    To The Uptight: Son Of Man Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 8, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,692 views

    Jesus challenged Nicodemus and us because He challenges our pride and status, or because we think that all we have done is now useless. The human Jesus shows us how to live without being uptight.

    Two men standing in a garden to talk; so much alike and yet so different. Two men, with much on their minds, with eternal issues at stake, and yet with very human concerns too. Two men, very different and yet brothers, much the same. Two men standing in a garden to take one another’s measure. ...read more

    In understanding and submitting to Jesus authority, Matthew 21:23-32 shows us: 1) The Confrontation (Matthew 21:23), 2) The Counter Question (Matthew 21:24–27), 3) The Characterization (Matthew 21:28–31a)

    Matthew 21:23–32 23 And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” 24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, and if you tell ...read more

    Plastic Faith

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 657 views

    Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

    An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

    An apologetic for the authority of the Bible

    You've all played a game called "gossip" that points out the weakness of spoken words: A minister, a few years ago, tells his associate: "Next Sunday, at 10:00 p.m., Hailey's comet will appear here. This happens only once every 75 years. Have the SS classes arrange everyone outside to watch this ...read more

    Delusion becomes all who do not fully embrace the truths of God's word. These people are intrigued with political leaders who have a worldly social agenda that embraces humanistic views.

    Election Years - Powerful Delusions 2 Thessalonians warns of a time when "The man of lawlessness [we be] revealed." (2 Thessalonians 2:3) The Apostle Paul tells us "...the secret power of lawlessness is already at work..." (2 Thessalonians 2:7) This is happening because "...all the ...read more

    As Paul discusses the transformed life Christians are called to, he addresses the need for Christians to submit to the governing authorities and to pay their obligations of taxes and respect.

    Does A Christian Have All Authority To Decree And Declare Things Over Their Lives?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 15, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,704 views

    There is a growing trend within some circles of Christianity to teach that a Born-Again Christian can declare and decree things over themselves, and others, as already done.

    The primary Scripture verse to support the teaching is: “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” (Job 22:28 KJV) The Hebrew word translated ‘decree’ in the verse is ‘gazar’ which is a verb in the masculine singular, and ...read more

    This is probably the oldest Psalm in the Bible, and was composed by Moses during the 40 years wandering of the children of Israel in the wilderness. There is so much spiritual profit in meditating this Psalm but, at the moment, fix your attention on v.9.

     | 7,401 views

    The Lord, who created our eyes, tongue, hands, heart, feet, lips and spirit, is vexed and grieved when we use them for evil. When we do, our bodies which were meant to be the temples of God’s Spirit become anatomical abominations!

    Intro: The human body is a marvellous creation – so complex and yet so beautiful (Psa. 139:14). Each of our organs has its special function. Working together in harmony under the brain’s direction, our members enable the body to live, work play and worship. We are strictly warned by God never to ...read more

    When something new and striking happens, we immediately focus on it. When someone appears unexpectedly and begins to do unusual things, he or she garners our attention. Jesus Christ is such a person.
