     | 9,234 views

    Rahab teaches us in this passage that your past doesn’t determine your future but your choices do. And at the same time she also teaches us there’s no excuse for sin. No one can excuse themselves by saying, “I’m a product of my parents, the result of a wa

    Every Christian is going to run into a Jericho and he can either collapse under the pressure or he can charge strait ahead and I believe, if we do what God wants us to do then we’ll experience the kind of life He wants us to experience.

    When Love Turns To Lust

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 26, 2009
     | 8,455 views

    A young man confusing lust for love unleashes havoc on the Kingdom of David. His actions serve to caution us not to confuse lust for love.

    *2 Samuel 13:1-19* *When Love Turns to Lust* “Absalom, David’s son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar. And after a time Amnon, David’s son, loved her. And Amnon was so tormented that he made himself ill because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible to ...read more

    In these verses we see a group of people who have come out from the spiritual honeymoon period. And there are three things that Jesus says to these church members at Ephesus that I believe He wants to say to us.

    You know, for every sort of relationship there is a honeymoon period, a time when everything is lovey-dovey and wonderful. All sorts of differences are overlooked during this time. All words are spoken kindly. Every consideration is given to the other party. It’s just a nice and peachy time. ...read more
