Probably not after you’ve been hearing them in the shopping centres for the last 2 months! How about Christmas presents? Are you like Garry’s wife in this cartoon?

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Oct 18, 2008
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,969 views

    Disagreements are normally centered around power and control. Getting our own way with little regard to what is actually best for a majority or a right thing to do.

    The Heart of the matter James 4:1-10 For the past couple of months we have had a sort of strange schedule. We have been in and out of the book of James.

    Jesus continues the teaching of the Third Commandment by demonstrating that God's name and integrity is to be upheld, and we are to take the issue of swearing and blasphemy seriously by controlling our language.

    A sermon on the tongue. James says the tongue controls, destroys, and cannot be tamed, but fortunately there is one Perfect Man, Jesus Christ, and he points us to Him.

    The Answer To Religion Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Oct 20, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,139 views

    Whenever religion is infused with independence, power, and control it becomes ultimate evil, but when it leads into the way of submission, sacrifice, and service it bears the ultimate goodness of God.

    Much argument today is made about whether religion is helpful or harmful for society. Of course much of the discussion hinges on what we mean by religion. It‟s a topic that many of us could really go off on. But if I had to sum up what I see it would be this: whenever religion is infused ...read more
