    We Don't Do Distractions

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Feb 24, 2025
     | 1,621 views

    As children of God, we are called to live out our faith continually, day by day, in a world that constantly pulls us in different directions and is always striving for our attention. At times we all live as if we have an unlimited time to accomplish our God given work.

    We Don’t Do Distractions By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - John 3:19 says, “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil”.

    Finding The Love Of Your Life Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 644 views

    Life is about what you love. Jesus said that we should love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. The Book of Titus challenges us to discover, "Who or what is really the love of your life."

    Life is about what you love. In the last 300 years the way people see life and the definition of a “successful life” has changed. It has moved from morality to money; from God to goals, from Christ to culture. This is not new; this same setting was the type of culture Paul was addressing in the ...read more

    How do we as Christians respond to the push to accept the Gay Lifestyle as an equal alternative lifestyle? With wisdom, intelligence, compassion, and clarity, that’s how. First, let’s lay a Biblical foundation as to how a society becomes so messed up.

    Abandoned to Depravity (Romans 1:24-32) 1. In Indianapolis, the House is deadlocked because the parties cannot agree on passing an amendment that defines marriage as a union only between a man and a woman. 2.

    In friendly banter, I will say to guys that give me a friendly push, "Hey, I belong to God! I am annointed! Don’t touch the Lord’s annointed! Back off!" What about you? Do you belong to God?

    Exodus 13 - Set Apart for Him! Exodus 13 interests me as it speaks about the firstborn sons of Israel. I am a firstborn son. If I had been in Egypt in the previous chapter I too would have perished unless I took the blood of the lamb and put it on the doorposts and lintels of my house. And in this ...read more

    It was a story neatly tucked between the jostling, pushing crowd meeting JESUS at the seaside and the urgency of Jairus’pleadings... and then,that infamous word;"WHO TOUCHED ME?" May our longing and need for GOD let not just pass us by,today!

    The scene was so poignant... what with the approach of a very influential man in the person of Jairus, and the emergency situation he was in... Verse 24 said that our LORD went with him... The characters in this passage suggests different attitudes of God’s people. Those who just want to ...read more

    Marriage is not a one wheel drive vehicle on a one way street. It takes two to begin a marriage relationship. Trying to take control or pursuing to change or alter one another will only push each other apart. Most of the time the problem is in us and we a

    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,684 views

    God wants to give us life beyond this life, for God is love and live is never diminished. It is not something we attain by knowledge, but by trust. Two sweatshirts are pulled on and off to illustrate two ways of thinking about life beyond this life.

    God is love. So the Bible says, and that is, in a sense, all we need to know. God is love; and just as when you love someone you do not abandon them, so also the love of God, richer far than tongue or pen can ever tell, reaches to the highest height and to the lowest hell, and keeps on going ...read more

    A Christian man got very involved in collegiate football. He had one team in particular that he pulled for each week. When they won, he had a wonderful week-end, but if they lost he had a terrible week-end.

    His joy and peace within his heart each week was determined by the football team that he supported. He was allowing a couple dozen college boys that he did not know personally decide on what kind of week end he was going to have. The fact is, many folks allow THINGS and PEOPLE to decide what kind ...read more
