    How do you know if you are a Christian? Well, John lays out three tests and one of them confronts our social lives. We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves...and we have a great teacher.

    We’re going to continue in our conversation this week looking at 1 John and more specifically, answering the question, “How do you know if you are a Christian?” Two week ago we started looking at how John answers this question and commented that in his letter, John puts out three tests or guides ...read more

    How do you know you are a Christian? John’s third suggestion is called the Doctrine Test and focuses around knowing the Truth!

    Tonight we are going to dive right into our lesson for tonight. We’re continuing to look at John’s guides for answering the question, “How do you know if you are a Christian?” Rather than refresh our memories with what we have talked about the last couple of weeks now I want to wait and sum ...read more

    We must submit ourselves to the "Blood Test"; not the one that the doctor gives, but the one that says we are washed, cleansed and made righteous by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

    Blood Test Wednesday, June 4, 2008 By Pastor Jim May Yesterday I went in to the doctor’s office for a blood test. I wanted to know that I still had some, and that what I had was in good shape. The usual cholesterol, sugar levels, etc. are being checked. It was all in an effort to try to ...read more

    While testing is an everyday part of the Christian life, we can take comfort in the promises God has given us.

    1. God promises His perfect provision—God is always good. (17a) 2. God promises His permanent position—God never changes. (17b) 3. God promises His purposeful plan—God has a plan. (18) Two brothers were left alone in the kitchen. The older brother pulled the egg carton out of the refrigerator. ...read more

    How do you know if you are a Christian? Can you? Is it possible? John says yes in his letter and gives three ways that we can know we are "living in the light." The first is the Moral Test.

    We are going to continue on in 1 John tonight. Just to recap, two weeks ago we focused on God being the one constant in our lives. His relationship with us is the only thing that will never fail and never let us down. Last week, we talked about sin and that it is a reality that we all have to deal ...read more

    Some scholars have said that Hezekiah started out good and then went bad. I think that’s a short sighted description of a man who was not that much different than we are.

    OPEN: A man spoke of one of the most challenging courses he’d had at his college as being a business law class in which the professor gave difficult true/false tests. "During one of the more exasperating exams, I noticed another student flipping a coin. The professor approached him. ’Son are you ...read more

    LOVE: THE TEST 1 John 4:7-8 - Question: What is the mark of a Christian? What is the test that stands true in showing us that someone is a Christian? - Is it church attendance?

    Paternity Testing Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,379 views

    How do we know we are children of God? By the testimony of the Spirit of God. The paternity test for being a child of God is evidenced by the Spirit of God within us.

    Joke about children: You spend the first two years of your children’s life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up. Grandchildren are God’s reward for not killing your own children. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their ...read more

    Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: 23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: 24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from ...read more
