    Do You Reject Evil?

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Sep 16, 2006
     | 3,911 views

    Is there really evil in the world? Are we ready to resist evil?

    Some questions are hard to answer. And they should be hard. As a minister I stand before a bride and groom and ask, “Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forth, as long as you both shall live?” Then I ask the groom a similar question. There ...read more

    Are you trying to break bones of resistance or break relationships?

    Pro 25:15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. Ouch! This smacks pretty much all of us. Sometimes it takes real patience when dealing with someone that is not of like persuasion, especially politicians. Note we are to speak with a soft tongue. I have been ...read more

     | 705 views

    We do not easily submit to all this burning up of dross within us. We do not want to be buried with Christ in his cross and alive with Christ in His resurrection. We naturally resist the death of self. Yet God helps us submit to the refiner's fire.

    Many great saints I’ve known, even in the Salvation army, many are retiring now, and they say that when they retire, they are grateful that God did not show them the entire path all the ups and downs because they would not have been able to handle the thought of it. But step by step, along the ...read more

    Christ clearly teaches that it is not religious observance or our goodness that saves. Christ teaches that it simply takes child-like faith. But what does it mean to come to God in child-like faith?

    Spiritual Growth Takes Humility; Pride Kills It, Where Do We Get Humility?

    Contributed by David Leach on Jan 13, 2014
     | 5,809 views

    Pride - is dependence on and confidence in myself, it always seeks to take the credit. Humility - is dependence on and confidence in God, it only seeks to give God the credit.

    Spiritual growth takes humility; pride kills it, where do we get humility? 1 Pe 5:5 ...Be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble. (shouldn’t we know what God means by pride and humility?) Pride - is dependence on and confidence in myself, it ...read more

    Some people do not like submission. But submission is what God wants.

    “Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God—that by doing good you ...read more

    King Rehoboam walked away from God, refusing to serve the Lord like David his grandfather or Solomon his father. He simply refused to commit his life to God and he and his people paid a terribly high price. God is worthy of our very best. A we must humble ourselves and give it.
