    based on 157 ratings
     | 17,351 views

    The Bible has a lot to say about love. But so does the world. The problem is that the world doesn’t say the same thing the Bible says, & we tend to get the two mixed up.

    MELVIN NEWLAND,MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX ILL. I like the story about a rather legalistic Seminary student who wanted to have a scriptural basis for everything he did. He felt he was on solid ground if he could quote Bible book, chapter & verse to ...read more

    As we prepare for our Lord’s birth among us, we are confronted with God’s realtiy: Things are not always what they seem. God’s ways are not teh world’s ways.

    Things Are Not What They Seem Dear friends in Christ, grace and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ. Amen.

    Discovering The True You

    Contributed by Stuart Blount on Jun 16, 2004
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,403 views

    The world is waiting for God’s children to discover who they really are and in so doing begin to fulfill their God-given purpose of standing out so significantly that the world will want to be who we are!

    The phrase that captured my attention: “…the glorious freedom of the children of God..” Creation longs to be released from corruption in the way that God’s children have been in Christ. Do we truly understand what it means to be the children of God? Why is this considered such a ‘glorious ...read more

We’re continuing what I hope is an exciting Bible study series, “The Great Adventure!” The Christian life ought to be a great adventure! • If you’re bored in your Christian walk… its NOT God’s fault!
