     | 5,138 views

    The sound heard today by a lot of the church says things like God wants you to be rich, God wants you to have 3 mansions, or God wants you to drive a Bentley, God never said he wanted you to drive a Bentley.

Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Let me clarify for all my Cleveland Brown fans, emphatically yes, I am a Cleveland Browns Fan, but I do live in Michigan, so I have some partiality towards the Detroit Lions and that is where it stops O-H-I-O.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,472 views

    How do we respond to the good and evil that is done to us? There are many ways we can respond, but God’s word teaches us the right way, and it is the way Jesus exemplified for us.

    We read in Numbers 22:12, And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

    While a turducken is not necessary for our physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual health (and in many ways is probably bad for your physical health), giving thanks is necessary for physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual health. Make time to be thankful.

    The Divided Mind

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Nov 20, 2024
     | 548 views

    We cultivate learned responses in life that we call upon as the need arises. This is a gift from God and represents the way in which we become productive people. However this same process also teaches us how to be a casualty of life. Renewing the mind is then found at the Cross of Christ.

     | 783 views

    Like all Christians, St. Paul was left wondering how to pray in many challenging situations and trials during his ministry as an Apostle of the Lord. Then, he found how to pray best.

    The words of St Paul, “We do not know what we should pray for as we ought,” I know, ring a bell with all of us Christians. When we are faced with situations that are beyond our grasp and capacity to control, we find ourselves without knowing what we should pray for as we ought. I remember my ...read more
