Marijuana Use: Willingly Walking Into Bondage

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Feb 1, 2014

| 7,944 views

What's really behind the movement in America to legalize marijuana? Why do we want to sanction people being put into bondage to a substance and in a broader sense sin? This is very troubling as Christians seem to be having a hard time standing against sin

A couple of weeks ago I preached a message on the Christian views on legalizing marijuana in America. If you’ll recall, I wasn’t very supportive of the idea. The notion that we can legalize sin and somehow make state sanctioning of sin a good thing despite the fact that legalizing ...read more

based on 3 ratings

| 4,899 views

We have seen how legalism in Paul’s day added works to salvation, but that is largely not what modern-day legalism is in the church now. Legalism for us applies in the area of how we perceive our sanctification and how we portray our spirituality to others.

INTRO: I need to explain what is going on with the next couple of messages. We have dipped our toe in the water of legalism as it has been addressed in the book of Galatians so far. I am going to take a couple messages and jump into the entire pool of what legalism looks like for us today. We ...read more

Worry is the uneasy feeling we often experience in times of fear, trouble, or problems. But, not all worry is bad. There is a positive, wise kind of worry and a negative, wrong, and destructive worry. This sermon helps us understand both of them and the impacts of negative worry.

Today we will continue our sermon series on "The Bible and Emotional Problems." The topic that we will learn is worry. "I have a mountain of credit card debt," one man told another. "I have lost my job. My car is being repossessed and our house is in foreclosure, but I am ...read more
