    If you want to keep from being deceived, follow only a leader, who, like a father, jealously guards your pure devotion to Christ, generously cares for you, and genuinely shows you his true self.

    Pastor John Ortberg asks us to imagine picking your car up from the shop after a routine tune-up, and the technician says, “This car is in great shape.

    Having, Losing, Choosing

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 31, 2009
     | 4,613 views

    Whatever we think we possess can be lost. God gives it to us for only so long as we need it, but after that it becomes an idol. We must choose to give away time, talent, treasure for things that do last, and for life itself.

    Almost nothing that you and I count on to be permanent really is permanent. Almost everything that we think will last forever, it turns out, can be destroyed. Anything we have we can also very easily lose. We live in a monumental city. Capitol Hill, the monuments, the Federal Triangle, the White ...read more

    Jesus used Lot’s wife as an example of how dangerous it can be to look back and long for the sinful things that God has saved us from. Jesus used two events in history to make the point of how people would ignore the warnings of God’s Ministers, or servants. The days of Noah: The flood ...read more
