    Walking As Children Of The Light

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on May 26, 2008
    based on 38 ratings
     | 8,576 views

    Three errors today’s Christians make: 1. Seeing salvation merely as a legal transaction. 2. Believing that being right is more important than treating other people right. 3. Living out of fear rather than faith.

    Walking as Children of the Light Mark 10:32-37 In the Scripture today we have one example of many where the disciples simply do not “get it.” Jesus has just expressed what is facing him, and is more vulnerable than at any other time of his life. But the disciples can only think of themselves. ...read more

    This was the first successful transfer of charismatic authority to a large group since the time of Moses; it signifies that a new era has come!

    “He sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.” In pairs, for mutual support and to provide judicial testimony to what they see. Ecclesiastes 4:9 says, two are better than one,… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” He sent them; the verb used is ...read more

    The Bible gives us clear directions to happiness.

    Psalm 1 The Road To Happiness Often times our religion has terminology that is specific to our life experiences. We often speak of our faith in words that try to describe a heavenly realm in earthly terms. Psalm 1 is chock full of metaphorical language to help us better understand God’s plans ...read more

     | 843 views

    “Now raise your hands if you have only one or two enemies.” And even fewer people raised their hands. “See,” says the priest, “most of us feel like we have enemies.”

    A priest is giving a homily like I am right now on “What loving your enemies and being ‘perfect’ mean.” “Now,” says the priest, “I’ll bet that many of us feel as if we have enemies in our lives. So, raise your hands if you have a few enemies.” And several people raise their hands.” “Now raise ...read more

    “What if Jesus made a whip out of cords, knotted them with the Ten Commandments. What would he clear out of you?

    There were two kids looking at the Ten Commandments at Sunday school and one of them says, “Seems like there’s a lot more things my parents won’t let me do than these.” Let’s clean up some misunderstandings of some of the specific commandments-- 1.As part of the First Commandment: “You shall ...read more

    Do I Really Have A Choice?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 61 ratings
     | 7,385 views

    When we are offered great choices, although we think we have no real freedom, we can choose to live emotionally, we can choose to give and affirm life for the most vulnerable in our society, and we can always choose to receive God’s gift of eternal life.

    “Do I really have a choice?” That question was posed the other day by one of our teenagers. She was talking about whether she had to go to school. She felt cornered. She felt boxed in. She was speaking for a great many of us. We feel as though we really do not have any choice about many ...read more

    A message focusing on a few of the realities we tend to overlook in our quest for cultural relevance and seeker sensitivity.

    Dakota Community Church January 28, 2007 Reality Ever After We sometimes portray the Christian faith like a fairy tale from childhood, all the action takes place before we “get saved” and then live happily ever after.
