    Jesus kingdom is not from this world but he taught us to respect the ones in power. In history God uses His people to influence and free His people. As Christians we must fight for the right by all means necessary, spiritually and politically.

If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” 2. Why is ...read more

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019
     | 2,367 views

    With the exception of those sections dealing with “natural law” and its relationship to Christianity, I am indebted to the lectures of Beth Cabrera, The Great Courses Plus.com regarding the contributions of "positive psychology" to the field of management.

    Sing!

    Ever wonder why the Angles are singing? Hymns are actually a very powerful prayer. In fact, a song, a Christmas Carol, was even able to stop a war. The power of songs of praise can change hearts and boost our faith.

    One of my favorite things to do at Christmas as a child was a couple days before, my little brother and I would have a large candle, and we would go from house to house with a hymnal and go caroling. We would pick a few of our favorites like Silent Night, Oh Come O Ye Faithful, and Joy to the ...read more

Just as baptism is a visual picture of the death burial and resurrection of Jesus and our new life in Christ, so the Lord’s supper communicates important aspects of our faith. We insist that the elements are ...read more

    Three things can never be separated. Jesus, His words written in the Scriptures and the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit brings Jesus to life, and the scriptures point us to Jesus. Separate one from the other and you will miss heaven. (Leonard Sweet)

    The early church was dynamic and turned their world upside down because they possessed certain characteristics. If we want to see revival in our churches today, we too must follow their example.

    We have been considering God’s promise for His people from Act 11:21, “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.”(KJV) We will consider in detail the life of the early church, and see what we ought to do, in order for the Lord to fulfil this ...read more
