Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 20, 2007

The poor in spirit understands that they are bankrupt before God. They have nothing to offer, nothing to plead, nothing with which to buy the favour of heaven. When we understand that, God can use us in a great way.

The Beatitudes describe what every Christian ought to be. • Jesus says these are those who are truly blessed. • And He expects us to manifest these traits. • None of these traits are natural human tendencies; it is what we can become by the grace of God. • They are attainable and achievable ...read more

Restoring The Broken Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 30, 2007

When you let the natural nature of the human heart take over you don’t go from bad to good you go from bad to worse. Yet in the midst of a tragic story we find tremendous hope.

The events of Judges 19-21 probably represent the worst of the worst of the history of Israel. They happened, surprisingly, not long after Joshua passed away signaling, I think, the fact that shortly after conquering the Promised Land, the people fell away quickly into idolatry which then infected ...read more

Faith, The Measure Of A Man

Contributed by Mark Roper on Jun 24, 2009

Faith is knowledge passing into conviction, and it is conviction passing into confidence. Nothing is more disastrous than to study faith, analyze faith, make noble resolves of faith, but never actually to walk in faith

Faith, the Measure of a Man Most words in our spiritual vocabulary are difficult to define. They denote something invisible and intangible to be understood in the Spirit. Words like love, peace, and faith are best defined in the Bible. The author of the Book of Hebrews defines faith in these ...read more

Rest In Peace

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Dec 17, 2009

Many people think that you have to be dead to get rest, yet the Bible clearly states that we can and should have peace in our lives. In fact it should be something that defines us and separates us...

The Latin phrase "Requiescat in pace" is a short epitaph that typically appears on headstones, often abbreviated "RIP" which is then often given in English as Rest in peace. The expression means "may he / she rest in peace". Rest in peace probably sounds like a pretty nice idea to most of you here ...read more
