  • Citizens Of Heaven

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 28, 2015
     | 6,602 views

    As we imitate Paul’s behaviour, and as we learn from the faith and life of our Christian brothers and sisters, the result is a community of people who resemble Christ. Jesus showed us what it’s like to be fully human and to be right with God.

    We are not citizens of the world. Is that a surprise? Not if you’re a Christian. Paul says in Philippians 3:15-21 that we do not belong to the environment in which we live. We live elsewhere. Our citizenship is in heaven. We need to know which realm we are citizens of, because the answer ...read more

     | 11,358 views

    God calls us to learn to manage our emotions rather than having them manage us.

    (READ TEXT) In Paul’s day, folks thought with their hearts & felt with their gut. This is where we get terms like “gut feeling.” So when he says “their god is their stomach,” he’s says the problem is being led by their emotions. “In the end they will be ...read more

     | 8,349 views

    Paul gives clear instruction to teach us how to be free from worry and wrapped in the blanket of God's peace. If we want wholeness or victory and advance in our spiritual life it begins and is governed by our thought life.

    Intro: David Jeremiah gave a list of how not to have joy and peace. In his book on joy he said I guarantee that if you follow these guidelines you will have unhappiness. 1) Make little things bother you: don’t just let them, make them. 2) Lose your perspective of things, and keep it ...read more
