Get A Grip!

Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Aug 15, 2002

A false view of God leads to a false way of living. We need to get a grip on a genuine view of God.

August 18, 2002 There are so many false religions in the world. By far, the reason for such a phenomenon is the human problem of ignoring God’s owner’s manual -- The Bible. Without the Bible we don’t know how God views us, and we don’t know truth about how we are to view God. It is important to ...read more

Hitting The Reset Button Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 6, 2014

God designed for humans to think, feel, speak, and act in certain ways. As a race we have walked away from that and messed up the universe. God, through Jesus, has hit the reset button on our lives, giving us hope for a better life.

I was recently working with something on a website and every time I made a change it messed everything up. I was only digging myself deeper. Then I saw this little button that said “Reset to Default Settings.” I thought I’d give it a try and voila, it worked. In a way, Ephesians ...read more
