The Fear Of The Lord And The Love Of The Lord

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 23, 2018

The Lord is to be feared, especially by those who are in rebellion against Him. However, the fear of the Lord seems to be absent from many churches. Is that spiritually healthy?

Please open your Bibles to Mark 4:35-41 which we will read in a few minutes. This past week I saw a video of a comedienne ridiculing a devout, born again Christian and she was saying, “I am Christian, I love Jesus, but he thinks Jesus tells him to say things.” So, setting her slander aside, I was ...read more

Love Without Limits

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 19, 2017

Jesus challenges the common wisdom of his day, stating God doesn't want us to "love our neighbor and hate our enemy" but to love everyone, including our enemies. This is impossible without the love of God flowing through us.

Matthew 5:43-48 Love without Limits Did you know your body is not designed to carry anger for very long? Now don’t get me wrong: anger is a helpful emotion. It tells you something is terribly wrong. But God designed your body to resolve anger as quickly as possible and to move on. Resentment and ...read more

Dealing With Sin

Contributed by Robert Sickler on Mar 15, 2017

Whether ignorant or evil, they are working for Satan who spread the lie that all ours sins, past-present-future, have already been forgiven; thus, we do not have to worry about sinning.

Dealing With Sin Illustration It is remarkable what people will do in response to hearing what they want to hear, or in response to getting their own way. For example: there is a TV show called ‘Big Bang Theory’ and in this show there is a wimpy nerd, named Leonard, who will say and do ...read more

Praying In Great Distress

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 9, 2017

When Jesus was preparing for the greatest ordeal any human would ever face--the one who had never sinned to be cut off from his Heavenly Father--he went to God in great desperation. We can and should do the same when we face the inevitable trials of life.

Matthew 26:36-46 Praying in Great Distress Jesus is our example in all things, and today he shows us how to take our anxious thoughts to God. I heard about a guy who was anxious in his driving. He was cutting off people, weaving in and out of traffic. Then he got inpatient at a yellow light, as ...read more
