    Deadly risk taking is more common then we realize. We may not purposely stare down the barrel of a shotgun. But many Christians behave in a self-defeating way that is equally careless and risky, and deadly.

    Are You Deceiving Yourself? / Part-1 Galatians 6:7 KJV A Example of deadly risk taking In 1982, “ABC Evening News” reported on an unusual work of modern art—a chair affixed to a shotgun. It was to be viewed by sitting in the chair and looking directly into the gun barrel. The gun was loaded and ...read more

    You Are Accepted

    Contributed by Doug Morrell on Dec 5, 2005
    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,395 views

    The reason we think and many times say such terrible things about others is that we do not truly accept that we are accepted. We are haunted by guilt because we have never accepted and forgiven ourselves.

    Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Or so we have been told. However, the Bible tells us that our words have the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21). God also tells us that only wholesome talk should come from our mouths and that we should encourage one another ...read more
