    based on 37 ratings
     | 12,741 views

    We can afford to be honest about our flaws and failings, because we are completely loved and accepted in Christ.

    "Most Christians are habitual liars." Let me repeat that: "Most Christians are habitual liars." And quite proficient at it, too. Now, of course we don’t call it lying. And we don’t think of it as lying. In fact, we don’t think of it at all; we just do it, and that’s part of the problem. We’ve ...read more

    There is a generation that does not bless their mother. Let it never be said of the people of God that we failed to bless our mothers.

    There is a Generation Proverbs 30:11–14 In this passage, a literal translation of the phrase that begins each verse is "there is a generation." Among the bad things that typify Agur’s generation is a general dishonoring of parents. We can get a feel for the severity of the situation by looking ...read more

    If we fail at the basics, we have no solid foundation; Peter gives us that foundation by proposing two truths.

    God’s Agenda For Us (I Peter 1:1-5) 1. Sometimes we are like the little boy who was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball & bat.

    Forgiveness

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Apr 9, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,376 views

    Forgiveness is not an option for the Christian, it is a command. There are good and bad consequences when we forgive, and when we fail to forgive.

    Jesus had just given some detailed instructions about how to deal with a person who does you wrong. In v18, He says that heaven will back the person up who follows these instructions. This brought a question to the disciples' minds, and as usually was the case, Peter was the spokesman for them, ...read more

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 23, 2020
     | 1,564 views

    There is a danger of prematurely imagining that we are in ‘End Times’. There is also a danger of failing to recognize ‘End Times’ when they are on us.

    Someone failed to tell the Apostles that they were to be the head and not the tail or they would not have suffered so much and only to be executed.

    Sure, Noah behaves badly. He gets drunk and naked in his tent. He fails his family. He fails God in that he’s way out of control. But remember it is Ham’s disrespect, not Noah’s failures that feature in this story.

    Genesis 9 – Part 6 – ARE MY KIDS CURSED WHEN I CRITICISE MY PARENTS? What grandfather would curse his grandson? Especially since the bone he had to pick was with his son, not his grandson. And the horrible thing is that God seems to go along with the curse! History shows that ...read more
