     | 14,512 views

    The fool says in his heart, "there is no God."

    The word “fool” doesn’t get as much use now as it once did. If one of my mates does something profoundly stupid I don’t usually cry out “you fool”. I might say “you are such an idiot” or “what a goose”. I’m sure many people you know would use much more colourful language than that. Fool is one of ...read more

    How to be great in the kingdom of God. The last become first - we become less, so Jesus becomes greater, we become great because of Jesus authority. Practical, clear, concise.

    First things first, who can argue with wisdom like that? It is the essence of Stephen Covey’s book of the same name, “First Things First”. Covey claims that his organizing process will help you categorize tasks so you focus on what is important, not merely what is urgent. Covey claims that using ...read more

    Abraham, Pt. 9

    GOOD GRIEF (GENESIS 23) Charlie Brown of the popular Peanuts comic strip has a habit of blurting out two words whenever he is stuck, trapped or frustrated.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,105 views

    Discipleship is not a casual affair. In a series of three encounters, Jesus shows the high priority he places on discipleship.

    “Let’s cut to the chase. After nearly two decades of studying Christian churches in America, I’m convinced that the typical church as we know it today has a rapidly expiring shelf life.” This dire assessment of the state of the church begins George Barna’s 1998 book, The Second Coming of The ...read more

     | 6,542 views

    The most common thing associated with the Christian life is to take God’s word and go through the process of internalizing it. When you first become a Christian you hardly know where to begin. I read through the Bible every year. It’s a big task to tak

    Word Breakers & Will Benders Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Oct 1, 2015
     | 6,557 views

    How we talk and interface our will with the will of others says something about our Father in heaven. Our words, promises, and intents reflect on people’s view of God. God desires an accurate reflection of Himself in and through us.

    Word Breakers & Will Benders Matthew 5:33-37 33 "Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 34 But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it ...read more
