     | 949 views

    The word “philosophy” means a love of wisdom. Paul said, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” (Col 2:8). There must be two kinds of philosophers.

    Jesus had come to earth to bring the Kingdom of God to men. Jesus made it clear that things in the Kingdom were very different from things in the world. In the Kingdom of heaven, people who have nothing to offer God are accepted.

     | 7,658 views

    Christians often talk about how that what Satan offers is empty and vain, yet the majority of Christians live, at best, half-lives. More empty than full, more cloudy than sunny, more searching than satisfied. Why? Because we have confined the power of the

    Easter weekend, our church sent out hundreds of plastic eggs to help our neighbors consider their own existence. Inside, a simple message: “Is your life as empty as this egg?

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2019

    If Jesus wasn't the Christ, our faith would be in vain, and we would yet be without salvation. If He is the Christ, and we know He is, then He is the only source of hope for humanity. We all must deal with the question regarding the identity of Jesus. How we respond will affect our eternity.

    Thou art the Christ Matthew 16: 13-16 As we continue looking at profound statements in Scripture, we come to an intimate moment with Jesus and His disciples. They have traveled from Bethsaida to Caesarea Philippi. It is here that Jesus asked a fundamental question – whom do men say that I am? ...read more
