    The Bible tells us that the Lamb, Jesus Christ, was SLAIN before the FOUNDATION of the world. Why? Please read your own Bible in Revelations 13:8. Jesus Christ was SLAIN even before the creation of the world. In other words, God expected that HUMANITY wil

    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.

    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
