    Paul gives us reasons for obey God . . . even when no one else may be looking.

    Paul exhorts the Philippians to obey God, even when he wasn’t around. Like parents who hope their kids will behave even when mom or dad aren’t around to check on them, Paul wanted the Philippians to obey, motivated by higher things than just the possibility of being rewarded by Paul or ...read more

    The massage is not about the "way to heaven" but our "walk". Is the story of the widow's mite about giving? Or about the failure of the teaches of the law to care for God's people... this can not be separated from Isaiah 5

    based on 18 ratings
     | 2,552 views

    The terrorist attack in Bali came a week before I was to preach on the subject of murder, and a National Day of Mourning was declared for that Sunday. God does work in mysterious ways...

    Over the last few weeks God has been showing me how his timing is always perfect. I became more convinced of this when I realised what sermon I had planned to preach today. In view of the events of the last week today’s passage seems to be the most appropriate in the Bible. The bombing in Bali ...read more

    AGAPE LOVE AND GODLY RELATIONSHIPS “Christian love has God for its primary object and expresses itself first of all in explicit obedience to His commandments.
