    Christian Love

    Contributed by Dwight L. Moody on Oct 26, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,069 views

    A classic sermon by D. L. Moody on the importance, power, and indispensibility of Christian love.

    It speaks in Galatians about love, the fruit of the Spirit being love, joy, peace, gentleness, long suffering, meekness and temperance. The way this writer has put it -- and I think it is very beautiful -- is that joy is love exultant, peace is love in repose, and long suffering is love enduring. ...read more

    Oaths and swearing are as common as food and clothing in our life today. This should not be so. As Christ rebuked the hard hearts of the Jews of old so the Bible still rebukes those of us who would use the things of God lightly and treat them with disrespect. I. Do Not Swear Beyond your ...read more

    By forcing the reader to see what it means to serve Jesus in extreme circumstances, Luke challenges us to consider the depth of our own personal discipleship.

    Message Hard Sayings of Jesus - Luke 9:57-62 “The Truly Committed Don’t Look Back” In America there is a mountainous forest called the “Bridger Wilderness Area”. Let me say that again the Bridger WILDERNESS Area. The idea is to go there and have a genuine wilderness experience. After you visit ...read more

    Christian Security

    Contributed by Bryan Dill on Nov 5, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,432 views

    Some Christians seem to have more confidence in the security of their homes than they do the security God has promised. Consider these three areas in which we can rest assured of God’s security.

    What kind of security do you have in your home? Do you have any at all? It might just be something as simple as a dead-bolt lock. Or, maybe you have some of those motion-sensored lights that will turn on automatically if someone walks by it. Or, maybe you have a guard dog. Sometimes those ...read more

    What will it take to reverse some of the damage we have done to ourselves and the church’s image? I believe it will take Christians really living like Christians.

    You know, it’s startling today to realize exactly how people look at Christianity. To much of the world Christians are just a nuisance. We are just a bunch of crazy fanatics who try to impose innumerable rules upon everyone else. We’re just a bunch of do-gooders who always find ways to condemn ...read more

    Generic Christianity

    The push is on for Christians to be less separated and more like everyone else. That’s a generic Christianity. God wants a separated people who let Him be their leader.
