    God's Positioning System Doesn't Need An Upgrade #1

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 3, 2019
     | 2,433 views

    A GPS is a device to help you find your way when you're lost. Wouldn't be great if there was one for your faith? The good news is there is.

    Every phone now comes with one. However, just a few years ago, people had to purchase one. How many people still own one? I have to tell you I resisted purchasing one for some time. In fact, truth be told, the family received theirs by cashing in some credit card reward points. I resisted because ...read more

    It's Hard Out Here For A P.i.m.p (Person In My Position)

    Contributed by Paul L Brantley on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 24,236 views

    It interesting that no matter how you love God and how much you remember what he done for you, you still find yourself struggling. Struggling with issues of life, struggling with this thing called our flesh. Yes we love God, but we still struggle.

    It's Hard Out Here For A P.I.M.P. Romans 7:14-24 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. ...read more

     | 2,616 views

    This is the first of a series of messages centering on the sermon that the Apostle Paul gave before the groups of philosophers in Athens, and how it is a perfect model for Biblical apologetics and evangelism.

    People today tend to sidestep, ignore, deter, apologize for and question the concept of reality in a world which gladly embraces the concept that reality, truth, and fact are not absolute but just a matter of opinion, experience, or personal interpretation. We have become terrified of the ...read more

    In order to receive the promises of God, we must be in the correct position to not only see the promises as blessings, but to receive them for the benefit of those we disciple.

    All the promises of God (in Jesus) are yes and (in Jesus), are amen. What God is about to do for you, He's already approved. This season is not for you to continue praying and asking God about the same things...His answer is already, "yes." Lord, can I...yes. Lord, is it possible...yes. Lord, ...read more

    For a Christian to live "ln Christ" is the central doctrine of the New Testament. Except for limited portions that focus on the start of the Christian life by being born again, most of the New Testament is addressed to and can only be understood by Christians living "ln Christ".
