    It is our duty as Christians to keep our brothers and sisters in Christ accountable to God.

    In the church there are a lot of Rip Van Winkle Christians--who go to sleep not long after they made the decision to follow Christ.

    Ephesians 5:8-14 INTRODUCTION: How many have heard the statement, “They are as different as day and night.”? Paul is using this same kind of contrast between darkness and light when he is speaking of the old life without Christ as compared to the new life in Christ. In this scripture Paul is ...read more

    Making Sacrifices

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,046 views

    Be willing to make sacrifices for God and be blessed. When we give of ourselves, God’s will can be fulfilled. Ask, what does God expects from us today?

    We tend to position ourselves on the receiving end, and ask God for His blessings. • Surely He loves us and we know He will bless us and help us through life. • We need also to see ourselves on the ‘giving’ end, and offer to God what He expects from us. It’s good to get the right perspective. • ...read more

    The Christian’s speech should be a reflection of the Holy Spirit’s working, bringing value to those around us.

    WORTHWHILE CONVERSATION When I was in my twenties, I couldn’t hold on to money. If I had a dollar, I’d spend it.

    37th in a series from Ephesians. The "conventional wisdom" is that this passage deals with our individual anger. But Paul seems to have something else in mind here.

    This week I ran into what was billed as a “Conventional Wisdom IQ Test”. The idea is to see how many of the sayings of conventional wisdom that one can complete. The original test had 20 questions, but for time’s sake let’s see how well we can do on just 10 of them: 1. If it’s not broken.... ...read more
