Giving Up On Grace Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 25, 2005

We like to do things our own way. God often times is much too slow for our schedule ? or He doesn?t do things the way we would ? so we short circuit His work by coming up with our own, much better plan - but that can mean giving up on grace.

Do you ever read The Family Circus? I always like the ones where the Mom and Dad tell their oldest son to go get the mail or something - and instead of walking out the door and down the driveway and back - he goes out his window, around back, through the garden, plays with the dog, jumps the ...read more

The Devil Has A Plan For Your Life

Contributed by Paul Fritz on May 6, 2005

God’s plan promises love, joy, peace, and fruitfulness, but too few people choose correctly. Instead, they subtley surrender to the devil’s plan for their lives and suffer as Adam and Eve did in the garden. Nine points.

Faith And Works

Contributed by Steven Ostrowski on May 25, 2005

Works is not seperate from faith, but a necessary component of our faith.

The Faith alone argument is no where in the Bible except in James where James refutes the argument.
