    What is it about the "Lord's Prayer" and other comments from the Sermon on the Mount" that can help us pray a deeper prayer than what we've prayed before?

According to one researcher, there are 17 times in the Gospels tell us He prayed. Among those 17 times, we see that Jesus prayed… Before He chose His 12 disciples. (Luke 6:12-13); He ...read more

    We can’t continue our half-hearted, part-time Christianity and expect dynamic N.T. results. Rather, we must attempt to adopt Bible devotion, practices, and obedience – then we can expect to have Bible results!

     | 2,821 views

    Paul commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. If men are to be the fathers the Lord expects, we must first be the husbands He expects. We can't love our children as we should if our love for our wives is lacking.

I can say without hesitation, that being a father is one of the greatest blessings and joys in my life. I am truly thankful for the two daughters the Lord blessed Tanya and me ...read more

     | 1,111 views

    Israel could not produce the type of fruit that God had intended because they tried to produce it on their own- and not God’s way. God expected to find peace, but instead He found bloodshed; He expected to find justice but instead He heard cries of oppression.

    A Branch On The Tree. Charlie Brown, “Snoopy some day we will all die.” And Snoopy says, “True, but on all the other days we will not.” Here's my addendum, -The believer never dies! The grapevine has always been central to Israel’s agriculture and economy and was an important symbol for ...read more

    Parable of the dishonest manager: The Kingdom of God works on different principles than we’re used to. Efficiency, practicality, and self-interest are not the core values of the Kingdom. God expects a lot more for us (and from us) than we expect him to.

    There was a rich man. This man was so rich that he didn’t make his own bed. He had a personal maid who did that. He didn’t make his own dinner. He had a personal chef who did that.

    Advent calls on us to forget about our own expectations and remember the love of Jesus and Joseph and the love of God. We are called on to let God’s peace gradually warm our souls and free us for new expectations and the birth of something within us.

    Today we begin the transition from Advent to Christmas. We are led to the stable. Our hopes, dreams and longing for a Saviour are the same hopes, dreams and longings people had on that first Christmas 2,000 years ago. The birth of the Messiah pointed to the promise of the Kingdom. To many people ...read more
