    If you’re struggling with the sin of lust, that’s the danger. Lust is that deadly. Just about all Christians face sexual temptation at some stage. If you are you’ll see yourself in that story.

    Lust Matthew 5:27-30 Introduction In 1875 three balloonists left Paris with one thing on their mind: to set a new altitude record. They wanted to rise higher in their balloon than anyone before them. They’d been warned to take pressurized oxygen and so they loaded their oxygen gear for the ...read more

    The quest for happiness is most times misconceived and futile especially when not in line with the word of God

    Will you accept God’s forgiveness today? Will you forgive as God has forgiven you? God through Christ has forgiven us, forgiven me, so we, so I, must forgive others.

Ok, second question: Do you find it easier to forgive yourself or forgive other people? Sometime we ...read more

    If we know how the story ends, and who is in charge of it, we can feel secure even through turbulent times.

    I’ve heard it said that the world can be divided into two kinds of people: the ones who read the end of the book first, and the ones who don’t. Which one are you? I’[ve always thought I was the second kind - the one who never read the ending first - until I stopped to think ...read more

    Matthew 15: 10-20 - Barclay stated that this Scripture was 'one of the supreme contests in history'. Two religious viewpoints clash with what Jesus says. Jesus again points to what is really important.

     | 7,336 views

    Why didn’t Peter “snap” when he heard the rooster crow the first time? God gives us warnings, afterward we get consequences. Jesus' word always came to pass. Why didn't Peter get the hint? Do we?
