    While we celebrate Christmas, with nativity scenes and cute greeting cards, let’s remember this was a real baby; a real Man.

     | 10,270 views

    Every one of us has an appointment with God in which He will assess the passion of your life based on everything we’ve done. For some, that day is remarkably near. And since none of us here knows that day of crisis, all of us should be living as though t

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 12, 2006
    based on 12 ratings
     | 1,896 views

    This message deals with the likely possibility of people choosing to believe both the Bible and The Da Vinci Code. It addresses the issues of absolute truth and syncretism.

     | 2,821 views

    1. The Bible teaches us that sex is a gift of God. 2. The Bible teaches us that sex is sacred. 3. The Bible presents boundaries for the use of sex.

    With the advent of television’s Sex and the City, and a host of shows like it, it should be apparent that our nation is in a moral free fall. The whole idea of who we are and how we should live has become so distorted that it has corrupted our vision of what God created us to be. Rather than ...read more
