     | 1,796 views

    We have not been good to the Body of Christ like a plastic surgeon that got his MD from a Cracker Jack Box.

    1 Corinthians 12:25  That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.  26  And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.  Ephesians 4:1  ...read more

    Through the cross the believer has the promise that God is working in all things for his eternal good. But it’s a different story for the nonbeliever.

    The mule in the well! A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule "braying", or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that ...read more

    . In Esther chapter 5, God has preserved for us a look at the contrast between the bad guy, Haman, and the good gal, Esther. As we discover these character qualities, or the lack thereof, examine your own life to see what you need to work on.

    The Differences Between The Good Gal And The Bad Guy Esther 5:1-14 Preached Wednesday May 7, 2003 Introduction: One of the fascinating things about the book of Esther is its rich character development. There is much to learn about the people in this story. So far we have seen how God’s ...read more

    In a world of injustice, it is appropriate to pray a prayer of anguish; God gives us memories of His grace to sustain when He seems absent, and may force us to rock bottom so that we can heal fully.

    There is very little justice in the world. But that’s old news. People have felt from time immemorial that they were not being treated fairly. Just about everybody thinks that they deserve a better deal than they’re getting. There is very little justice in the world. But that’s old news. Now ...read more

    Things look bad for Israel; then, God's man comes from the East (can you hear the spurs jingle?)

    Following the reign of King David, his son, Solomon reigned in wisdom and the strength of God for approximately 30-35 years before his own apostasy and decline. After Solomon, the Kings of Israel all did evil in the sight of the Lord. They forsook His ways to serve idols, and led the people ...read more

    What makes good leadership material? It might surprise you that it’s not the strong, dictatorial man-in-charge, but is someone who models the gentle and giving spirit of Jesus.

    Timothy found himself in a pickle. False teachers had come in and were fomenting dissent among the men and using freedoms in Christ to pull women off into their deception and rebellion. Some of these men were leaders in the church. He needed a strong hand to put this troubled church back on track ...read more

    It’s the age-old theological question - why do bad things happen to good people? Jesus, as ever, doesn’t give us the response we expect. ...

    They say that philosophy deals with two sorts of questions: * Questions to which everybody knows the answer (eg. Do I really exist?). * Questions to which nobody knows the answer (eg. Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more

    God is the master of bringing good things out of bad things. He loves to turn crucifixions into resurrections. How does He do it? Phil.1:12-20 shows us.

    “HOW GOD BRINGS GOOD OUT OF BAD” Philippians 1:12-20 ________________________________________ Tonight we’re going to see how God brings good out of Paul’s bad circumstances.

    Rewritten for Calverton Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD: When terrible things happen, pray honestly, in complaint; remember what God has done in the past; and know that He may be forcing us to see how much we need Him.

    There is very little justice in the world. Many people feel that they are not being treated fairly. Just about all of us think we deserve a better deal than we are getting. We think that there is very little justice in the world. But that’s old news. We already know that. So what do you do ...read more

     | 9,241 views

    So why do bad things happen to good people? They don’t; it’s as simple as that. Good things (eternal life) happen only to good people (born-again believers); and bad things (eternal punishment) only happen to bad people (sinners).

    Do we have the right to complain? I. One of the main everyday sins we all commit is addressed in Philippians 2:14 “Do all things without grumbling and complaining.” A. This is based on the assumption that we deserve more than we are getting; that this bad thing shouldn’t be happening to us ...read more

    When unworthy people get good things, prayer helps us discover that we too do have good things, that the issue is not goods but our feelings, and that ultimately God is just and gracious.

    There is, indeed, very little justice in the world. But that’s very old news. We established that last week. Last week we talked about that age-old problem of what you do what bad things happen to good people. We thought about how, when good people get into tough times, it just feels as though ...read more
