     | 2,213 views

    The call of Jeremiah has challenges for us and we look at them. Abortion and the unborn are examined from God's perspective. How many sit down and laboriously draft and redraft some message straining to “polish” some sermon. Just speak what God has given!

    Life is a trust from God. We are to be good stewards of God-given time and to manage time well by making wise choices. Time management can be learned.

    One of the realities about the church of today is that there are a large number of believers that are very confused. I am not speaking about the false doctrines and sects; I am speaking about the confusion that there is reference the purpose of the church. I say this because when we ask a ...read more

    God’s Law is a stern teacher, but stern for a purpose: to drive us to the Gospel of Jesus Christ where real genuine freedom is found.

    One time when Jesus was off praying by himself, his disciples nearby, he asked them, "What are the crowds saying about me, about who I am?" [19] They said, "John the Baptizer. Others say Elijah. Still others say that one of the prophets from long ago has come back." [20] He then asked, ...read more
