Fourth Commandment (4 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

In Romans 12:2 we read, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It seems that one of the easiest things in this world to do is follow the crowd and let others do our thinking for us. The lost world is convinced we are so dumb we can not think for ourselves. For example, we cannot even listen to the president of the United States address this nation on ...read more

A Test Of Endurance

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Jun 2, 2003

Jesus has been very busy in ministry and opposition is becoming stronger against him. He needed to withdraw. Jesus is tired, away from home, among non-Jewish people, one of which was a woman who had very little to offer to Him, but who wouldn’t go away.

INTRODUCTION Opening Statement: Have you ever been frustrated by a test or an exam that was unclear or needlessly confusing? I have and I am reminded of a story that I read this week in this regard. A guy was taking a class in ornithology (ôr´nə-thŏlʹə-jē), the study of ...read more

The Credible Christian Woman Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 21, 2002

The Credible Christian woman will be found if she nurtures her inner being, if she is being herself, if she is being satisfied with the occupation in which she is engaged and if she will be present to others.

(By Di Appleby) ’For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven’. I think women know a lot about seasons. It’s tied up with our biology – we keep on experiencing changes.

Battling The Flesh

Contributed by Bob Briggs on Dec 15, 2000

Who has not done war with their own desires in contrast to what God desires?

Who has not set out living in the Spirit only to be confronted by your own fleshly desires? I think each of us at one time or another, in one way or another, has battled the flesh. In Romans 8:1-3, Paul states There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law ...read more
