    No Resolutions Just Commitments

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 7, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,953 views

    Jesus calls us to make cross-carrying commitments. These are not resolutions that can be broken and forgotten in a matter of days. When a person picks up a cross, it’s a one-way trip. No one expects to come back.

    I HATE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS For nearly a decade, I said, “Next January, I will start eating right and exercising.” You can tell what happened with my resolutions. NOTHING. I did not start eating healthy foods. I did not start exercising, but that all changed last January 14th. I had a ...read more

    So Near And Yet So Far

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 14, 2009

     | 9,190 views

    We will never be as close to Christ as we could be or think we are if we are oblivious to today’s issues or build monuments to past achievements.

    We can be close to something, and yet miss it. We can be almost on target, almost where we want to .be, and yet, if we’re not exactly where we ought to be, we miss it. So near and yet so far. A couple of years ago, when my wife and I were touring England, we were in Victoria Station, one of the ...read more

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Oct 15, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,611 views

    What’s your goal in life? At the end of your life, looking back what’ll determine whether you’ve been a success or not? When you’ve run the race what’ll determine if you’ve finished well and if you’ll hear Christ say, “Well done”?

    WHAT’S YOUR GOAL IN LIFE? LUKE 9:23-26 Introduction: What is your goal in life? When you come to the end of your life and look back what would determine whether you have been a success or not? When you have run the race what will determine if you have finished well and if you will hear the words ...read more

    The Christian Eula Series

    Ever wonder what you are signing up for with Jesus Christ? Luke 9 gives us some practical examples of the principals in the Christian discipleship.

    Do you know what a "EULA" is? It’s not a form of Hawaiian dance. It’s not what you say about a person at a funeral. It stands for "End User License Agreement." If you have ever installed a piece of computer software, you have encountered a EULA. It’s that huge mass of legal garbly-gook full of ...read more

    Have you ever heard the expression, "I would like to buy him/her for what their worth and sell them for what they think their worth?" To God your eternal soul is worth more than all the gold of this world.

    Making Sacrifices

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 27, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,870 views

    Be willing to make sacrifices for God and be blessed. When we give of ourselves, God’s will can be fulfilled. Ask, what does God expects from us today?

    We tend to position ourselves on the receiving end, and ask God for His blessings. • Surely He loves us and we know He will bless us and help us through life. • We need also to see ourselves on the ‘giving’ end, and offer to God what He expects from us. It’s good to get the right perspective. • ...read more
