"getting Too Friendly With Sinners"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Aug 31, 2022

Jesus' two parables in Luke 15:1-10 are about the character of God.

“Getting too Friendly with Sinners” Luke 15:1-10 Imagine living in Jesus’ world and imagine being labeled a “sinner” in that world.

Inward Intimacy With Christ

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Mar 2, 2024

Samson is a story of a man who had an outward consecration but was missing an internal intimacy. Our number one charge as believers is to maintain an inward intimacy with Christ and to work "with God" (instead of "for Him).

Being strong is part of what we have to do in order to fulfill what God has called us to do. It is true that God has ...read more

Worshipping in both modes. Over the door of the monastery hung a sign. It read, "To pray is to work; to work ...read more
