    Sometimes I think we forget that God does not only love, but that He is also a just God who punishes sin. Let¡¦s remember that every sin we commit is a sin against God, and that sin not only hurts us, it also hurts others, and it hurts our relationship wi

     | 22,744 views

    We often hear, "How I live my life and the things I do is nobody's business but mine as long as I don't hurt anyone else." Nothing could be further from the truth." How you live matters more than you think.

    What's Achan You? Joshua 7:2-9 There is an old saying, first penned by John Donne, "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of a continent, a part of the main." What Donne was saying is that we are all in some way connected to each other and what happens to one person affects us ...read more

    Individualism

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013
     | 4,923 views

    We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

    Sin, whether secret or public endangers not only the individual but those around as well. A person, a family, a community, a nation can fall under the curse of sin with grievous consequences. Abstain from all appearances of evil!

    The factors that contributed to Israel’s defeat at Ai are the same which contribute to the defeat of God’s people today.

    The people of Israel had just experienced a miraculous victory over the city of Jericho. The next city for them to conquer was the city of Ai. The forces of Ai were much smaller than were the forces of Jericho, but much to the surprise of the army of Israel, rather than defeating the army of Ai, ...read more
