When the going gets tough… Jesus’ disciples get going to corporate worship

Out Of The Frying Pan

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 5, 2011

When the going gets tough, do you go with the flow or stand firm with confidence in God?

Why The Holy Spirit Does Not Give Into Our Whims, But Helps To Bring Out Go

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Sep 17, 2006

The Holy Spirit listens to our cries, but selectively responds to the prayers that are in conformity with the will of God for our lives. The Spirit acts as our advocate to the Father, but acts only according to the will of God. The Spirit has a way of fi

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 8, 2011

Wait a minute! No, this is not about "15 minutes of fame". It’s about "sowing and reaping" longterm. It’s not "The Farmer wants a wife". It’s the FARMER WANTS A CROP. Jesus may have achieved CELEBRITY STATUS but He is not interested in walking out on the

Matthew 5 - Part 13 - Am I Going To Hell For Calling Someone A Fool? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 3, 2010

Does calling your brother a fool make you guilty of hell. Is this what Jesus means? The NASB softens it down by adding the words "guilty ENOUGH TO GO into the fiery hell." but literally it says "whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell"

Matthew 5 - Part 13 - AM I GOING TO HELL FOR CALLING SOMEONE A FOOL? I’ve been thinking about "Murder". Not committing murder but the subject of "murder".

If Your Presence Does Not Go With Us, Do Not Bring Us Up From Here

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011

We haven’t fully experienced God’s presence in our life because we haven’t been actively seeking it. In other words, we only seek God’s presence when we find ourselves in tight spots, or when we want something. Why do we act this way?

A great truth about life is that at times things that happen can hold us back. In other words, sometimes we experience situations, or we have to go through circumstances that weaken and/or discourage us. Sometimes we have to go through situations that rob our peace, and attempt to make us lose ...read more
