    Every year we fail to fulfill our New Year’s resolutions to change something in our lives because we are trying to change the wrong things for the wrong reasons. God wants us to be conformed into the image of His Son Jesus, and our resolutions, commitmen

     | 10,175 views

    What approach are you taking to be justified before God? Are you trying to justify yourself by what you do, or are you trusting yourself to what Christ has done on the cross of Calvary. Are you saving face with God or do you have a saving faith in God?

    What is the best way to start to understand anything? When I read a book I start on Chapter One. There are a lot of people in the world that cannot understand the things of God because they never spent time trying to read God’s Holy book, The Bible.

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw ...read more

    While we live on earth, temptation and sin will try to infect us like common disease. Only God and you know the true condition of your heart and your spiritual life. We are to examine ourselves or have regular checkups to monitor our spiritual health.

    Intro: Notice from the verse the word “examine.” Most of us go to the doctor AFTER getting sick. Some go to the doctor BEFORE getting real sick. Moreover, very few go to the doctor for regular checkups even when they are well. While we live on earth, temptation and sin will try to infect us ...read more
