Abstaining From Worldly Associations

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Nov 23, 2011

Paul taught that the corrupt ways of the world was totally incongruent with the life that is in Christ. The Apostle Paul asks some searching questions to point out the absurdity of Christians trying to straddle the spiritual fence in their daily life.

Abstaining from Worldly Associations Text: 2 Cor. 6:14, 17-18 Intro: Though Second Corinthians 6:14 & 15 “…are often applied to various sorts of alliances (e.g., mixed marriages, improper business associations), Paul’s primary association was probably ecclesiastical."

Breath Of God Or Copd?

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 4, 2023

I believe the modern church is suffering from spiritual COPD; we’re not getting the Breath of life from God often enough to animate us, transform us, heal & renew us, and help us overcome. God's Breath is our source of life, gives us purpose, & power.

What Is Truth?

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023

Wow. Has our society today lost hold on absolute truth or what? I shudder to think how blurred the line between right and wrong, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous will be five years from now! This message attempts to bring some clarity to that all-important question; what is truth?

What Is Truth? You and I live in a world that has almost totally rejected the existence of absolute truth. The current pervading mindset today seems to be that everyone has their own truth, and that everyone else must affirm them in whatever truth they claim to have—despite how ridiculous it may ...read more

Angels Among Us St. Michael And All Angels
