What Does The Bible Mean, To Be Born Again?

Contributed by William D. Brown on Jan 1, 2009

Matthew 5 - Part 2 - What Do You Mean Bankruptsy Is Ok? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 20, 2009

Who are the "poor in spirit"? Are they rich people with a poverty mentality? Are they poor people who are discouraged? Are they people who don’t have the strength of mind to make it in the world and Jesus wants to take them out?

Matthew 5 - Part 2 - So all of a sudden Bankruptsy is OK? When we lived in the Ukraine for a month, we witnessed incredible poverty. The beautifully ornate Churches over there have domes which are actually covered in gold leaf, but under them are the beggars. Such a contrast. I noticed at one ...read more

The Fight Within The Wall Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 21, 2011

The greatest problem in ministry is often the fight within. Beware of the seeds of discontent, distrust and rivalry that the evil One can sow within the Body of Christ. Don't let selfishness gets the better of us.

Un-Forgivenss Creates A Debt

Contributed by Sherry Proskine on Nov 21, 2007

Un-forgiveness says, "They owe me". When we don’t forgive, it creates a debt from what someone has done to us. We can even create a debt to ourselves.

Un-forgiveness Creates a Debt Illus. Hold up a glass of water. How heavy do you think this glass is? The total weight isn’t so important, it’s how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute--not a problem. An hour--my arm will ache. Hold it for a day--you better call an ambulance. ...read more

God's Favor

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Oct 10, 2013

You are frustrated with your faith because you don't recognize the power of the resurrected Jesus in your life. You limit yourself based on what you think you can do or accomplish.

This Scripture teaches us about what God's Favor is all about. "God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us ...read more

Majoring In The Minors
