    based on 6 ratings
     | 19,389 views

    God’s way of "self-fulfillment" goes against the grain of our culture of Self, and allows us to be Free to Be Nothing.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,663 views

    In Acts 2:42, fellowship is named the 2nd item the church devoted themselves to. Why 2nd? Was that a mere accident, or was there a special importance God wanted us to see in that part of worship?

    Jesus stressed the need to help the poor and needy. It's a powerful commandment, but there are those who would warp it to meet their own agendas (rather than God's). But how would they do that?
