Marijuana Use: Willingly Walking Into Bondage

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Feb 1, 2014

What's really behind the movement in America to legalize marijuana? Why do we want to sanction people being put into bondage to a substance and in a broader sense sin? This is very troubling as Christians seem to be having a hard time standing against sin

A couple of weeks ago I preached a message on the Christian views on legalizing marijuana in America. If you’ll recall, I wasn’t very supportive of the idea. The notion that we can legalize sin and somehow make state sanctioning of sin a good thing despite the fact that legalizing ...read more

Stop Focusing On Your Buts Series

Pride by far is one of the most deadly sins. Pride acts as the gateway to just about every other sin, and Pride acts as a barrier between you and God, and your will and God’s will.

A Clear Conscience

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022

Webster’s Dictionary defines the conscience as “an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one’s behavior.” The conscience is something God has given every person--an alarm that sounds inside you, which often leads to feelings of guilt or shame.

Three Kinds of Conscience: 1. A Clear Conscience — the alarm is working properly Acts 23:1, “And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.” Acts 24:16, “And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a ...read more

Death By Lying Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Nov 25, 2009

Sin kills the soul, the community, momentum and our witness in the world.

I think that is because judgmental-ism and “holier than thou” attitudes have typically characterized our discussions of sin, and often the end result has ...read more
