     | 5,760 views

    Jesus has provided us with a blueprint—with a new way of being fully, genuinely, and gloriously human. It’s a way that goes down deep into the roots of our personalities and produces a different kind of behavior altogether.

    Ephesians 2:1-10 Matthew 5:21-26 “Be Reconciled” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor Of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I hate it when I make a mistake. I just hate it when I do something that makes someone angry at me. It’s like a heavy load on my back. And ...read more

    There is nothing wrong with the Word of God as the perfect seed but in order to be effective in our lives it is important that we plant it in good ground.

    Love And Respect In Marriage Out Of Reverence For Christ Series

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 30, 2011
     | 7,694 views

    Jesus loves his church sacrificially & unconditionally. Men are to reflect that in their love for their wives, even if that love is not returned. Wives are to submit out of reverence for Christ. The 2011 Royal wedding provided some timely illustrations.

    A man and a woman, who have never met before, find themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, the two are very tired and fall asleep quickly – he in the upper bunk and she in the lower. However, at 2.00 ...read more

    I heard Adrian Rogers give this example: We all have seen Canada Geese fly in their V formation with one leg of the V formation longer than the other leg. Why do they fly in the V formation? The lead goose is making it easier for the other geese who are following his lead. He is moving the wind ...read more

    Soul For Sale

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 3, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,628 views

    In America, you can metaphorically and literally sell your soul and be rewarded for it. One wonders how the purchaser intended to collect. We can’t literally sell our soul, but we can lose our soul to gain something else. We need to ponder Jesus’ question

Medieval as it seems, however, several cases of soul-selling have occurred. Wired magazine reported that a 29-year-old university ...read more
