Teaching

Contributed by Grant Adams on May 4, 2022

Charles Barkley many years ago, came out and said, "I am not a role model." The truer statement is I am not a good role model or a bad role model, but we are all role models. The same is with teaching. We are all teachers. Some are good and some not so good.

Our Troublesome Tongues

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024

As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

Danger: Disguised, Deadly Deceivers! - Matthew 7:15-20 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 18, 2024

It is God’s design that we follow leaders. But the false ones deceive and lead away from the narrow road to hell. The way to see past the sheep’s clothing to the actual fruit is by watching for the things that come from the heart and that are not a part of the act.

Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears ...read more
