The Christian And Sin

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2014

So what is to be the Christian's relationship to sin? Strictly speaking, he should not have such a relationship!

Servant Leadership (The World’s On Fire) - Mark 10:41-45 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 28, 2024

In 2020, our President was impeached, economy shut down, 40 million people lost their jobs, widespread corruption at the highest levels of our government are being exposed, and there are riots, beatings, and murders across the country. Jesus shows us that all these rise out of the same root cause.

Mark 10:41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you.
