Refuting The Entitled Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

In entitlement thinking, “title equals entitlement.” Favor is demanded based on one’s status or position. It seems the descendants of Joseph felt entitled to more land because they were a large tribe; but bigger doesn't equal blessing.

When it comes to possessing the land, we can’t just stand around waiting for someone to hand it to us. The same is true for those who are drawn to the work of God in our church and who want to partner with us. When we begin making an impact for the kingdom, and as we start leading others to ...read more

Too many churches have forgotten that there is an entry into God’s kingdom, the way of the new birth, in order to become children of the living God, and instead, they seem to be content that people just come to church. Nicodemus had to learn the necessity of the new birth - AND HE DID.

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 19, 2022

Paul beats his body--- is ruthless toward it-- because he understands the dangers of giving in to sin. Idolatry, and sexual immorality, are dangerous.
