    The most basic footwear of life is mutual love for one another.

    "I arrived in the city of EVERYWHERE early one morning. It was cold, and there were flurries of snow on the ground. As I stepped from the train to the platform, I noticed that the Baggage man and the redcap were warmly attired in heavy coats and gloves, but oddly enough, they wore no shoes. ...read more

    I used this as a follow-up to scheduled revival services in our church. It talks about what true revival is and how we can see it. I got the three R’s from Greg Laurie’s devotional a few weeks ago.

    Pain Turned Into Joy Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 12, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 18,375 views

    It seems unreal that pain could be turned into joy. Yet pain is the very stuff of joy. It will come, not instantaneously, but completely. The risen Christ proves this, and can transform our disappointments, disillusionments, and shame into joy.

    “You will have pain, but y our pain will turn into joy.” That brings back memories of the doctor’s office and that giant needle moving ever closer. “This will hurt a little bit.” A little bit! When you are a year old, it hurts a lot, and there is no joy in it. No, I do not remember being one ...read more

    An introductory message meant to help people look at the study of end-times prophecy with caution rather than going into it without thought and prayer.

    based on 3 ratings

    Jesus tells a parable about two people whose debts were forgiven. In doing so, Jesus was teaching about God’s grace and challenging some religious perceptions of his day and perhaps ours.

    Faith is an active process and something we must work at. When we become lazy we begin to drift and can end up in waters we dont want to be in.

Heb 2:2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, Heb 2:3 ...read more

    Why are we here? What’s the point? All of our striving and searching for meaning ultimately lead to dead ends that don’t satisfy us. God provides the remedy by transforming our lives to be like His Son.

    Getting Past Self-Indulgence
