     | 10,737 views

    Sometimes we may be frustrated with our political system, with what our leaders do while in office, with our government as a whole. Yet, God calls us to obey the law, pray for our leaders, and above all, follow God.

     | 12,438 views

    At the cross we see an intimate exchange between one criminal and his Messiah. And there we find not only how to have eternal life, but what that life is like. Jesus points us to the original garden relationship we can have with God, ours for the asking.

    Heavenly Hope Seven Last Words from the Cross Part 2 * Luke 23:32-33, 39-43 We are in week two of a Lenten series called, “Seven Last Words from the Cross.” We are paying attention to Jesus’ last statements, because last words matter.

The Pharisees had carefully collected both Herodians who supported paying taxes to Rome and Zealots who thought that paying taxes to Caesar was treason against the ...read more

    Spiritual Growth Takes Humility; Pride Kills It, Where Do We Get Humility?

    Contributed by David Leach on Jan 13, 2014
     | 5,690 views

    Pride - is dependence on and confidence in myself, it always seeks to take the credit. Humility - is dependence on and confidence in God, it only seeks to give God the credit.

    Spiritual growth takes humility; pride kills it, where do we get humility? 1 Pe 5:5 ...Be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,248 views

    John the Baptist, the last of the OT prophets or the first of the NT, proclaimed Law and the need to repent, but also Gospel and how to be forgiven. He looked forward to Jesus and must have been elated when he was told what Jesus said and did

    Matthew 11: 2-15 The message John the Baptist preached and the message he received Lutherans are very firm on teaching Law and Gospel and emphasising the correct distinction between the two. We need them both, Law and Gospel, God's Law, rules, duties and ...read more

     | 5,165 views

    Many physicists and scientists now argue that humans do not have free will. The Bible teaches we are free to choose.

    Do we have free will? I think most people are actually not really interested in this question. But there are some really interesting and important aspects to this question.
