    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,734 views

    Only in and through Jesus can we be saved, and our sins be forgiven. There is power and authority in the name of Jesus, and only if we comprehend this in its fullest can we actualize it in our lives.

The LORD will make sure that anyone who carelessly uses his name will be punished.” (GW) We have been studying in details as to how the moral laws of God as given in the Old Testament, are still applicable to ...read more

     | 18,525 views

    The world is in desperate need of love, agape love: willful, purposeful, decisional, sacrificial love. In today's passage, Jesus points us to the source of that love, urges us to choose it as an act of obedience, and sometimes to love until it hurts.

    John 15:9-17  What the World Needs Now In 1965 Burt Bacharach wrote a song he didn’t believe in. He and Hal David offered it to performer Dionne Warwick, who turned it down.

    Why was David a man after God's own heart... but Saul wasn't? And what can that tell me about how I can be a man after God's own heart?

For example: If we want to have an intimate and personal talk with someone, we say that we want to have a “heart-to-heart”. If we’ve had a really good day, we might say that we are feeling “Lighthearted.” If we know ...read more
