    Never did a young man display a brighter promise, but broke down more pathetically.

    THE RICH YOUNG RULER And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, ...read more

    If he had known who he was speaking to the rich young ruler would have ask for mercy instead of asking what he could do.

    His Goodness

    As we continue in series on the fruit of the Spirit, we consider fruit of goodness.

    Introductory Considerations 1. It is a word that is used much more than it is understood. Parents tell their children to be good and when a daughter behaves a mother will say "Good girl". When things have gone well, we will say - "that was a good day" Perhaps we had a good vacation or saw a good ...read more

    Are we living as though this earth is all that we have to live for, or are we living as though Heaven was really our destiny?

    Living to Die and Dying to Live A chicken and a pig came upon a church building and read the advertisement on the billboard out front, which read, "Help Us Feed the Poor." Immediately the chicken suggested they help feed the poor with bacon and eggs. The pig thought for a moment and said, ...read more

     | 104,892 views

    An examination of the infamous Rich Young Ruler that reveals the mistakes mistakes that led to his tragic walkaway from Christ.

    He was a wealthy man, and a young man. His eyes were set on religious matters - on teachers, eternal life, good deeds. He had the look of a seeker: he seemed willing to listen and eager to learn. He seemed a disciple-in-the-making. But his story has a dark end. It was he that inspired Jesus famous ...read more

    Here God makes it a requirement for salvation! Because He worshiped his money! Do you worship things too?

    MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! Workers earn it, spendthrifts burn it, bankers lend it, women spend it, forgers fake it, taxes take it, dying leaves it, heirs receive it, thrifty save it, misers crave it, robbers seize it, rich increase it, gamblers lose it ... I could use it. Richard ...read more

    The Credible Christian Man Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 3, 2002
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,409 views

    To be credible as Christians, men need to acknowledge their dependence on God in everything, to make God their first priority, to make their spiritual security more important than their financial security, humbly admit their mistakes and express their sex

    You may wonder whether a sermon in a Sunday service is the place to be talking about being a credible Christian man, given that at least half the congregation are women, but let me suggest that at least some of what we’ll talk about today is equally relevant to women, and even those bits that ...read more

    If you want to be dedicated, REALLY dedicated to Christ, ask him what he wants from you, but be careful, he is going to answer you. Are you ready for that answer?

    Digging deeper Matthew 19:16-24 16 Someone came to Jesus with this question: "Teacher, what good things must I do to have eternal life?" 17 "Why ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied.

    To become a Christian, you must recognize your sinfulness.

    This man who came to Jesus was the perfect evangelistic target. He was ready to sign the car, raise his hand, walk the aisle, or whatever. There was no need to explain to him how we know God exists, why we can trust the Bible, or why we should be concerned about eternity. To the human eye, he ...read more
