    Message 4 in an overview series through Philippians focusing on the theme that joy is not based on circumstances.

    Since the early 1970’s there have been dozens of books and hundreds of articles written from a supposedly Christian perspective that tell us how to build our self-esteem, our mate’s self-esteem, and our children’s self-esteem. We have been assured by the supposed “experts” on human behavior that ...read more

    Give Thanks

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 19, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,767 views

    We cannot give thanks FOR all circumstances but we can IN all circumstances. God has a purpose in every storm, shipwreck, tragedy, disease, or whatever that comes upon His children. Giving thanks to God is meant for our good; it enriches our life.

    Paul was a man who suffered a great deal of pain and yet wrote, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (I Thess 5: 16-18). For Paul to give us such an advice is amazing. • It shows that a Christian can give thanks ...read more

    What's The Big Deal About Adultery Series

    Contributed by Bruce Landry on May 23, 2005
    based on 28 ratings
     | 3,921 views

    What’s the big deal about adultery? Well to God it is a very big deal. Let us look at these things in light of God’s word.

    Adultery—(moichao, moy-khah’-o) is sexual unfaithfulness by a married person, but it is much more. Man’s idea of adultery is shattered by Christ (Matthew 19:9). Christ says adultery is not only the actual act, but adultery is committed by any one of five acts: A deliberate look. Passion within ...read more
