    Another Day, Another Millennium

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2003
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,178 views

    If the Lord were to ask what we have done with the last millennium, we would have to report that we never learned peace instead of war or love instead of hate. Our agenda for the new millennium needs to be justice, peace, and mission.

    God’s will for us is not only relevant when we are at peace, but it is also relevant during conflict.

    Harmony in the Local Church (I Peter 3:8-12) 1. When conflict arises, some Christians throw out all or many of the rules.

    Why is the tongue such an important member that it either hurts or helps people? How can we learn to tame the tongue for good rather than for evil?

    “We can live forty days without food, eight days without water, four minutes without air, but only a few seconds without hope”....How do we understand and therefore respond to the kind of world we are living in today?

    Our world is experiencing an uncertain time, a defining moment in the history of this planet. That is not an over dramatization of the events of the last month but rather a prophetic perspective of the years ahead. It seems summed up by the lament of a volunteer rescue worker in New York City, ...read more

    I was reading about a marriage counselor who was talking to a wife who was struggling with her husband.

    Persecution can and is real. The key is how we approach it. Peter offers 2 lessons of encouragement: We must "Cultivate Christian Love" and "Practice the Lordship of Christ".

    INTRODUCTION Persecution is real for the believer. While it comes in many different ways, it is real – The group we’ve been studying about in 1 Peter suffered this horror in much a different way than we do as Christians today: Dr. M.R. DeHaan put it this way: In the early days of the church. . . , ...read more
