    Most Americans work and much of their life is controlled by someone else. There certainly is nothing wrong with that. This country could not operate unless people were willing to fill the jobs that are needed.

    Some jobs require a lot from folks who apply for them. It is essential to find qualified people to fill these jobs. Illus: A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. Two men and a woman applied for this job. The day came for the final test to see which person would get ...read more

Suddenly a violent windstorm struck the lake, and the boat started taking on water and began to sink. They were in ...read more

    Did you know Chameleons shoot their tongue further than the length of their body to catch insects? In much the same way, people shoot out their tongue to bombard you with insults, curses, faults and false accusation.

    Genesis 31:1 Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and from what was our father's he has acquired all this wealth."

    Taming The Tongue Series

    based on 34 ratings
     | 18,087 views

    The Bible makes the control & proper use of the tongue a matter of great importance. The tongue is far too prone to excess, perversion & pollution. But the Christian who gains control over the tongue can control his life as well.

    JAMES 3:1-6 TAMING THE TONGUE [Matthew 12:37, Proverbs 13:3] The children in a prominent family decided to create for their father’s birthday a book of the family’s history. They commissioned a professional biographer to do the work, carefully warning him of the family’s "black sheep" problem: ...read more

    Chapter three comes as a warning on the use of the tongue and particular, the use of the gift to teach. James provides a twofold warning: (1) the teacher will be under greater scrutiny from God; and (2) the primary teaching tool is the tongue which must be under the control of the Holy Spirit.

    I. A Warning To Teachers - vs.1 Notice To Whom The Warning Was Designed - vs.1a ...My brethren... Notice What The Warning Declared - vs.1b ...be not many masters...

    During our low moments, maybe even depression, do we hid ourselves away? We can't hid from God. We need to come out of our emotional caves into the light of Christ.

    1 Samuel 24 In the Cave: God said to Adam “Adam I want you to do something for me” Adam replied, "Gladly, Lord, what do You want me to do?" "I want you to go down into that valley, across the river, and over to the hill. On the other side of the hill you will find a cave. In the ...read more

    Daniel knows that God is in control. This chapter reminds us that no matter where we are, even in the darkest place, God is still in control. God cares and God wants us to live faithfully to him. Will we have the courage to stand up like Daniel does?

    (Sermon by Rev George Hemmings) There’s lots to be excited by in the book of Daniel. Daring stories of young men standing up to mad kings. Fiery furnaces, strange dreams of statues and trees, men turning into beasts, hands appearing out of nowhere writing on walls, let alone Daniel being ...read more

    The Sovereignty Of God Series

    God’s the infinite Ruler of all; He is “running the show.” Nothing can prevent His predetermined plan. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Those who see God’s hand in everything can best leave everything in God’s hand.

    It’s been said, “How do you make God laugh? Tell Him your plans” (G.K. Chesterton). Our plans aren’t always in line with God’s. We may try to fight God’s will, but someone pointed out, “Your arms are too short to box with God” (J. W. Johnson). The ...read more
