    If salvation depended upon living a sinless life, none of us would have a hope of reaching heaven. No Christian can claim to merit God’s mercy or grace. No saved individual can state that God was compelled to grant her life because of her goodness. We are

    When the Almighty, Omnipotent Creator God asks, "What do you want Me to do for you?", the wise thing would be to give it careful thought before responding.

    “James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” 36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 They said to Him, “Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.” 38 But ...read more

    Paul gives us reasons for obey God . . . even when no one else may be looking.

    Paul exhorts the Philippians to obey God, even when he wasn’t around. Like parents who hope their kids will behave even when mom or dad aren’t around to check on them, Paul wanted the Philippians to obey, motivated by higher things than just the possibility of being rewarded by Paul or ...read more

    Conformity to Christ is our goal. Live with this end in mind. Spiritual growth is not an option. Put first things first.

    Before I move on to the book of Numbers in my weekly sermons, I like to take this week, in between the books, to revisit the theme of discipleship. • Why do we want to take this discipleship learning journey? Can we do without? • Why do we do what we are doing today? Is it ...read more

    If Jesus were to ask you, "What Do You Want Me To Do For You?" How would you answer?

    What do you want Me to do for you? Jesus asked this question to two different people. He got two completely different answers, Jesus gave two completely different responses.

    Apostle Paul encountered the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus and he was changed forever. His life was to live for Christ and for the assignment which Christ had given him. For Paul said, For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.

    This section of God's Word shows us how two people responded to a tragedy. One example comes from a widow whose son died. The other comes from one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament, Elijah.

    At some point it will likely happen to most of us. For each of us it will be different and yet the same. It will leave us with tears in our eyes and pain in our hearts. We call them tragedies—something that seems to turn our lives upside down. Because we live in a world stained by sin these ...read more
