Overcoming Greed Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jul 25, 2013

Every Biblical character is a unique personality and has been written for us to learn something. We will be warned of Gehazi's downward pull due to the sin of GREED. We will learn lessons from the life of Elisha on how he maintained his INTEGRITY.

The dictionary defines GREED as the desire to possess wealth, goods or objects with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort. That means, a person who is greedy will covet something even if he does not really need it. He will hide it for some ...read more

The Way, The Truth, The Life

Contributed by Dr. David Wesner on May 13, 2015

The Christian way of life can only be fulfilled through the power of the Holy Spirit. When a person walks in "the way and the truth," life is produced. A life in Christ is a transformed life. We change what we were for who He is.

Why Should We Witness?

Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Mar 9, 2014

"Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person," (Col. 4:5-6).
