    Handling Money

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 7, 2014
     | 5,660 views

    The first commandment of the world is “self-preservation”. A shady business deal is winked at, questionable practices tolerated, and a clever crook is highly praised by the world. The law is on the side of the crook and the criminal many times.

    12-20-04 Title: Handling Money Text: “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Luke 16:13) Bible Reading: Luke ...read more

In every case, the message was similar: “This product is defective or dangerous and could cause serious injury or even death. Return it to us and we ...read more

    The grace of God is an often misunderstood subject in churches today. Are we saved by grace or works? How does God's grace save the believer?

    Defining God's Grace What are we talking about when we talk about the grace of God? Grace is a word that has much used, much misused, and much abused word in Christian Theology.

     | 5,417 views

    There have never been words spoken more powerfully than in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth.

    The spoken word can be extremely powerful. When humans speak, it can literally mean life or death.

     | 4,314 views

    There are many things going on right now that are not "good." In fact, evil seems to be winning. Yet God has a knack for making things work out for good instead of evil.

    28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

    Thank You For Serving!

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022
     | 5,907 views

    Why is serving very important and what should be our motivation? The answers lie in that very powerful scene in which Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. Jesus mandated us to live by (symbolically) washing one another’s feet, (literally) serving one another.

    Again I want to remind you that God has just delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. They could not deliver themselves, but God, by His marvelous grace delivered them.

    Now, as a new nation was beginning to be established, God gave these laws to them so they would know how to govern themselves. Why? Because a country cannot exist without regulations and laws.
