    email: cholt@gt.rr.com BY GRACE . . . BY WORKS By Charles W. Holt Eph. 2:8-10 James 2:14-25 Faith works! No, I really mean it. Faith works. But, you may reply, every Christian knows that.

    God's Love Is Personal

    What does it mean to say that God’s love is "personal"? What difference does it make?

    Most people would agree, I think, that our society is becoming increasingly impersonal. More and more of the daily activities that used to involve contact with another human being are being automated. For instance, some of us are old enough to remember the days before telephone answering machines ...read more

    Alienated from the life of God, strangers to the covenants and the promises, we needed help! (#20 in the Every Spiritual Blessing series)

    “Aliens”. I wonder how many different pictures pop into people’s heads these days when they hear that word. If I was pressured to guess, I suppose I’d say that the larger majority, at least in the American culture, would say that when they hear the word they think of beings from other ...read more

    One of the most common questions people ask is, "Is it possible to know where I am going to go when I die?" The Bible says that we can know for sure that we have eternal life. "Knowing Where You’re Going" spells out what the Bible says about how to secu

    based on 31 ratings
     | 9,829 views

    It is one thing to know history and theology; it is another entirely to understand our own hearts. Job’s pilgrimage into self-understanding led to self-hatred, but in Christ that can be redeemed.

    I’ll ask you to repeat with me this wonderful, ringing affirmation from the New Testament: But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. I know. I know the one in whom I have put my trust. ...read more

    Those who appreciate the depth of sin that God has forgiven in them will forgive others as well.

    This morning, we continue our journey through the parables of Christ. Parables, as I’ve noted before, are short and simple.
