We Are Born To Rule Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Here in Psa. 8:6 it says clearly, "You made him the ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet." Man is made the ruler of nature, and he is made king of creation by the Creator Himself.

Today we go far beyond the vision of David, not only into the macrocosm of the vast universe, but because of new instruments ...read more

Love Does Not Brag And Is Not Arrogant Series

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 11, 2004

This is an in-depth look at how pride is contrary to truly loving God and our neighbor. We examine how pride is often manifested in our lives.

Arrogance or pride (which often leads to bragging) cannot co-exist with love. Arrogance is having or showing an exaggerated opinion of one’s own importance, merit, ability, accomplishments, etc. It is being conceited. It leads to having and demonstrating contempt for others. Jesus stated that ...read more

The Remedy For An Unsatisfied Life

Contributed by James Snyder on Apr 11, 2016

The abundant Christian life cannot be taken for granted, but must be intentional. The key to the abundant Christian life is a radical focus on Jesus Christ.

The focus today is on the Christian. The whole book of Song of Solomon deals with the Bride of Christ. Nothing in this book has anything at all to do with the non-Christian. Applying anything in this book to the non-Christian is completely wrong. As a Christian, God has things to say to me that the ...read more

The Sword Of Speech

If we have God's truth in our hearts, we must speak our witness. It is not good enough to remain silent. That word must be a word of love and it must be a word of justice. Martin Luther King exemplified this discipline.
