    Some of you are searching for something, but you don’t know what it is you’re looking for.

    How many of you chronically lose or misplace things? You never notice it something is lost until you need it and it’s always in the last place you look.

    The Temptation To Be Perfect Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 4,938 views

    To be perfect as God is perfect, paradoxically, requires us to understand our own weaknesses and failures the way God does, and to love ourselves, despite those weaknesses and failures, the way God does.

    It may sound like a contradiction in terms to have a sermon on the temptation to be perfect. After all aren’t temptations about being imperfect. Doesn’t God want us to be perfect just as he’s perfect? But you know, there is such a thing as the temptation to be perfect. All of us are subject to it ...read more

    There is a famine in the land of the true and holy righteousness of God our Father. It’s all because God has too many Prodigal Sons in the pigpen of sin.
