    Leaving The Boat To Get Aboard

    Contributed by Joshua Bowers on Dec 18, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,376 views

    So often we either sit like a knot on a log and refuse to seek God’s purpose for our lives or we do seek God’s purpose and realize just how difficult it can be to fulfill it.

    Leaving the boat to get on board. A. John the Baptist had just been beheaded by King Herod. Because of the rat race that was going on Jesus got his disciples in a boat and headed away for a little R and R. The crowds noticed Jesus and his disciples heading away from town, across the lake, so ...read more

    The Other Cup Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 28, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,313 views

    Which cup have you chosen to drink from? The love of God, poured out in Jesus Christ, is complete, unlimited and unmixed; the wrath of God is simply what’s left over when his love is refused.

    One of the things that still divides our denomination is the matter of “inclusive language.” It’s a difference that lines up pretty much the same way as all the other hot-button issues, with theological liberals on one side and theological conservatives on the other. But there ...read more

     | 6,809 views

    When we cling to and refuse to forsake sin, habits, and less than admirable behavior, we are asking Jesus to leave us. Jesus wants to "cast out" those behaviors in our life if we'll let him.

    If you are familiar with “The Andy Griffith” show, you may remember the loveable character named Otis. He was well known around town as being “the town drunk.” He was harmless and seemed to be more of a town mascot. However, this was not the case in our story in Luke. ...read more

    These three young men stood up for God, and so were used in amazing ways to impact the greatest king who ever lived. They refused to do what was convenient and safe and rather entrusted themselves to God in the face of death.

    The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

    I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more

    We who follow Christ are responsible to present the message of grace at every opportunity. Many will dismiss our message as foolish talk. We must honestly present the truth to such people, refusing to give up our stand for the truth.

    “As [Paul] was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, ‘Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.’ But Paul said, ‘I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words.

     | 2,209 views

    Do not keep wisdom to yourself. If God can retrieve wisdom from the wise, he can also refuse to diffuse it to others. When you receive the secrets of God, they must be communicated to others. Do not keep them to yourself.

    DON’T LIMIT WISDOM TO YOURSELF "Have you heard the counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? " (Job 15:8) Do not keep wisdom to yourself. Do you think there is no wisdom besides yours? Have you got and engrossed all knowledge from others and ...read more
