows, so that the child of God can be aware and alert.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but it simply isn’t about us. Everything He has done is about and for His glory. We were created for Him and He has intended for us an ultimate and divine destiny. That ought to make you shout!

    It’s Not About Us (Ultimate Divine Destiny) Galatians 2:20; 2 Samuel 6 Over the past several weeks I have been pondering and meditating on two concepts.
