    Holy living as the Bible says

    What does God Require of us? A man asked, “How much religion can a man have and still get into heaven?” In saying this, he was actually scheming to cheat both God and the devil.

    REMINDING BELIEVER WE ARE CALLED TO BE HOLY UNTO THE LORD. GOD EXPECTS EVERY BELIEVER TO SHOW FORTH THE GLORY OF GOD IN OUR WALK WITH HIM; IN PURITY OF HEART.

    Holiness is the very nature of God. It is impossible for God to sin. It is not about Him not willing to sin; but in His nature He can not sin. Prophet Habakkuk gives us an insight to the nature of the God of Heaven. In Habakkuk 1:13 "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on ...read more

    based on 27 ratings
     | 6,640 views

    In Hebrews 11:1-12:4, we learn that all God¡¦s children go through trying times in life. God uses those trying times to make us more like Jesus. This passage uses three different words to describe God¡¦s discipline in his children.

    THE FATHER¡¦S DISCIPLINE Hebrews 12:3-17 Why do persecution, testing, trial, sickness, pain, sorrow, and trouble come into the life of the believer? Are they a sign of God¡¦s anger or displeasure? Do they happen by chance? How should we react to them? Certainly some of our sufferings and ...read more

    based on 66 ratings
     | 11,878 views

    We don’t often dwell on the last chapter of Jonah - it’s a real downer. We last see Jonah still sulking over Nineveh’s salvation. What possible reason could God have for ending the book this way?

    OPEN: How many of you have heard the story of Jonah? (every hand went up) Now, how many of you believe Jonah was a righteous man? (most raised their hands) How many of you believe he wasn’t a righteous man? (a small show of hands) I personally believe Jonah was a righteous man. In fact, I believe ...read more

    The Apostle Peter to me is one of the great men of the Bible - not because he was so perfect and strong and patient and so much like the Lord - but because he was so imperfect and impetuous and impatient and so much like us!
