    You Got Future Plans?

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 3, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,530 views

    It is good to have goals, but goals will disappoint us if we leave God out of them. There is no point in making plans as though God did not exist, because the future is in His hands. That man walks most safely who has the least confidence in himself.

    Opening illustration: Fortuneteller, gazing into crystal ball, to frog: You are going to meet a beautiful young woman. From the moment she sets eyes on you she will have an insatiable desire to know all about you. She will be compelled to get close to you - you’ll fascinate her." Frog: "Where am I? ...read more

     | 8,268 views

    James helps us not to fall prey to the peril of presumption in today’s text. He does so by first looking at the problem of presumption. Then he helps us understand the perspective of providence.

    Scripture Jim Elliot was martyred fifty years ago today on January 8, 1956. The life and death of Jim Elliot is the testimony of a man committed to the will of God. He sought God’s will, pleaded for it, waited for it, and—most importantly—obeyed it. Jim Elliot’s martyrdom at the tender age of ...read more

    Take It Back!

    Contributed by Tommy Jackson on Jan 16, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 24,166 views

    Unbelievable pain, incredible hurt. Why God? Why? Answers don’t come easily; sometimes they never come. But God wants us to know HIM and our pain drives us to him.

    TAKE IT BACK! One of my all-time favorite movies is Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first film in the Indiana Jones trilogy. I think it’s Steven Spielberg’s greatest work. In the film Hitler’s Nazis have stolen the newly recovered Ark of the Covenant and placed it aboard a German submarine. The Ark ...read more

    Do you remember the good times in life? God told Joshua to make sure and remember by setting up a memorial. He said when your children ask, remind them of my goodness!

    Remember When… OPEN: Every person, no matter who they are has struggles in life. Problems and difficult times come to everyone. Jesus said that “…in this life we will have trouble” (John 16:33) …and we know that Jesus didn’t lie. But you know, the opposite is also true… In this life we are ...read more

    Our greatest dreams will come true when we get close to God and give our hearts completely to Him. How to get prayers answered and how not to.

    When Dreams Come True James 4:1-10 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. ...read more

    The Tragedy Of Trash Talk Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 3, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,949 views

    The real tragedy of talking trash is that it hurts people and damages our relationship with God. How we treat (speak of) others not only affects them, but it affects our own closeness with God.

    The Tragedy of Trash Talk James 4:11-12 11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the ...read more

    WE SHALL OVERCOME Text: James 4:6 – 10 God has been really good to us over the past several months.

    The Dash

     | 14,451 views

    The Dash is a message written from the thought that our entire life is depicted as a dash on our tombstone. Different emotions and stages of life are discussed.

    I am resending The Dash. I think I sent the wrong copy before, because this version has no quotation marks, bullets, or apostrophes. I retyped this one from notepad or an old Works program. If it still doesn't work, let me know. THE DASH I. Almost every human being has one. Some have decayed, ...read more

    Losing My Religion? "Scandalous"

    Some have forgotten their calling...they've been called in every direction, but have forgotten the true calling they received the day that the Holy Spirit moved them to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour...the day they became born again!

    Losing my Religion? "Scandalous" Illus. There is a story that tells about a man who was looking for work without any luck for many weeks. So he decided to take a break and visit the zoo. While he was at the zoo, he asked the zookeeper if they had any openings. The zookeeper motioned the man over ...read more

    If a Christian humbles himself/herself (depend on and trust in God’s grace), God will show favor!

    Ever wonder about this question: If God already knew people were going to sin against Him, why did He create them?? Open your Bibles to James and look back briefly with me to James 1:16-17… God is self-sufficient! God existed sufficiently before humans! God has no need for anything or ...read more
