    Living By A Different Standard Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 19, 2022
     | 3,591 views

    Paul warns and urges the Corinthians to break away from their old lifestyle of visiting the prostitutes, counting their excuses with the truth of God's gift and design for sexual relations.

    As Christians, knowing God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, we live by a different code of conduct. We live by God’s standards. • They are not standards we abide by to gain God’s favour; they are standards we live by because we have been saved from sin and changed by God. • We are redeemed, forgiven ...read more

He got so disgusted with himself that he came up with a list of Resolutions he felt he could keep. He said ...read more

    The Cross of Jesus tells us things we need to know, but we’re not sure we want to hear.

    Several years ago, I was driving through downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was a 4 lane, one way street that I had traveled several times before. I was going the speed limit (maybe a little faster) when I saw the light up ahead turn yellow. I thought to myself, "I can make that light if I just speed ...read more

     | 6,129 views

    The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 Samuel 15. The man who stood head and shoulders above all the people is imploding like a skyscraper building with the walls blown out.

    The bigger they are the harder they fall. It is dramatic to see a skyscraper building brought to the ground. Dynamite blows out the walls and the building collapses to the ground. What once filled the skyline becomes reduced to a pile of rubble. The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 1,511 views

    No excuses. No appeals. No mercy. Judgment has arrived. At the Great White Throne Judgment, the Bible reveals the time for mercy has come to an end, it’s time to give an account.

    Introduction In our second examination of the Great White Throne Judgment, one thing is evident, the absence of the saved and the judgment of the lost begins. The tragedy of it all is, it can be avoided. The time to correct this is NOW, waiting can be fatal and final! Note with me that not only ...read more

    based on 6 ratings

    Hypocrisy among believers is the excuse people use to justify not trusting Christ; hypocrisy kills and it is time we as believers draw close to our Savior living in the light in honesty and integrity.

    There is probably no more appropriate book in the Bible to the western church than 1 Corinthians. The early church was by no means perfect. However that is no excuse for not living a life surrendered to the sanctifying work of Christ.

    ntro: While we were in Myrtle Beach SC my wife of course wanted to go shopping. So I could spend time with here I went and actually found something that would be useful for us to think about as we begin the New Year.

    The issue of homosexuality has brought so much pain to so many people. It's time for believers neither to excuse it nor to ignore it but to take a stand and be a part of the healing process.

    Almost every day for the past month our local newspaper has been filled with editorials about the issue we face as a state concerning marriage. Just over a week ago I came across one which I’d like to read for you… “I am a father, uncle, brother, son, grandson, godfather, small ...read more
