In the face of a war against evil do we have our lives in order?
2 Corinthians 13:5-9 I have heard news commentators and writers talk about how recent events have caused them to stop and reflect on life.

We are spiritual sowers by our witness for Jesus.
Text: Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, a sower went out to sow” (Matthew 13:3). Why would Jesus use the words “sow and sower”? What does it mean to “sow”? What is a “sower”? What is a parable? Why did Jesus teach in parables? Jesus used the words “sow and sower” ...read more

It is impossible to live a life characterized by blessing God while simultaneously cursing other believers. To attempt to so live is to demonstrate that one is suffering spiritual schizophrenia.
JAMES 3:7-12 SPIRITUAL SCHIZOPHRENIA “Every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who ...read more

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:1-3
God has established spiritual laws that can change our circumstances. These spiritual laws, like all laws, are designed to bless us, but they only do so as we submit ourselves to them.
Our lives are constantly being effected by civil laws, natural laws, and spiritual laws. Some laws will take precedence over others. We might establish a civil law that says it’s perfectly legal to drive 55 MPH on a curvy road, but if the road becomes covered with ice, the natural law of ...read more

Attitudes to avoid because they promote shallow spirituality.
Last week we looked at "surface spirituality", the soil that did not receive the seed because it had been "walked on" and was hardened. We learned that we can develop a hardened heart when others hurt us if we’re not careful. If we let our hearts become bitter and unforgiving the Word of God ...read more
