Living Under Judgement And Loving It.

Contributed by Cameron Conway on Oct 3, 2018

At one point or another you’ve probably heard a Christian talk about God’s judgment falling on some person, place, organization, or even on yourself. Biblically it is the great equalizer that reminds us that one day we are all to stand before God for our celestial hearing (Revelation 20:11-15) ...read more

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Apr 30, 2018

Lukewarmness is that state of being a little too cold to be hot and a little too hot to be cold; no fire, zeal or enthusiasm for the things of God. Believers who yawn in the face of God. How is lukewarmness manifested? Lukewarm about sanctification.

Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Sep 14, 2010

Sanctification is a forgotten concept in much of the modern church. Salvation is preached much and is needed. Deliverance is preached in some circles as well, but the thought of have a standard of separated, holy living for God is just as important.

"Sifting, Taking Out The Trash"

Contributed by James Lee on Nov 22, 2013

Our lives are placed through a sifter. With each new day, the crank is turned and a few more of our rough edges disappear as the finer parts of our new man and the coarse parts of our sinful, fleshly nature are revealed so that these character flaws can be discarded.

I bring out a sifter with flour, rocks and stick mixed together and set it on the table, next to a pile of un-sifted flour. I can remember not too many years ago when we used an old hand operated flour sifter. It was a simple little contraption that consisted of a little tin can with a screen in ...read more
