    Contributed by Thomas Bartlett on Nov 2, 2020
     | 2,957 views

    There are only two men in the Bible called meek: Jesus and Moses. Neither of them was pushovers. The Greek word referred to a wild horse tamed or medicine that could tame a fever. Strength under control. Meekness is not weakness, it’s strength under control.

    The model of the book of Acts is clear. The apostles went with the gospel to people not just like themselves, but to stangers. That’s what love compels us to do!

    Acts 11: 19-30 "Love" is one of those sadly misunderstood words in the human language today. What do people usually mean when they say they "love" something or someone? I consulted the American Heritage Dictionary of the Enlish Language. The definitions are ranked by how frequently they are ...read more

    While serving the Lord and walking with Him, we learn a great paradox - genuine gain often comes through loss. We must lose certain things in order to gain what the Lord desires for us.

    Loss is Gain Matthew 16: 24-26 1 Tim.6:6-7 – But godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. Many in our world today are fixated on material wealth and social status in this life. The majority of their energy is ...read more

    November 20, 2021 2nd Corinthians differs from 1st Corinthians in that it deals with personal attacks leveled at Paul rather than doctrinal issues. Around 56/57 AD, Paul was in Macedonia when Titus finally brought word regarding the church in Corinth. Good News!! The Corinthian believers ...read more
