    Doing Good

    Galatians has a word or two on good deeds that sound a lot like the message of James. While James doesn't focus on the Spirit, and Paul centers there, the echoes of the faith are heard in both. It is impressive to note the parallels.

    Last week we finished our study in the book of James. James was all about words and works of the faithful Christian. Our walk and our talk express our faith and our relationship with God. Just as faith without works is dead, James 2:26, James makes it clear that claiming to be religious without ...read more

    It turns out that the devil is knocking at her door and she says, “I never dreamed he’d have blue eyes and blue jeans.”

    “He was among wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.” In the Greek, these were dangerous animals. These wild animals can remind us that dangers surrounded Jesus all through his life. And ours. e.g. At a United States Army post in the desert of Kuwait, Protestant Chaplain (Major) Barbara ...read more

    There is a new problem within the modern day New Testament church that is growing. That is – many Christians are now under the impression that obedience is no longer needed. Whether or not people obey God’s commandments doesn’t seem to be as important as
