    The Christian - The Judgement Seat Of Christ – Part 2 Of 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 27, 2025
     | 297 views

    Above all things God wants faithfulness. Rewards attach to a faithful servant. God is a God of small things and in quietness and confidence is our strength. We look at the quality of works and the testing by fire. To not make the mistake of “TRYING to do” for a reward as that is wrong.

    THE CHRISTIAN - THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST – PART 2 OF 3 In the last study we opened up this subject to see both the joy and seriousness of it. This time we will consider more aspects of The Judgement Seat of Christ including what brings reward and the quality of deeds done for Christ. I will ...read more

     | 167 views

    The gospel restores body, mind, and spirit—inviting us to guard the soul’s avenues and live as God’s holy, whole temples.

    In the beginning, God formed humanity from the dust of the ground and breathed into that dust the breath of life. The Bible’s first portrait of us is not of a ghostly spirit floating toward heaven but of a living, breathing unity — flesh animated by divine breath. Body and spirit, dust and glory. ...read more

    Great is an overused word today, but right to describe our Great God. Awesome is even better

    Watching the Browns’ exhibition game last week, I was very critical of the announcer’s overuse, even misuse of the adjective ‘great’. Ask Cathy. Their effusive descriptions focused on one rookie, who wasn’t even chosen until late in the draft because of concerns about his ability to play ...read more
