     | 4,436 views

    The Christian Worldview has permeated all of Western Civilization. The impact of Christian thought is the source of the freedoms that we enjoy. To separate Biblical truth from our society is to doom our culture to self-destruction.

    Matthew 5:13-20 NASB 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be ...read more

    In this short passage, Jesus gives three simple invitations to bring rest for the stressed: come to Jesus, take his yoke, and learn from him. Here is the essence of Christian discipleship, to bind ourselves to our Lord 24/7.

    Matthew 11:28-30 Rest for the Stressed I choose our scripture each week from the Lectionary, which is a systematic reading through most of the Bible over the course of three years. On any given Sunday, it contains an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, a New Testament reading, and a passage from the ...read more

    Jesus said that He did not come to abolish The law, but to fulfill it. Does thsi mean that the Mosaic law is still apllicable to us? Do we still have to adhere to it? What did He mean by fulfilling The Law and if He did fulfill it HOW did He do it?

    Jesus said that He did not come to abolish the law or the prophets. What did He mean? What did He mean by the spirit of murder? Let's look at that topic in the Sermon on the Mount.

    Jesus said that He did not come to abolish the law or the prophets. What did He mean? These were the two main divisions of the Hebrew Scriptures. So then, the Old Testament will not be abolished, but fulfilled. What does fulfill mean. It can’t mean abolish, because Jesus said that He did not come ...read more

    Jesus said that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. This means that He wants us to exceed the spiritual expectations prescribed by the Law; as we are to strive for excellence in our walk with God.

    I have entitled our message, “Exceeding Expectations,” and I want to begin by sharing a true story. A contractor in Mexico was hired to build a Catholic Church, but he used cheap materials in order to make more money. He reasoned that the quality of the materials did not matter, so long as the ...read more
