    Attribute One | A Man Submits To Authority Series

    Contributed by Vince Miller on Apr 26, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,825 views

    A man is someone who can submit to authority. Submission is an attitude that results from a mindset. The man who excels at this understands that he cannot self-govern and needs to be governed. Therefore, he gives up his will to a higher authority.

    Well today, we are looking at the first of nine attributes. Today’s attribute is – Submits to Authority. I believe that Jesus Christ was teaching the attributes during his life, as he walked this earth. That he was trying to help, us to understand – as a man – what it means to be a true man of God. ...read more

    Today, we continue our study of the word revolution and we concentrate on its final meaning: “The overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another by the governed.” Throughout history, we’ve seen many situations in wh

    For the past two weeks we have learned that a revolution is the action by a celestial body of going around in an orbit. It also has the connotation of a sudden, radical and complete change.

    Does our faith permit us to disobey the government or to evade taxes? Are Romans 13 and Acts 5 incompatible? How can we sincerely and creatively live as citizens of two kingdoms? What is the underlying principle that governs our choices?

    [Sermon preached on 4 November 2018, 24th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Some years ago, we needed to get a little home renovation done. I asked someone for a quotation.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,736 views

    The rise of Christianity in the West propelled Western nations to great advances in science, economics and politics. This Christian foundation is the basis for America's freedom and greatness, and is in great danger as America turns away from God.

    This week, America celebrates 239 years of political independence. But Freedom is more threatened now than at any time since the General Howe nearly defeated Washington’s army on the shores of Long Island in 1776. Friday’s ruling by the US Supreme Court is not ultimately about ...read more

     | 2,213 views

    In His final week of public ministry, Jesus confronted a series of challenging questions His enemies attempted to use as traps. One question dealt with the issue of paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus' surprising answer would settle the issues of loyalty and obligation to both God and Caesar.

    Jesus had spent the first days of His final week shaking up the status quo concerning the worship of the LORD, the reverence due to the House of God, and to recall its purpose. He exposed the moneymaking schemes of the religious leaders, rebuked their practices, and drove out the merchants who ...read more
