God Is Not A Hanyman

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 23, 2010

Handymen have many unfinished jobs which take money and time by a professional to fix. In contrast God, who begins the work in us, will bring it to completion. There is no project to big for God.

The Traits Of Token Religion

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jul 17, 2009

Just because someone attaches the word "worship" to a religious service, doesn’t mean that the term fits. This was often the case with Israel’s religous rituals. Sadly, it is often true of many church services in our day.

The Traits Of Token Religion Text: Phil.1: 3-11 Intro: Today I want to focus on the thought mentioned in the second half of Philippians 1: 10. Paul tells the Philippians that he was praying that their love for Christ might continue to grow, resulting in knowledge, discernment, and sincerity. ...read more

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 14, 2012

Paul prays for his partners in the Gospel, the Philippian church.

Someone has said that in Paul’s other letters, he is an “attack dog;” but in the letter to the Philippians, he is more like a “lap dog.” There is quite a difference in his letter to the Philippians and many of his other letters.
