    Gentleness

     | 4,166 views

    I must say this, today there is a sadistic and egoistic pleasure in being snobby, overbearing, rude and curt? We have just forgotten to be kind, gentle and pleasant!

    Gentleness… Acts 11:2’And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him…’ It is sad that many are skeptical about fasting! Let us not do fasting as a ritual or a religious custom like many do these days without any change in them. Are you ...read more

    Contributed by Sheryln Miller on May 20, 2017
     | 7,761 views

    How will Jesus judge drug addicts? Will He say depart from me I never knew you because they wasted their lives pursuing empty pleasures?

    There are many Christians hooked on prescription drugs. Some are hooked on pain medication, some are hooked on anti-depressants and alcohol. I know there are Christians who legitimately need pain medication and anti-depressants but there are some who don’t need them or need as much they are using. ...read more

    Christian culture and worldly culture often clash. How do faithful disciples of Jesus Christ respond when cultures come into conflict?

    Our text today reflects two cultures that are in great conflict, and even though they were people from different cultures, the conflict arose over the subject of religion.
