     | 4,200 views

    We’re called to take a Chritian stand and not a political stand when it comes to war? Should we support it or oppose it?

    “A Christian Response To War” Matthew 5:9 March 23, 2003 I’ve heard it said that one of the best ways to make God laugh is for us to make plans.

    The remedy for rebellion against God is found in the one who was lifted up on the cross.

    Remedy for Rebellion In the 70s, when I was studying for my Ph.D at the University of Iowa, one of the books I studied was titled Why Men Rebel (Princeton 1970).

    Did Jesus advocate pacifism? Is taking human life always wrong? Does "Turn the other cheek" mean that we must allow ourselves, our families and our nation to be at the mercy of those who wish to do us harm?.

    Note: This message is a collaberation between myself and my friend Dave Pope It has been said that a person can but minister out of their ’overflow’, that is, out of the abundance of the Word of God in them and their personal experience. It is with this thought in mind that we present this third ...read more

    Can you relate to Peter’s overconfidence that led to failure? Let’s find some red flags so we can eliminate some opportunities in our lives to fall.

    Tell your neighbor, “My God knows!” Look to you other neighbor and tell them, “My God knows all about my sins.” Tell the person behind you, “My God knows all about my sins, and He has forgiven me and loves me.” If you don’t hear anything else today, hear that!
