     | 111 views

    what is the true scope of riches? Are riches really the answer to everything?

    In Ecclesiastes 10:19, the preacher states that “a feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.” Some other versions translate this last phrase as “but money is the answer for everything,” “and money gives everything,” or “and money answers everything.” ...read more

    Part 2 in a 4 part Christmas series

    (Read text) I could be wrong, but I think that the most commonly misused and misapplied word in the language of man, is ‘love’. If my supposition is accurate, then surely the second most misused and misapplied word is, ‘peace’. Mankind has never known peace. Peace is not the absence of war, ...read more

    By becoming a man: 1. Jesus identified with humanity. 2. Jesus dignified humanity. 3. Jesus delivered humanity.

    We have a lot of ideas of what the perfect man should be. If you buy a copy of Alpha Male you will see that some people think it is the man who obtains the perfect body by spending countless hours in the gym getting ripped. In the corporate world the perfect man might be someone like Robert ...read more

     | 5,201 views

    The following is a list of twenty five things that often crowd out our love for the Father. Since Jesus told us to watch and pray that we enter not in to temptation. It is a good idea to know what competes for our greatest passion.

    How to Love the Father More than the World Marks of Worldliness (I John 2:15-18) What are the various ways that people subtly love the world more than we show love for our heavenly Father? Perhaps it could be summarized in the word preoccupation. Illustration: CHARLOTTE, N.C. - An 86-year-old ...read more
