    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Feb 23, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,914 views

    We are all God's children, yet at times, like children, we are easily distracted from our journey with Christ. As we seek to journey with Christ towards Jerusalem, who or what gets in the way of our relationship with Christ?

    Earlier this week, we marked the beginning of Lent with an Ash Wednesday service. As a part of that service, we were reminded of Christ’s call to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Christ. This difficult call to discipleship comes just after Jesus predicts his own rejection and ...read more

    Today the Christian life is a race it is God’s Super Bowl. The writer of Hebrews said if we are going to run the Christian life with no distractions and not get off track, we must keep our eyes carefully focused on Jesus.

    God’s Super Bowl Hebrews 12:1 - 3 (NKJV) Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher ...read more

     | 3,583 views

    As the Light of the World Jesus takes us out of darkness and worldliness. Darkness and worldliness does not come because we are the worst we can be; it comes because we are following the distraction of Satan who masquerades as an angel of light.

    Message John 8:12 I Am The Light of the World When Jesus describes Himself as The Light we can quickly understand the significance of the metaphor. Light gives direction. Light pierces the darkness. Light takes away fear, uncertainty, and hesitancy. Light reveals truth. We get the metaphor. Those ...read more

    Christianity is the underpinning of western civilization, and as we jettison it for entertainment, nihilism, pleasure, and post-modernism, we unsurprisingly see a society tipping into chaos

    In our desperate search for what went wrong with western civilization, digging through layer after layer, social structures breaking down, norms shifting, confusion abounding, unrest spreading, and suicide flourishing, we search and long and cry out, "What has gone wrong!?" We think to ...read more

    Doing battle always requires protection, but we often try to use something flimsy, not employing the help which God gives through others.

    No one in his right mind goes out to do battle without protection. You won’t last long on to any battlefield, whether it be the beaches of Normandy or the sands of Kuwait, if you don’t have some kind of armor. Tanks, flak jackets, bulletproof vests – you must have something to protect your heart, ...read more
