    What makes up your identity? Sanctification is a process that God wants to use to refine you. You'll find your identity there.

    In general, selfies tell a false story about us. They’re just a moment captured, not the whole picture. They’re misleading. Who we see in the mirror isn’t what others see. They’re as good as we want them to be. We can re-take them until we get it perfect. (not that I would ...read more

     | 1,201 views

    Make up and clothing cannot beautify an ugly soul. Only the soul is eternal so seek a beauty that lasts. That is what God calls valuable.

    Psalm 45:13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. Proverbs 11:22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. 1 Peter 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of ...read more

    This series looks at some of the things that Christianity teaches that many Christians are not in agreement with.

    Today is Part 2 of What’s Wrong With Christianity. As I said in Part 1, these messages are not asking what’s wrong with Christianity. Instead, they are describing what’s wrong with Christianity from the viewpoint of the Body of Christ. I’m going to repeat something that I said in the first ...read more

    You may possess resources, something that could nourish and help others. But if it is hoarded and boarded up, that stuff will spoil, stain, smell and be utterly pointless.

    2 Corinthians 5: 16 – 21 From Now On Intro: A young woman went to her pastor and said, “Pastor, I really need your advice in dealing with the sin of pride. I come to church Sunday after Sunday and I can’t help to think as I look around that I’m the prettiest girl in the congregation. I know I ...read more

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 15, 2023
     | 1,013 views

    Lack of belief is a sin because if you don't understand that reunion with God is the purpose of life, you will wind up lost. Literally.

    I was 8 years old when my family moved to Brazil. Everything changed: language, food, customs, weather. And one of the things that I at least did not expect was the absence of school buses. If Dad couldn’t take us we had to take public transportation: a taxi, a tram, a bus. We usually took a city ...read more

    Many today in our society are chasing after the wind and ending up overwhelmed and stressed in their lives. The result of this state is that many are robbed of their joy in life.

    Overwhelmed! On the lighter side: FOR THOSE WHO TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY...... * Save the whales.

    There are folks who do not care a thing about what the Bible teaches, but they do have favorite scriptures they bring up when it is convenient for them.

    There are two verses that we hear about frequently. (1) 1 Timothy 5: 23 seem to be a favorite Scripture for some. Paul had written to Timothy, who had a stomach condition, and he said to him, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often ...read more

    Gideon has been coaxed and prodded to and through a battle for the Lord (and Gideon ...) Now, he's in the mop up operation and deals violently with two towns that don't help him out. What are we to think of these actions? Where is the Lord in them?
