     | 1,367 views

    One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

    These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians. For example, there are many ...read more

    Ambassador In Chains

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Nov 8, 2025
     | 183 views

    True strength isn’t power or control, but courage — the boldness to speak Christ’s truth even in chains.

    Good MORNING. Paul’s description of himself as an ambassador in chains led me to one of history’s most underrated stories, so let’s start there. It was a long time ago, the year 1219. Everyone was dirty back then. It was the middle of the 5th crusade, a great war between Europe and Islam, and a ...read more

    Hey there, family! So glad you could join us today. We're about to get into something that I reckon a lot of us have been wrestling with lately. It's this idea of trouble in the world, worry in our hearts, and God's control over all. You know, it's funny, I was reading a book by Max Lucado the ...read more

     | 8,012 views

    In light of the fact that we only have so much to give, I’d like to attempt to bestow a Mother’s Day gift today- the gift of limitations. God can do everything, but you and I cannot! So, here's permission to set some limits and boundaries in your life.

    The Gift of Limitations -(Matthew 25:1-13) We all have limitations. We are finite beings who are limited by time and space, and by a finite supply of energy and focus. Furthermore, you could say we are limited by our mission or purpose in life, although some never learn to set limits that keep ...read more
