    Peter had denied Jesus three times. Jesus asks Peter is he truly loved him. Jesus may need to ask us the same thing. Peter didn't love Jesus as much as he thought he did. Do we love Jesus as much as we think we do?

    “DO YOU LOVE ME?” John 21:15-23 1) “Do you love me?” (15-17). The charcoal fire connection in 21:9. It is interesting that the Greek word for charcoal fire is found in only two places in the New Testament. Here in this story where Jesus is cooking fish for the ...read more

    Words matter. Proverbs gives us some advice on how to speak well.

    One of the most difficult things to do in life is to control what you say. We do a good job for a while but then in one weak moment and we can do irreparable damage. Words hurt and heal, they go deep into our hearts and minds. The old saying is not true that “sticks and stones can break our ...read more

    Moses had some parting words for the Israelites who were getting ready to leave the desert and enter the promised land. He revealed to them that they had an important choice to make. We have the same choice to make. Let’s see how Moses' words apply to us.

    Christians need to interact with the world to reach the world with the gospel. They need to be good citizens of a generally hostile system without compromising their faith.

    TITUS 3: 1-7 RENEWED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT [Romans 13:1-7] Christians have been changed and are different than we once were, yet we still need to be reminded of who we are and what has been done to us and how it was done.

    How Does God Know All Things? Series

    Orthodox Christians have always held that God has absolute and exhaustive knowledge of everything, including the future. But how is He certain about the future?

    Sometimes, there are statements made in the Bible which are very meaningful, yet easy to overlook. I believe that this passage in the Sermon on the Mount is one such statement. Jesus is telling us something about the nature of God in this passage which is so sublime that it should cause our ...read more

     | 14,413 views

    Freedom is a concept that is very important in today's world, yet not everybody really understands what the word means. False teachers promise liberty, but this not a promise they can fulfill. The freedom they offer is an empty freedom
