    Becoming A Catalyst For Changed Lives (Part 3) Series

    Contributed by Dan Proctor on Feb 8, 2016
     | 4,251 views

    Many times Christ’s disregard for tradition infuriated the Pharisees. But He wasn’t about pleasing them or keeping their rules; He desired to give the Father praise and uphold His standard of righteousness. Jesus never let men’s traditions hinder His min

    When you feel defeated, trust Christ to use your feeble efforts and faltering speech to make an eternal difference in people’s lives.

    A marathon, for most runners, seems long, but it is always 26.2 miles. Always. Except for the Lakeshore Marathon held in Chicago on Memorial Day weekend 20 years ago (2005). That day the 529 runners who finished actually ran 27.2 miles, one mile more than they were supposed to. Only, nobody told ...read more

    Rock solid faith is needed for the dark days we live in and I believe that rock solid faith helps to bring light to anyone’s life – no matter what! Please don’t think of strong faith as a nicety for life, but rather a necessity for life!

    Matthew 17:20 “If you have faith…nothing will be impossible for you.” VIDEO Warren Wiersbe said, “It’s not the fact of life that determines hope, but the faith of life.” Rock solid faith is needed for the dark days we live in and I believe that rock solid faith helps to bring light to anyone’s ...read more

    Is forgiveness simply Gods job, his duty, his obligation. Can we do what we want and live as we please and rightfully expect God to forgive us – because that’s what he is supposed to do. Or is there more to it than that.

    I love what Spurgeon writes about this final Chapter in Hosea – He says, ‘Throughout the book of Hosea there has been thunder: sometimes a low rumbling, as of a distant tempest, sometimes peal on peal, as of a storm immediately overhead. And now the tempest has gathered all its force. Here it ...read more

    Romans teaches us that we are "justified by faith" rather than by works. But shouldn’t holy people do holy things? And don’t good deeds please God? So, why wouldn’t good works justify us before God?

    A sermonette (I will use this at rest home services) about a bloke who had it so right with God it really make things quite messy in his relationships with his fellow man. Hey I'm just pleased I'm not like him. ;)

    Jesus had a subtle and sometimes not so subtle way of getting through to people. I like how he delivers a message to a group of people who thought they had it bang on right with God, to a group of people who were confident that they had it right with God. Jesus tells them a story that actually cuts ...read more

    "for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen!" Whoa! We know this is true but why is it in some Bibles and not others? Are there some Bibles that are better than others? Were errors made? Should we fight over them? Lord please help us!

    Over the last five weeks we have been taking a look at The Lord’s Prayer and today we come to the end of verse 13 which says … Matthew 6:13 “For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” That is a grand statement! I love getting to that part of the ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 30,285 views

    Living a successful Christian life isn't complicated nor does living a life that pleases God does not have to be complex. Christ simplified or summarized what it takes into two steps which if we follow will lead us to living a successful Christian life.

    Two Steps to a Successful Christian Life Mark 12:28-34 Living a successful Christian life isn't complicated. I am not saying that it is easy but it doesn't have to be convoluted with a long list of do's and don'ts.
