From Darkness To Light Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000

How are we to be people of integrity in a world that’s opposed to God? By being children of light, and living as light in the world. That means ensuring that the things we do are things that we’re proud of, things that we’d gladly do in the presence of Go

What does it mean to be a person of integrity? Well, the word derives from the word integer, which means something that’s complete or whole in itself.

Trouble In The King's Household Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 3, 2004

As great a king as David was, he was still a human king with all the flaws of any human being. It would take the coming of Jesus before we had a king who truly reflected God’s heart in all he did; whose leadership would fully reflect God’s character.

Why is it in here? Well, there are a couple of reasons it’s in here. One is to show how quickly God’s judgement on ...read more
