    Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Jun 4, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,145 views

    Don't let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people. The Bible gives us a good indication about the effects of associating with what is called “bad people”. Some kind of Osmosis happens.

    1 Corinthians 15:33 (God’s Word Translation) Don't let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people. (New Living Translation) Don't be fooled by those who say such things, for "bad company corrupts good character.” (International Standard Version) Stop being ...read more

    The Disciples would tend to focus on things that did not have much to do with why Jesus "sent" them out. How can we relate to this today, are we going off track? What is the focus of the church supposed to be?

    In the book of John Jesus says this phrase, “I have come that you may have life, and more abundantly.” The word abundant in Greek is “per-ee” and accurately translates to exceed, the mind goes to wander and ask, “to exceed what about life?” money? Happiness? No, ...read more

    Many of us have special uniforms (church clothes) that we don only on Sunday (church day), so we can go and attend worship (church service), giving God our tithes (church money). We have organized God out of life...

    That’s right – a Pastor is encouraging you to stop going to church; I really mean it! STOP! We’ve all become accustomed to simply going to church – as if church is a place. It’s not!

    In a culture which values its elderly less and less, God calls us as the church to treat the elderly like family and like a fortune.

    When I was a teenager, I thought people in their 50’s were really old. Now, that I’ve recently celebrated my 52nd birthday, I’m not so sure, especially since I’m around so many people here who are still going strong in their 70’s and 80’s. They don’t seem ...read more

    It is amazing how we can commend ourselves for this or that, but perhaps God has a different perspective about us. This is what the Church thought versus what God knew to be true.

    Alive but Dead Rev. 3:1-6 In our study of the church God has said: • Remember your first love • Persecution is only for a little season • The World is where Satan sits • Watch out for the doctrine of Jezebel Point: It is not what we think about the church that counts, but it ...read more
