Reflections On Life

05 - James 2:14-26 Series

Contributed by Michael Collins on Aug 25, 2021

This is 5th of 11 Studies in the Book of James. In this study we'll be looking at the fact that faith that is not followed up with a life of love and obedience is no faith at all. Connections are made with the faith of Abraham and that of Rahab as well.

James 2:14-17 “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things ...read more

Heed God's Counsel

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 19, 2025

God counsels us through His Word, His people and through the promptings of the Holy Spirit. There are important lessons we can learn from Lot’s wife, Cain and Jehoshaphat on the consequences of disobedience to God’s counsel. Implicit obedience to the Lord is the secret to a life of peace.

The key verse for today’s meditation is taken from Joshua 3:5, “Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”” (ESV) As Joshua led the people of Israel he admonished them that God was willing to do wonders amongst them, but that in order ...read more

Jesus' Bff Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 26, 2020

Jesus showed up 4 days late for Lazarus' funeral. Why? And what can that mean to us as Christians?

Social Media (texting/twitter/etc.) has created a whole new set of terms. These terms are called “acronyms”, and they’re basically abbreviations of common phrases. For example “LOL” means (wait for the audience to respond) – that’s right “Laugh Out Loud.” LOL is simply shorthand for a term that ...read more

Almost A Christian

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 30, 2002

Salvation is more than just saying yes. It’s more than just being baptized. It’s more than going to church. It’s a lifetime commitment to the most wonderful friend of them all.

Faith, Sin, To Overcome: Skylight Installation Guide Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Jun 30, 2007

Sometimes faith means moving through obstacles. We also see healing and forgiveness go hand in hand. The friends have enough faith to get the paralytic before Jesus - Then Jesus proves he has the authority to forgive.

Last week, as we ended chapter one, we saw that Jesus is the authority. This week, as we start chapter two, we see an intensification of this theme, Jesus is the divine authority, for not only does He have the authority to heal, as we saw in chapter one, but he also has the authority to forgive ...read more
