    The Love Deal

     | 3,568 views

    Our society confuses LOVE and LUST. Unlike lust, God’s kind of love is directed toward others, not inward toward ourselves. This kind of love goes against our natural inclinations. It is natural to love them that love us, but it is supernatural to love th

     | 13,158 views

    Peter had denied Jesus three times. Jesus asks Peter is he truly loved him. Jesus may need to ask us the same thing. Peter didn't love Jesus as much as he thought he did. Do we love Jesus as much as we think we do?

    Jesus desires our love above all else. Can we leave the past behind and reaffirm our love to Christ?

    I was reading in the book, “Streams in the Desert” which stated that one of life’s greatest paradoxes is knowing that the only person who is truly at rest is the one who had achieved it by working through the struggles of conflict, mistakes and regret. The book went on to note that: “The person ...read more

    For The Love Of Pete

    Contributed by Andrew Corbett on Apr 1, 2016

    Following Christ as a leader involves answering one essential question. This question is answered by how we respond to the Enemy's sifting, and how we respond to Christ's impassioned enquiries.

    <h1>For The Love of Pete</h1> Of the many interactions that The Christ had with people, He had two particularly extremely curious conversations with his chief apostle, Peter. Curious may not be the right word. Bewildering may be more apt. One of them required Peter to act, the other required Peter ...read more

    Probably the most familiar verse in the Bible, John 3:16, gives God's motive and means to provide salvation for a sinful human race.

    No Greater Love John 3:16 How can a person escape hell and go instead to heaven? The answer is given through the very basic message of Jesus and Christianity: It is not by devoting yourself to religious activities, morality, virtue, philosophy or philanthropy but by faith in the works of Christ. ...read more

     | 1,551 views

    You could get hundreds of answers to this question. The true answer is found in God. God so loved the world.

    The greatest love ever expressed was the love shown to a Christ denying world when Christ died upon the cross for the sins of all mankind. Love was manifest at Calvary. Many Christian people are not really sure God loves them, even after he has saved us. Sometimes because of the trying ...read more
