    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 4, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,102 views

    Most people, Christians included, use prayer like a fire extinguisher. They only use it when there's a fire. Truth is we have an need for God every moment of our lives.

    When do you need God? Most people (Christians included) only reserve God for the “this-is-so-tough-I-can’t-do-this-without-you-God” moments of life such as when life-threatening sickness comes, death visits us, or financial anxieties take control of our lives, or when career ...read more

     | 2,797 views

    We should imitate both God's love and His purity in the way that we live. But that kind of life is only possible as we allow the Holy Spirit to fill us.

    Many of you have probably seen the movie Groundhog Day where Bill Murray portrays Phil, a grumpy weatherman who got stuck living the same day, February 2, over and over again.

     | 1,573 views

    God gives us what we value most. If it’s public recognition, we get it. We get God’s approval only if that is what we value.

    Our culture admires publicity. People are famous just for being famous. We grow up watching people who command the public eye; we call them stars. They are the people with money, fame, position, power and recognition. They are held up by the media as larger than life, people to be envied. We ...read more

     | 2,594 views

    Life is a series of examinations. We face trials, temptations and tests on a daily basis which ultimately shape our lives and destinies. It is only the dead that are exempt from the constant examination of life.

    The Bible shows us that Satan battles, hinders and oppresses not only in the spiritual realm but also the realm of man. Let’s look at several examples of Satan’s powers and his battles.

    There is only one thing we can believe without hesitation - God's Word. This message is about how the testimony of my brother at his burial reminded everyone of this truth.

    In John 17:16, Jesus says of His disciples "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” It reminded me of a song we sang years ago in church. ¶ This world is not my home. I'm just passing through. My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon ...read more
