    Is It Enough Just To Love God

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013
     | 4,121 views

    Is it enough just to love God? By that we mean, it is enough to be well pleasing to God to simply love Him? Some Christians would say yes, others no, but what does God's word say? That is the focus of this lesson.

    Last week I asked a dozen people this simple question, “Is it enough just to love God?” Only two people said “yes it was enough just to love God,” while the other ten emphatically said, “no it’s not, we have to obey Him.” So what is the answer? Is it enough ...read more

    No matter how many and good the works you do for the church, if Jesus is not at the center of them you are missing the target.

    Have you ever been in love? Remember back to those first dizzy days. Nothing else really mattered, did it, beyond when you would see your sweetheart next. Spending time with him or her was the most important thing in your life. Did you rush through chores to be ready earlier, or linger in front ...read more

     | 6,773 views

    To remain faithful in the face of pressure, we need to be grounded in our identity as followers of Christ, with knowledge, obedience, and love.

    We spend one Sunday a year praying for persecuted Christians around the world. Of course there’s the “Martyr of the Month” column in the newsletter, and occasionally our bulletin inserts will highlight a trouble spot or a new martyr. But that’s all the time most of us spend ...read more

    Our churches can be so active these days, but without love we’re not going to reach our potential. Activity can not take the place of attractiveness, and we are to shine so we can draw men and women to Christ. Love for others will cause us to want to be a

    The church at Ephesus had much going to it and only one thing going against it - that thing was THE THING...It was now backslidden.

    The Backslidden Church Revelation 2:1-7 * Today we begin ‘Part 2’ of the Revelation. Chapter 1 constitutes Part 1 of this book because it highlights the things which “have been.” Chapter 2 begins with the things which are. While we “THINK” it will be a good thing to get to the present-day ...read more

    The Church at Smyrna is a church which received no criticism from the Lord but much abuse from both the culture and the "congregation" (those who ’say’ they are Jews)

    The Unveiling The “Beat Up” or “Bloodied” Church Revelation 2:8-11 * From my observation we live in an increasingly violent culture.

    It has been said that love is a universal language. The same has been said of music. However, I believe that the same could be said of suffering. Each of these speaks a language that can only be heard in depths of our hearts. Only in our hearts can we find the language of unexplainable misery ...read more

    Ephesus had many commendable qualities. Yet almost without notice the church began to slip and lose ground. It was not what they were doing that was the core of their problem. If they were to go forward the church needed to return to where they once were.
