    Christmas - Risking Your Reputation By Obeying God!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 15, 2007
     | 2,720 views

    Joseph had made a biblical, lawful and compassionate decision to quietly divorce Mary, but obeying God was more important to him than protecting his reputation. How about you?

    Joseph was a “righteous man” (1:19). He knew what was right and he was ready to act upon it. Joseph was engaged to Mary but they were not yet living together (1:18) and of course that immediately sounds strange to most 21st century people. Engaged but not living together! Yet there is even more to ...read more

    The Temptations Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 21, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,546 views

    The temptations expose our vulnerabilities. Beware of the devil's traps of performance (we are what we do), popularity (we are what others think), and possession (we are what we have).

    Jesus was tempted, so are we today. Jesus overcame the temptations, so can we today. • Even under a direct confrontation with the devil, alone in the wilderness, under harsh circumstances, Jesus won. If the devil tempts Him these ways, it would possibly mean that these were good entry ...read more

    Are we like Peter walking close enough to Jesus to be covered in His dust and doing things you never imagined? Peter walked on water; I can’t even begin to imagine what blessing’s Jesus has in store for those willing to walk in His dust.
