    Joy Filled Life In A Troubled Filled World (Part2)

    Contributed by Angel Caballero on Oct 19, 2009
     | 3,285 views

    Happiness depends on the right happening, but even when things go wrong, you can still have joy. The person whose happiness depends on ideal circumstances is going to be miserable much of the time.

    Introduction: This is the 2nd part of our study on the book of Philippians. When you talk about joy, you have to go to the book of Philippians A little, short book in the New Testament – only four chapters long. But 16 times in four chapters, Paul says “Rejoice… Be joyful.” Sixteen times ...read more

    Note the depth of honesty in the Gospels. There is no cover-up here: Peter blew it! But Before we condemn Peter, given the circumstances, would we have shown up in Caiaphas’ courtyard that evening?

     | 5,880 views

    The Christian life is a life filled with joy no matter what the circumstances or "happenings" around us. Paul’s letter to the Philippians is an encouragement to us as to what that life looks like or could look like.

    PURE AND SIMPLE JOY In the midst of our hectic schedules and frantic efforts to finish our tasks, do you ever stop and wonder if something is missing in your life?

     | 4,754 views

    Does life happen to you or do you happen to life? See how Philip adjusted to changing life circumstances and how learning from him can help us cope too.

    How you look at life really can determine whether you act on life or life acts on you. Is life a series of unrelated coincidences? Is it the cosmos is conspiring to bring about the most pain and suffering possible? Is it something you command like an army to bend to your will? None of these are ...read more

    Spiritual Laws

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Mar 8, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,437 views

    God has established spiritual laws that can change our circumstances. These spiritual laws, like all laws, are designed to bless us, but they only do so as we submit ourselves to them.

    Our lives are constantly being effected by civil laws, natural laws, and spiritual laws. Some laws will take precedence over others. We might establish a civil law that says it’s perfectly legal to drive 55 MPH on a curvy road, but if the road becomes covered with ice, the natural law of ...read more
