    What Your Tongue Saya About You

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Oct 27, 2013
     | 7,264 views

    We get mad when people say nasty things about us but what about what we say to ourselves? Too many times we allow satan to tear us down from the inside out and to use our thoughts against us. Believers need to bring every thought unto captivity to Christ.

    What Your Tongue Says About You There have been countless sermons preached on the power of the tongue. I have preached a few of them myself over the years and many of those sermons were talking about how what we say affects other people and that’s very important because what we say to and ...read more

    God gives us the resources to face the uncertain times we may face. Paul's brief word to Timothy gives us insight into how we can face challenges from our health, our financial situation, or our culture. The three key terms in the text provide the key.

    Staying Steady in Unsteady Times 2 Timothy 2:7 For years now, I’ve met almost every Thursday for lunch with a couple other pastors. We usually talk about all kinds of important things.

    Life change starts with the renewing of our mind. We need to (1) watch what we feed our mind, and (2) not quench the Spirit (1 Thess 5:19) when He prompts, reminds and guides us with the Word of God.

    Last week, we talked about surrendering to God because we believe that God has our best in mind. • When we honestly confess our willingness to submit to Him as Lord, He steps in and guides us in ways we do not expect and we will experience His greatest blessings. • We believe it ...read more

    It doesn’t matter how much you care if you aren’t teaching your people what they need to know.

    Education is a hot topic around the country this year. It’s no longer about testing and accountability, but about curriculum itself. Although there’s an additional level of complication with the disagreement over why different groups have different outcomes. We no longer know, if we ever did, what ...read more
