Why Are There So Many Hypocrites? Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 30, 2003

A hypocrite is literally “one who hides behind a mask.” While there certainly are some believers who are hypocrites, real Christians are forgiven sinners. As we distinguish the difference between being real and being a mask-wearer, we recognize that bel

Contributed by Joanna Loucky-Ramsey on Mar 3, 2003

God’s kind love seen in David’s kindness to Saul’s family, in the parables of the Prodigal Son & the Good Samaritan, is expressed best in Christ’s death for undeserving sinners; we are called to show that same kindness to others.

Stop Being Yoked With Unbelievers

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 12, 2005

Paul asks us to stop being yoked with unbelievers. However, he does NOT ask us to stay away from them. Why? Jesus wants us to be holy, and he invites us to join in with his mission to reach sinners!

Introduction: Paul has been telling the church that he and his fellow worker Timothy fix their “eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Cor 4: 18) Paul longs for his heavenly dwelling (5:2) but in the meantime makes it his ...read more

Depravity

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Nov 22, 2004

Many people have trouble with the concept of total depravity. While not denying they are sinners, many people feel that their sin isn’t bad enough to condemn them. What they don’t understand is that any sin is wholly unacceptable to God.

Contributed by Tony Abram on May 10, 2010

In this age of cutting corners, 'cheating' in schools, and work, it becomes more important then ever that we as followers of the Lord be examples of both believer and sinner. Jesus said in Matthew 7:20 (KJV) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
