    99 And 44/100% Pure

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Dec 4, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,656 views

    None of us are perfect, but maybe with the help of God we can get to be 99 and 44/100% pure.

    One of the real catchwords that advertisers love to use these days is pure. I guess the thinking goes that if the company can convince us, the consumers, that the product is pure, we will buy it. If we really stop, and we listen to what people are saying, we can hear them using the word “pure” ...read more

    A lot of people have had questions about the purpose of the Sabbath. Jesus takes it head on and reveals a lot about how we should live our lives.

    Last time we ended with Jesus promising rest and peace for anyone who would come to Him and take His yoke—a yoke where He does the heavy lifting—no more striving to earn God’s favor by being good—only submitting lordship over your life to Him. The Jews got a picture of the rest of God through the ...read more
