    When we fail to take responsibility for our own mistakes, we fail to recognize that we too are sinners. By taking responsibility for our actions, we repent and receive the gift of forgiveness.

    It wasn’t me! Exodus 32:15-26 Introduction Dorthy Sayer wrote in “The divine ‘scheme of things,” as Christianity understands it, is at once extremely elastic and extremely rigid. It is elastic, in that it includes a large measure of liberty for the creature; it is rigid in that it includes the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,802 views

    The pursuit of happiness is a western deception that even takes Christians captive. As followers of Christ, we are in the pursuit of holiness; to glorify God by becoming what he means for us to be. Holiness is the wonderful opportunity of grace.

    Ro 8:22-23 - 22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
