    A look at the third temptation of Jesus in Matthew. The temptation to use power for good, but not in God's way.

    The devil saves the best for last in his plan to tempt Jesus. He takes him to a very high mountain and shows him the glories of the nation of Israel, and in a vision shows him all the kingdoms of the world, both present and future. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you ...read more

    For The Lord Watches Over The Way Of The Righteous

     | 10,180 views

    Developing and nurturing a defeatist attitude is something that we can’t afford to do. We can’t develop and nurture a defeated mind, because to do so will stop us from seeing and appreciating the blessings that God pours out upon His people.

    Seeing what’s happening around us, in other words, the conflicts and wars in the Middle East; the financial problems in Europe; and the financial problems here in the U.S., where the government is at the brink of a shut down, unemployment continues to grow, and foreclosures continue to ...read more

    All of us here will try to solve problems and face situations using our own strength, but the truth of it all is that if we do not allow the Holy Spirit to give us conviction and guide us, then we will fail.

    Like I said last week, we all live with a certain level of stress. Due to our responsibilities and obligations, on a daily basis we are pulled in different directions. And as we were able to determine, the weight of these things slowly begins to fall on our shoulders and that causes our faith to ...read more

    What an amazing paradox! If it is not a paradox it is at least the opposite of what our culture tells us today. The paradox is that Jesus says that the man who mourns will be really happy. The world regards such a statement as utterly ridiculous. Who want

    "But what about you...who do you say I am?" Peter gave the correct answer to that question from Jesus to his disiciples. Our life and our eternal destiny are dependent on our answer to that same question.

    Jesus asks "Who do you say I am?" Like the blind man Jesus wants to heal us so that we can see the full truth.

    DO YOU SEE ANYTHING? A few years ago I went to Israel for a conference.

    Jude’s letter is a call to contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. In today’s lesson we observe the call to contend for truth against heresy.
