    God loves to seek sinners and longs to save them.

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 29, 2012
     | 4,232 views

    We are a people group with the privilege and the honor of living the Word of God as witnesses. I believe that if we start accepting ourselves as the people group of heaven who are in place on earth to share the Gospel of Jesus as we are empowered by the

    James And Paul On Works And Faith

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jun 30, 2012
    based on 9 ratings
     | 11,025 views

    James 2 and Romans 4 have some interesting contrasts. Faith without works is dead or faith apart from works is what saves... which is true?

    Last week James told us that if we are careless with our language our religion is worthless. (Jas. 1:26) This week James tells us that if we believe without acting on it our faith is worthless. (Jas. 2:14,17,20,26). A worthless religion and a worthless faith make a worthless Christian and a ...read more

    Revival begins when the eyes turn from vanity to the Word, restoring focus, holiness, and joy through Christ’s living presence.

    Why I should draw the line where God does in order to lead a fulfilling life and properly respresent the Christ following life to the unchurched.

    Last week we concluded from Scripture that God isn’t the bogeyman some people make Him out to be. (“Does God Punish Us When We Sin?”) Instead of being inclined to punish us when we sin He is actually more inclined to show us mercy. He loves us so much that Jesus suffered our punishment.

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,519 views

    Don't sell your birthright, like Esau did. Don’t sell your priesthood. Don’t sell the promises of God. And don’t sell your power over sin. Instead, enjoy your inheritance rights as a child of God, and live like the king that you are!

    Some time ago (September 16, 2009), an article in The Washington Post began with these words: “The king folds her own laundry, chauffeurs herself around Washington in a 1992 Honda, and answers her own phone. Her boss's phone, too.” The article was about Peggielene Bartels, a secretary in the ...read more
