    God see all believers the same - we should not show favortism to the people that can give us an advantage.

    Becoming Debt Free Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 16, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,179 views

    One of the disciplines critical for us to practice in order to live debt free is to look beyond the immediate. You have to stay focused on God’s promised future. Debt is always about the immediate; it’s always seeking relief or immediate gratification

    Debt Free II Kings 4:2-7 Have you ever made a purchase and then felt bad or depressed afterwards? Have you ever bought anything that you ended up never using? I just found one of the greatest pullover sweaters in my closet and said, "Where did this come from?" It still had the tags on it! I ...read more

    Mountaintops

    We need to move from the mountaintop into the valley, from transformation to sacrifice, if we are going to be effective in the world.

    I don’t know about you but very often the place when I feel nearer to God is on top of a mountain. Mountain top experiences are great, and when I’m standing there, on top of a mountain enjoying the awesome majesty of God’s creation, that’s fantastic. And those who have been silly enough to follow ...read more

    Peter thought he had been disqualified from future ministry because of his denial. How can we understand the forgiveness and reconciliation that Jesus had for Peter. How does it apply to us today?
