    Are you a malcontent or contented with godliness.

    1Tim 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. Is it just me or do others seem to find that whenever you go to the refrigerator what you want ...read more

    A Christian has to grow and mature! Someone said: ”You can be in the right place in the right time with all the ingredients in the right place; yet miss it!”

    Christians...

    Contributed by Chris Layton on Jul 31, 2013
     | 5,899 views

    If you were to ask people in a crowded restaurant how many are Christians most would probably raise their hand. But when you ask what does that mean; well, you would get many different answers. So, how can we tell the true from the false?

    Title: “Christians…” Text: Acts 11:19–26 Introduction: I’ve been thinking—always a dangerous thing for a Baptist preacher, I know—but what does it really mean to be a Christian? Is it walking an aisle? Shaking a preacher’s hand? Maybe it’s when you get baptized? (Though I’ve seen some folks go ...read more

    Worth The Effort Series

     | 2,358 views

    It takes great effort to build up (edify) believers with the Word of God, both on the part of those who teach and those who learn. But it is worth it.

    Worth the Effort (Acts 20:1-12) 1, This week, I watched part of a White Sox baseball game from two weeks agon on youtube. It was nice to be able to fast forward and see the more interesting moments. Which brings on a joke. 2. Have you heard about the first baseball game in the Bible? In the ...read more

    Evangelization--Sacred Vs Secular Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 31, 2015
     | 3,381 views

    The pope encourages us to understand that non-Western cultures are suspicious of Christian evangelization because they confuse it with the spread of secularism and the culture of death.

    Thursday of the 4th Week in Course 2015 Light of the Gospel St. Mark’s Gospel is rarely verbose. He always tells the story of Jesus using an economy of words, perhaps because the Church of Rome was too poor to supply him much in the way of writing supplies, or because it was often ...read more

    Balancing Parental Authority & Childhood Well Being

    Traditionally, there are few things American cherish more than the freedom of religion as embodied by the First Amendment and their families. Normally, these ideals do not conflict all that much since these work together to allow the greatest good for the greatest number. However, as aberrant ...read more

    The experience that the women have at the tomb--their encounter with Jesus-- turns their mourning into dancing and transforms their lives forever.

    Matthew 28:1-10 “Bumping into Jesus” INTRODUCTION Have you ever had the experience of bumping into an old acquaintance who you never thought you’d ever bump into? That happened to Faye and me one time when our family went to a Twins game in Minneapolis with my ...read more

    The Call: Holiness

    Contributed by John Ong on Nov 22, 2017
     | 3,733 views

    Regardless of how dirty you’ve been in the past, God’s cleansing power cleanse you and makes you like new. Now that you know this, do not let the devil and his lies lead you away from the great plan that God has for you.

    These days it is rare for people to pursue Holiness. For them it is something unreachable. And as Christians, God’s call for us in 1 Peter 1:16 is to “be holy for I am holy” but right now what’s happening is the opposite. Morality is on a decline– we have accepted “complicated” as a normal status, ...read more

    Telos

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 9, 2018
     | 3,484 views

    Of all the sins listed in our Gospel today, the telos in that list is extremely off-course from God.

    22B People put their entire moral analysis on intention only; e.g. If my intention is good, I can do it. But actually, “telos” is the word in the Bible that orients ourselves toward God. Telos means “purpose, intent, goal.” E.g. Bulimia is acting against the telos of eating. A couple good ...read more
