     | 9,404 views

    The abundant life is not acheived through accumulating worldly possessions.

    Text: “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6). Is the Lord going to move away? Some people might get that idea when they read this Scripture. If you think for a moment, “Seek the LORD while he may be found” does sound like He is ...read more

    Acting Good Or Good Actions?

    Contributed by Judith Hand on Feb 8, 2014
     | 7,056 views

    True religion is not acting good but doing good.

    ACTING GOOD …OR GOOD ACTIONS? Our passage in Isaiah seems contradictory at first… the prophet is told to tell the people they are in rebellion and sin even though it says “day after day they seek God out and seem eager to know his ways”! But God says they are a nation who ...read more

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Aug 30, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,602 views

    We need a godly sorrow in order to repent truly and turn from our sins unto God, but merely feeling sorry or guilty is a sorrow of the world that will only produce a false repentance.

    REPENTANCE THROUGH GODLY SORROW. Study Text: 2 Corinthians 7: 10 – 11 For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted, but the grief of the world works out death. For behold this same thing (you being grieved according to God); how much it worked out ...read more

    What is it about active, vital believers that is so threatening to popular culture?

    One of my favorite television episodes of “The Twilight Zone” television series was a humorous episode where the entire plot revolved around a misunderstanding with an alien species and culminated in the discovery of a book. The title of that book was “To Serve Man” and the misunderstanding was ...read more

    Nicodemus - religion vs relationship

    Nick at Night This passage is one of the most familiar in scripture. You see John 3:16 advertised on road signs and sporting events. Luther called John 3:16, “the gospel in microcosm” It is one of the first passages that we memorize, usually in a Sunday School class. Now don’t get me wrong, I love ...read more

    a prostitute, religion and Salvation in the house

    Intro: in Luke 7:36-50 there is an amazing story about religion, sinners and a Saviour. Jesus forgives a prostitute but doesn’t pardon a religious crowd.

     | 4,703 views

    Christianity vs Philosophy and Religions

    To many places, there are many ways, each of which leads to the same point. This is the case in many events that occur in our world. Some ways are shorter than the rest, but all still end up at the same place. This is not the case with the kingdom of God. To eternal life, there is only one way. As ...read more

     | 4,974 views

    Although modern Christians seem to have abandoned any ethic of avoiding worldliness, the Bible has not. But what is worldliness, and why must we avoid it?

    The Spirit of the Age (I John 2:15-17) 1. People go through great lengths to avoid being proud and worldly. A rabbi and a cantor are standing in the largely empty synagogue one day, talking mystically about how, given the awesome glory of God’s Infinite Divine Presence, they are each really ...read more

    Hard Sayings: How To Accept Them

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 21, 2024
     | 598 views

    The problem with “nice” religion is that it isn’t religion at all, and today’s three Scriptural passages are proof of that reality.

    Nineteenth Sunday in Course 2024 Hard Sayings There’s a very popular opinion about religion, and I think you may be already aware of it. Folks often think that religion ought to be “nice.” In other words, religion should make you feel good about yourself, first, and then, if possible, about other ...read more
