     | 8,949 views

    Is it is always right to give to those who ask without asking questions? Is there ever a time when it is right to pass by on the other side? Do we have the courage to be honest with ourselves when our beliefs and practise are in conflict with each other

    INTRO. Have you ever just seen someone that was a good man or woman, but knew they had a need that only God could meet.

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 17, 2009
    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,392 views

    If we please God then we must do that which pleases Him. We just cannot hold onto anything of our choosing and say, “this is to please God” OR “such & such thing pleases God.” We’ll check out Enoch’s testimony to see how he pleased God.

    Opening illustration: While I was doing the Rapture series a number of years ago, one evening on not finding me in the house, my wife thought I was raptured. She had a panic attack … Let read Hebrews 11: 5 – 6 and see what was the second testimony of Enoch that raptured him. Introduction: Implied ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 22,458 views

    Rather than show sensitivity to Job’s affliction, his friends critique him...and were dead wrong. Let’s be careful when we appraise people. And let’s be cordial when we disagree.

    I recall a fight I had in seminary. I was arguing with another student over some theological matter, when he got mad and slugged me.

    From the beginning of creation man was placed under God’s authority and given responsibility. That responsibility was to be a caretaker of the resources God had provided. Learn where the seeds of stewardship are planted.
