    Obedience. Most of the time it is not fun. But I am here to tell you there is a joy in obedience we can have. This joy compels me to obey God all the time, not just when it is convenient, or when it feels good or doesn’t cost me anything. There is joy in

    It’s the journey, not just the destination, that’s important. Let your trials be a blessing to you.

    The Four Faces Of Obedience

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 17, 2023
     | 5,130 views

    Christianity is not just a set of beliefs. James said the demons believe and tremble, but their belief doesn't save them, because they don't OBEY God. Our faith should cause us to walk, stand, live, and obey.

    THE FOUR FACES OF OBEDIENCE Gen. 22:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There are times when even doing what is right seems like it will backfire on you. Old habits are hard to break. 2.

     | 6,658 views

    Sometimes we feel that life is spinning out of control. In order to receive a spiritual breakthrough we might have to make a sacrifice, and a sacrifice must cost us something; for we can’t cheat the Lord and expect Him to bless us for it.

    Discover how God measures our obedience, and discover what a compliment He gives to us.

    First John was written to counter the lies that crept into the church by 90 AD. These lies, we saw, are still present and so the responses John wrote almost 2000 years ago are quite applicable to us today. The first lie John dealt with is the lie that a right and healthy relationship with God ...read more

    Many times we do God’s will so long as we see the sense of it and agree with it, yet we feel free to change it around a little to suit our lives ignoring His commands.

    A Poll years ago said people are impressively religious on the surface, and the poll went on to reveal that 3 out of 4 people surveyed “do not connect religion with their judgements of right and wrong. Obedience to God is a problem, but it’s not new to our age People have always ...read more
