    Jesus cautions us about the perils of longing for a past life we are meant to abandon, as illustrated by the story of Lot's wife in Luke 17:32.

    Last Wednesday was Women's Day, a day to commemorate women's rights. In Luke 17:32, Jesus urges us to remember an unnamed woman and the grave dangers of looking back to a life we are called to leave behind. This warning is one of the most sobering in the entire Bible.

     | 5,231 views

    Lack of zeal for the Gospel and Christian faith is a danger for those who are possessed of wealth and feel self-sufficient. Christ calls us from the cares of the world and deceitfulness of riches to restored spiritual vision, real safety and true wealth.

    Revelation 3__4-22 the Lukewarm Church "Blessed are the Lukewarm." Christians profess to follow religiously Jesus Christ. If that is so, then surely "Blessed are the Lukewarm" must have been one of his sayings for there are so many, many professing Christians who show no enthusiasm or service. ...read more

    Christian Love

     | 11,481 views

    A classic sermon by D. L. Moody on the importance, power, and indispensibility of Christian love.

    It speaks in Galatians about love, the fruit of the Spirit being love, joy, peace, gentleness, long suffering, meekness and temperance. The way this writer has put it -- and I think it is very beautiful -- is that joy is love exultant, peace is love in repose, and long suffering is love enduring. ...read more

    Setting a purpose for Christian living.

    Christians without goals are a little like Alice in the fairy tale ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
