    The Destructive Nature Of Man’s Human Spirit

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Apr 14, 2025
     | 385 views

    The Old and New Covenants meet with God in different ways. But few have asked whether these differences create spiritual powers that work against the Christian life. This maybe why Paul struggled with a Church in transition.

    The Destructive Nature of Man’s Human Spirit Life sets before us an interesting journey of discovery. Within that journey we record what our eyes perceive as beauty, what our hearts cherish as food for the soul and what our spirit learns of eternity. Hence every endeavor in life relies upon body, ...read more

    Persecution against the children of God is meant to accomplish two things... shut them up and shut them down.

    Matthew 5: 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Today I want to speak on something that has been going on since the birth of Cain and Able… the persecution of the children of God. It is no coincidence the last Beatitude ...read more

    After Camping, We Should Shut Up About The Rapture, Right?

    A May 22, 2011 response to the false teachings of Harold Camping with regard to May 21, 2011 explaining that Christians need to declare the truths of Christ's return more enthusiastically than ever.

    Because of the intense scrutiny brought upon the person and people of Jesus Christ by a false prophecy, I believe the Spirit of God has led me to give address the truth of Jesus Christ’s promised return for His bride. Jesus Christ didn’t return yesterday. There was no rapture. Jesus ...read more

     | 6,303 views

    The devil always taunts God's people when troubles come, but faith reminds us that God is faithful, and that victory is on the way! We look at the dilemma of unanswered prayer, why God doesn’t answer, and what to do until He does answer.

    Contemporary Chrsitians are tempted to sit behind the secure walls of the church rather than engage the enemy of sin in the world. But, Christ Jesus calls us to leave the closed doors and open our minds to his gospel by living and sharing it with others.

    Preached 1985. What merits our coming to church frequently? We need to come with the expectation that God will meet us in the presence of His people. And then we will respond with prayer for the church, not mere criticism or complaint.
