Marks Of A True Disciple

Contributed by Scott Sparks on Mar 2, 2005

Jesus gave us the example of true discipleship - to forsake all, to follow, & to Love one another. Our world tends to work to dilute the real message. However, if we can take hold of the basic truths, we can remain faithful to Jesus’ instructions.

There is alot of discussion, today, about Man’s proper relationship to the environment. This is a study of some truths found in God’s Word that might help us formulate a godly viewpoint on Man’s relationship to Nature.

Man and Nature Since the 1960s, there has been a lot of controversy as to Man’s relationship to the environment and nature.

To Desire A Better Country

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 23, 2008

Funeral service for Anne Tlholakae, diplomat of the Embassy of South Africa. All of us desire a better country; that journey begins with faith. As Biblical wanderers sought that better country but died in a foreign land, so Anne sought and found Christ

The desire for a better country goes deep in the human heart. The desire for something more, something finer, than what our ancestors left us is an aspiration that transcends all boundaries.

No Resolutions Just Commitments

Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 7, 2009

Jesus calls us to make cross-carrying commitments. These are not resolutions that can be broken and forgotten in a matter of days. When a person picks up a cross, it’s a one-way trip. No one expects to come back.

I HATE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS For nearly a decade, I said, “Next January, I will start eating right and exercising.” You can tell what happened with my resolutions. NOTHING. I did not start eating healthy foods. I did not start exercising, but that all changed last January 14th. I had a ...read more
