     | 207 views

    Jesus opens His Kingdom manifesto not with rules but with congratulations. He blesses the weak, the weeping, and the overlooked. These “blessings” are grace-filled announcements that reorient how we see God, ourselves, and the world.

    The Tower of Babel is a life parable telling of the dangers of the Spirit of the Age - Poverty of Spirituality and Pride of Life - and the chaos it brings which only Christ’s redemption can right.

    The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of breakdown of fellowship, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings’ failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements and determined to be the source of their own security. That was the root ...read more

    A classic sermon by Adrian Rogers that suggests you can tell a lot about a man’s character by his reaction to money, whether it be in plenty or whether it be in poverty.

    God's Call To The Poor Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,183 views

    Poor Christians are special people to God. He saves each of us on the basis of the work of Christ on the cross & not because of anything that we are or have. But the poor are more receptive to the gospel message therefore they seem favored by God.

    JAMES 2:5-7 GOD’S CALL TO THE POOR [1 Corinthians 1:26-27] Preferential treatment of the rich is wrong. James makes his case that biased judgment is wrong through four rhetorical questions he will ask, expecting an affirmative answer. Those who have entered into a faith relationship with Jesus ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,697 views

    Various reasons for the recent rioting have been offered; such as, multiculturalism, poverty, unemployment; but the Bible predicts that the spirit of lawlessness will undoubtedly increase as the closing stages of this dispensation draws near.

    State Police Commissioner Ken Moroney said this past week that the recent riots had destroyed the festive season for the residents of Sydney, Australia’s largest city. The disturbances were described as some of the worst outbreaks in their history. Fierce gangs numbering up to 5000 young white men ...read more

    Wealth leads us to illusions wherein we lose sight of God; poverty leads us to spiritual disease. Pray for enough to satisfy real needs and to be able to give for others.

    You don’t have to raise your hands on this one. But I do wonder how many of you spent some time this week fantasizing about that Powerball lottery. What would you have done with $250,000,000?

    “They all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on”. (Mark 12:44)

    Generosity is one of the hallmarks of the Christian life and this is not surprising as it belongs to the attributes of God. Generosity is love in action “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son”. You cannot love and not be generous. You can be generous without loving but you cannot ...read more

    The other, more important meaning, is that there will be a coming reversal of circumstances for those who are unfortunate, the marginalized, the abused, those who live in poverty, so these beatitudes are not just virtues to attain in this life.

    Dear Abby, the popular advice column in the newspaper still published today with authorship changes, once received a letter that describes the "if only" attitude: "It was Spring, But it was Fall I wanted, the colorful leaves and the cool dry air. It was Fall, but it was Winter I ...read more

    Our faith gives life a new basis, a new foundation on which we can stand, one that relativizes the habitual foundation of people’s security, the reliability of material income.

    Monday of 3rd Week in Course Spe Salvi We may suppose that little David could have lived his whole life out under the stars, playing his stringed instrument to his flock, chucking rocks at an occasional predator and enduring the taunts of his multiple older siblings.
