Sermon On A Double Life

Contributed by William Meakin on Aug 25, 2024

A double life could be considered as a twin existence, or leading the life of a double-minded person who amalgamates two fallacious entities in one, but ensures that both are conspicuously segregated from each other.

Stephanie Klein, an American strategist and consultant once remarked: “If someone wants to lead a double life, they will find a way to do it. And they can promise you things until your nerves unfold and you can finally put up your feet. But it can all be a lie. There are no guarantees, even when ...read more

Our Troublesome Tongues

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024

As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

Foolish Words, Fierce Anger, And Wise Actions (1 Samuel 25:2-44)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 16, 2024

David showed mercy to Saul, exercising grace and wisdom. However, the foolish words of a man named Nabal drove David to excessive anger. The intervention of Nabal's wife, Abigail, brought calm and reason to a situation that could have ended in tragedy.

The Bible describes David as "a man after God's own heart". His character and actions reflected a genuine desire to obey and love the LORD. As a result, he was chosen by God to be the next king of Israel, replacing the dynasty of Saul, whose rebellious and defiant actions resulted ...read more
