Ignorant By Choice Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 25, 2011

Ignorant Christians do not generally have an intellectual problem, they have a spiritual problem. Let’s evaluate ourselves in light of three questions suggested by the text of Hosea.

Ignorant By Choice (from selected verses in Hosea 4-5) 1. What a great two weeks we had in Camp! It is worth all the effort we put into it. 2. But while our kids were enjoying camp, over in Norway, 92 youth we gunned down at a Labor Party youth camp. What a horrid crime. 3. This week, gay couples ...read more

A Choice To Make

Contributed by Steven Buhr on Jan 19, 2011

I was thinking about whether there is just 'one thing' that is most needed in life. So I looked up that phrase…one thing. Here’s what I read in the Gospel of Luke

A choice to make… Jan. 2, 2011 Intro: - how would you rate your 2010? Good year? Bad year? Physically or spiritually? Do you feel closer to God or does it feel like He’s further away? - do you think you made good choices in 2010? - we’ve just had a busy season, busy ...read more

Voices And Choices

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 24, 2009

We have to be cautious because much like the original audience of Proverbs, we are in a marketplace of voices that compete for our time, attention and even our allegiance. Proverbs 1:7 reminds us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Forgiveness Is Not A Choice

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Aug 12, 2014

Forgiveness has eternal consequences. Perhaps that is why Jesus included it in his model prayer saying we are forgiven only when we forgive. Satan does not have to get us with every sin in the bible. All he needs is to get us with one.

I want to start with something funny, so listen to this. One Sunday a Preacher’s message was about forgiveness. Hoping to have made an impact, towards the end of the sermon, he asked his congregation, “How many of you have been able to forgive those who offended ...read more

Love Is A Choice Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

Every choice in life can be evaluated by asking, is this a loving choice? If it is not, it is a bad choice. All sin is a bad choice, for it is a violation of love for God or others. Everything that is right is so, because it is loving.
