    The Lenten season bares the skeletons of our disobedience in more ways than one; it Illuminates the one who was “obedient, even unto death on a cross” for our salvation. It also illuminates the less than stellar attitudes and behaviors we are prone to dis

    “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

     | 683 views

    Some of you have played Jenga with your family, right? You seek to pull piece after piece out without the tower collapsing. If Christianity were a Jenga tower, the resurrection is the one block that, when pulled, the tower comes crashing down every single time.

    Dead people stay dead.1 “Nobody goes to funerals and says, ‘What’s the over/under if this person comes alive again?’” I have yet to see one dead person come back to life. I doubt you have seen any dead person live again, either. Once people have gone down the road of death, they just don’t return.2 ...read more

    The cross of Christ can cure the condemnation of Adam’s choice. Through Jesus Christ we have received abundant grace and gift of righteousness. This grace does not give us license to sin, but grants us the freedom to live and grow in Godliness.

    Craving Evil And The Lottery

    based on 50 ratings
     | 3,877 views

    Israel’s history helps us understand the dangers of sinful patterns today. Craving evil is a root that bears bad fruit. Only the cross can deliver us.
