    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 9, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,049 views

    The Bible gives us understanding of human life and relationships, it equips us for effectiveness, and it is the standard by which a church becomes great.

    Why do we prefer to stumble along and do a job halfway, when, with just a little effort, we could do it well? Why is it that we will take a stab at something we don’t know how to do, .we will fool with it, we will mess with it, but, if it takes some study to learn to do it right, we’re not ...read more

     | 7,076 views

    Some say that prophecy is too difficult or too controversial, However, prophecy leads us to greater worship and understanding of Jesus!

    What is Prophecy all about? If your study of prophecy does not lead you to a better understanding and worship for Jesus, then it is all wrong! The most prophetic book of the Bible tells us that Jesus is the focus point of prophecy. “Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said ...read more

     | 11,587 views

    When I begin to understand the power of faith, I begin to appreciate what the Christian life is really all about.

    Some people like to refer to themselves as a man or woman of faith. Yet, if you query them along that subject you discover they have no idea what a man or woman of faith is. Faith has become just a word we use when thinking of somebody who is religious. Their faith is rooted in their religion. ...read more
