    Nostalgia is a fatal disease, because the burdens of the past are idolatrous and wearisome, and will bring us down with them. But remember who God is and what His purpose is.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,902 views

    Preached in 1989. Sometimes opposition is deeply destructive and isolating; the only answer is through prayer, for ultimately integrity is given by the risen Christ.

    Opposition comes in all shapes and sizes. Opposition: feeling that somebody is out to stop you -- it takes many different forms.

     | 11,347 views

    Gluttony is more that just eating more than your fill. The true face of the sin of gluttony is that we can desire something more than we desire God.

    An unknown predator has entered our lives; one that starts as soon as we are born. Most of us would never recognize it if we saw it because “it” is the norm of the society we live in.
