The Lord says that we will know them by thier fruit. We will also know you by your fruit. As Christians we must bear fruit.

A tree and its fruit Matthew 7:15-20 Introduction- Both writers Luke and Matthew talk about judging others and bearing fruit for the kingdom of God. They both thought it important to show how it would affect believers. It seems that we are not to judge others. That it is impossible to be fruit ...read more

Jesus has just spent probably several hours on this hot hillside teaching his disciples what a Christian is, what effect they are to have on the world, what his role was in coming to earth, and then giving many illustrations of Christian attitudes and behaviours that define us as Children of God ...read more

Cutting Corners With Untempered Mortar

Contributed by Bob Phillips on May 29, 2014

Many are leaving out critical directions given in the Bible, and cutting corners as they say to avoid following the instructions given by God.

Jesus gave the directions we must follow, but few want to follow his directions to the letter. In out text passage he said if we hear him and follow the instructions given by his word we are wise builders and our (Spiritual) House will withstand the storms of this life.

When Faith Is Weakened Series

Hate The Sin; Love The Sinner

If we are to effectively witness the Gospel to the world, regarding all kinds of evil, and living virtuous lives, we must do exactly as God has done to us: love the sinner and hate the sin.

It’s amazing how similar the climate in the Holy Land is to the climate here in South Texas, especially in the summer. The figs in our back yard are ripening, and I understand that this hot month in Palestine is also the season for ripe figs. The Scriptures are right even on agricultural ...read more

Ask, Seek, Knock

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 29, 2014

Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Does this mean Jesus is our genie in a bottle? Can I ask for anything I want and Jesus will just give it to me? There's much to understand about what Jesus said here.

ASK, SEEK, KNOCK Matt. 7:7-12 1) Ask, Seek, Knock (7-8). Here we see three different words three different meanings. I think this illustrates a process; like a chain of events if you will. As the Fourfold gospel commentary puts it, “Asking is a simple use of voice, seeking is a motion of the ...read more
