“A Grassroots Movement of Cooperation and Unity by The People of God”
Pride and humility. Most Christian’s function on the world’s definition of these words. In the Bible, the definitions are different. Are you proud? Are you humble? How would you know unless you understood the biblical definitions? Check it out in Pride and Humility.
How would you like to be able to look at the notes you have taken on a sermon and see the direction God is moving in your life? How would you like to be able to find and recall what you heard for more than a few days. Listen to
Hi Friend, A man once came to Jesus in a respectful and even worshipful attitude to ask what good thing he could do to inherit eternal life. He had great wealth so he may have expected advice on starting a philanthropic project. The Bible says he was a ruler so
Hi Friend, Growing up in a typical Protestant church, my early perception of Jesus was formed by the pictures surrounding the worship area. I don’t know exactly when it was that I looked at the picture behind the preacher on Sunday morning and said to myself “That picture is a
“Forgive and forget” is an old saying that makes no sense because it is impossible. We can’t forget. So what do we do with all the wrongs done to us and that we have done to others? Consider the bigger picture in this presentation, and be at peace.
Hi Friend, It sounds strange to write an essay on virtue that finds fault with niceness. After all, Jesus admonished us to treat others as we want to be treated. Who doesn’t want to be treated nice? So, I was surprised to read a Christian-based article describing a Culture of
Hi Friend, A young child often learns about life the hard way. When I was about 10 years of age my friend, Don Warden, and I purchased rubber band guns. They were plastic pistols that each held an arsenal of six rubber bands, ingeniously designed to shoot at enemy soldiers.
The old, familiar saying about the consequences of our actions might seem somewhat trivializing when we compare it with what the Bible says about our choices and their consequences. How have your choices affected your life, so far?
Hi Friend, December 7, 1941, is a date that will live in infamy, as then-President Franklin Roosevelt said when he addressed the nation the next day. In the surprise military strike on the American naval post in Hawaii by the Imperial Japanese Navy, four battleships, three destroyers, three cruisers and
This presentation is an explanation showing how to derive the biblical intent of the Bible story about Jonah. Many people today, including some who profess Christianity, don’t believe it happened. The debate is like noise that distracts us from what God is telling us in the biblical record.
Hi Friend, Do you want an example of how fast the world is changing? Rummaging through the books on my parent’s bookshelf I found a history textbook my mother used in school when she was about 10 years old. Mom was born in 1915. The textbook “The Beginners American History”
Hi Friend, Christians know that God is love so it seems counterintuitive to ask if there is anything that God hates, yet it is essential to knowing God. After all, if there is something or someone that God hates, I want to be aware of it. Love for your children,
This final presentation in our series, Making Life Easier, is about a paradoxical statement Jesus made. He said his yoke was easy and his burden light. Yokes limit freedom and are for hard work. Burdens are heavy. That’s what the words mean. What did Jesus mean? How do we understand
Hi Friend, The most incredible concept of life is that God created man in His own image. Cows and horses are just animals. What the creator of the universe imparted to no other species He freely gave to homo sapiens, which is the Latin term for “wise being.” The Apostle
Hi Friend, Christians are known to disagree with one another, which explains why so many denominations exist. You’ve also heard Christians ask, if we can’t live in harmony now, how can we do it for eternity? One question Christians have regarding creation, is why did the Intelligent Designer make us
Hi Friend, There is a lot we can learn from the early settlers that came to America and the Thanksgiving celebration that followed. The good intentions of the early colonists were not always combined with diligent effort. Hardship followed hardship for the first Pilgrims to land at Plymouth Rock. The
It probably wouldn’t come as a surprise that life is harder on us if we believe that we are better or worse than others. Is there a view of self that would make life easier? This part of our series, Making Life Easier, Self-View, digs into this vital issue.
Hi Friend, As a young minister one of my first responsibilities was working with young people on field trips. At first, this meant raising money from car washes and fruit sales so the kids could take a trip to a recreational area, stay in motel rooms, eat at restaurants and
Hi Friend, Several years ago, a U.S. President made the shocking statement that the greatest threat to the United States was not the Russians or the Chinese but the public education system in the United States which has undermined a belief in the values of the country. He went on
It is so easy to misunderstand someone. And that is why we are adding Communication to our series, Making Life Easier. When we are misunderstood or misunderstand, things can get tangled and relationships damaged. Learn some vital tools to communicate and understand others so that life is easier.
In this series, Making Life Easier, we have covered topics that are strategies for making life easier, such as problem-solving and personal organization. For the remainder, we will cover more character based topics, the first of which is Mildness. Jesus, we are told, was mild. What do you know about
Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes, that one of the few things in which we can find true satisfaction is our work. This squares with psychological research. People are happier when they are doing work that makes a contribution to a greater good. In other words, contributing makes life easier.
Hi Friend, Have you ever discovered something new that had been right in front of your eyes for years? Something so plain you wonder “why” you ever missed it in the first place. That happened to me once when I was reading Matthew 19:28. A young man wanted to follow
God tells us in his word that he will send “New Jerusalem” to us. His description of it in Revelation 21-22 is so different it’s difficult to comprehend. Can we learn anything about New Jerusalem by studying the Jerusalem of the past? This presentation explores Jerusalem from the past to
Hi Friend, As a rule, most people think it’s wrong to destroy. We hate to see the old building torn down even when it will be replaced by something modern and beautiful. We want to save the historic landmark. I confess I can’t stand to throw away old clothes. They’ve
Hi Friend, Of all the proofs that God exists creation itself is the most obvious. If such evident truth is not universally accepted, then we should not expect less visible proofs to be recognized. A case in point is the improvement in civilized culture since Christianity gained a foothold in
What does God want us to learn from Bible prophecy? It’s quite likely Christians in every generation since Christ’s death have believed he would return in their life-times. And, so far, they have all been wrong. What is the purpose for Bible Prophecy, then, if it’s not to know when
Hi Friend, It is nearly impossible to comprehend that a nation of a few million people could exist without a leader. Yet there was a time when ancient Israel had no king, no standing army, or even a system of governance that most of the world would recognize. But Israel
Hi Friend, There’s a new book on the market. There always is but this one is a reexamination of the traditional teaching of “going to heaven” when you die. A former Anglican Bishop who now teaches at Scotland’s University of St. Andrews says, “The Bible doesn’t teach what churches say
God promised, in the Old Testament, to grant anyone who wants it a new heart, a heart that willing conforms to God’s ways, a heart like God’s heart. In this presentation, A New Heart, we see that the Holy Days of God also predict this mass change in humanity. “Come
