    Often, we, like the Corinthian believers, fail to remember the abundant grace which has been given to us through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We look more like the culture around us than the nature of Christ within us.

Your salvation has three stages: past, present, and future. The theological terms are justification, sanctification, and glorification. The moment you ...read more

    The figurative storms that we encounter in life are very real in their consequences. When they come...and they will...the Christian is wise to utilize the four anchors that God has provided.

    INTRODUCTION Oppositions to the Gospel may hinder our obedience or service. We may think that we cannot go on because the opposition is too much for us to handle. It will make us suffer more. But let these words from God strengthen us. I. THE GOSPEL IS POWERFUL, 8-9(Cf. Romans ...read more
