    Mixing Politics And Religion

    Contributed by Harold Orndorff on Jul 11, 2004
    based on 39 ratings
     | 6,709 views

    Election sermons were common, even expected, in early America. This is a 21st century election sermon. Here we explore, not party politics, but principles of politics from the word of God.

    Mixing Politics and Religion Politics is the process by which we establish government. The word "politics" is derived from two words. The first, "poly", is a Latin word meaning many. The second, "tics", describes blood-sucking creatures. I’m kidding, of course, but - In my many years of ...read more

     | 7,822 views

    What happens when something goes wrong - does it mean you are bad? What happens when you think you’ve heard God and things don’t work out - does it mean you didn’t hear right? Paul answers both questions in this 1st chapter.

    For more Bible Studies go to: www.LivingWatersWeb.com Most Christians fall under two common misconceptions. The first is that when bad things happen, it means something has gone wrong or that I’ve done something wrong. The second is that when I’m hearing the voice of God to direct me, things will ...read more

    Abraham is shown to be a spiritual Pilgrim on his journey to the City of God, as seen in his Call to a New Life, his Response by Faith, his Courageous Commitment, his Persistence in Difficulty and in Reaching his Goal.

    Istanbul, formerly the historic Constantinople, was an early centre of Christianity. One of the tourist attractions is the huge building called the Aghia Sophia. The guide summarised its history as a church, then a mosque and now a tourist attraction, like this: 800 years dedicated to Christ; ...read more

    Second in a series on popular illusions; and for Independence Day. Life will not cease to be a struggle if justice is not fully realized, feelings are not fully expressed, and wrong decisions are not fully reversed.

    What kind of a retirement party was this? He had worked so long, he had struggled with so many things, and now, here, at the end, it seemed there was still unfinished business. His worries were not behind him, nor were all the issues settled. And why not? Had he no right to expect that now life ...read more

    A sermon on what faithfulness is and how it is displayed in the Christian life.

    July 25, 2004 Galatians 5:22 The fruit of the Spirit is faithfulness. In Psalm 12:1-2, David prayed, Help, LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.

    We fall prey to the distorions of false prophets when: 1. We do not take evil seriously. 2. We do not take truth seriously. 3. We do not take doctrine seriously.

    The Wichita Eagle newspaper recently ran an interesting story. There was a pond in the middle of a housing development that was kept stocked with fish. Evidently, a child had thrown a toy basketball and it rolled into the pond. One of the residents saw the ball bouncing around in a strange ...read more

    The baby Christ overturned any expectations the world could have about how God works in His creation.

    It’s great to be here with you tonight. Christmas Eve has always been one of my favorite nights of the year … and all the more as it’s become a night in which I get to share it with the “extended family” that come and gather together in this service.

    The Apostle’s Creed - suffered under Pontius Pilate

    There’s no doubt that Mel Gibson’s film, "The Passion of the Christ" has been widely criticised in the media and elsewhere. But what’s surprising is the issue that most of the criticism has been about. It isn’t that it’s anti-Semitic, although that was the accusation before it was ...read more

    – Life is not fair. God is. – Philip Yancey (Disappointment With God)

    I like the comment that I recently read which said, “If you tell a man that there are 568,678,934,341 stars in the universe, he’ll believe you. But if a sign says, “Fresh Paint,” he has to make a personal investigation.” Certain things in life create questions that move us to “personal ...read more
