    Christian Compassion Believes The Best About The Worst

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 12, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,711 views

    Delivered as if Ananias were telling his story about encountering Paul: The Spirit calls us to believe that others can be changed, that if we do not go to them the consequences are large, and that others need a human touch from us.

    I had always prided myself on understanding people. I had always thought I knew enough about the human mind that I could predict what a man would be like on the basis of what he had always done. After all, if a person is a thief when he is a child, you expect that he will be a cheating thief when ...read more

    Safe Zone Or Faith Zone?

     | 12,624 views

    We have the tendency to avoid trouble and difficulty. We want to play it safe. If we would move into the realm of the supernatural, we must defeat our desire to stay in the Safe Zone and move into the Faith Zone.

    SAFE ZONE OR FAITH ZONE? Acts 9:10-19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Wife:" There's trouble with the car. I think it has water in the carburetor." 2. Husband: "Water in a carburetor? That's ridiculous." 3. Wife: "I tell you the car has water in the carburetor." 4. Husband: "Honey, You don't even ...read more

    Competing According To The Rules Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 24, 2015
     | 6,676 views

    Divine rewards demand that we conduct our lives according to God's rules provided in His Word.

    I consider the initial verses of this chapter to be among the most significant verses of the book. They are, as well, perhaps the most neglected verses of the missive which Paul wrote. I confess that I am ploughing quite a narrow furrow in these expositions. Note that the Apostle appeals to ...read more

    Felix Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 11, 2022
     | 2,845 views

    Felix represents many people intrigued by the gospel but recognizes that surrendering to it means losing status, power, or control of their own lives. Mere exposure to truth does not necessarily enlighten the heart, and Felix is an excellent example of that.

    Felix Felix was Festus' predecessor. He imprisoned Paul but allowed him to speak in his defense. He hoped Paul would offer him a bribe, but he never did. Festus thought Paul was delusional, but he did not think that was cause for putting him to death or locking him up, so he let him ...read more

    A look at God's call to be concerned for the vulnerable.

    Our Starting Point: “What’s best for me?” - We usually end up with a self-centered mentality. We look out for ourselves. And that is certainly encouraged within our society.

    Two men think about life as they face the end of their journey on earth. Has life been meaningless or relevant? Do they look forward to a joyless process of degradation, a painful descent towards the valley of death, or to something more glorious beyond the horizon?
