Victory From Mistakes Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 11, 2012

Our first inclination when we blow it is to hide from God. But as we learn in these two psalms, our first reaction should be to turn to God and trust in God to forgive, heal, and teach us how to be like God. If you have ever sinned or made a mistake, thes

Pride & Humility Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 12, 2012

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 15, 2012

A holy life lived to the glory of God attracts outsiders to ask, "What must I do to be saved?"

“What must I do to be saved?” [1] I fear many vital, even essential words are disappearing from common usage today. Society as a whole is becoming linguistically impoverished.

Shame

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 20, 2013

A Remedy For Wretchedness

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 28, 2015

Paul desperately wants to be delivered from the influence of indwelling sin. He struggles, as do we all, with his corrupt nature. Through Christ we overcome and make progress...yet the more we grow, the more in touch we are with our faults.

Do you ever feel like a hopeless mess? The Apostle Paul sure did. In Romans 7 he berates himself for his shortcomings: “What a wretched man I am!” Paul's problem was a serious condition. Sin enslaves; it takes over. Jeremiah writes that the human heart is “desperately ...read more
