    Envy Is Not Pretty Series

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Feb 9, 2005
    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,436 views

    Envy is an emotion that refuses to recognize the goodness of God. Envy is telling God that God could have done a better job with us.

If you look through my CD collection, you will find Contemporary Christian, Country, Classic Rock, Opera, Broadway Show Tunes, and Classical.

    Jonathan’s friendship with David has always been the model of the ideal friendship for Christians. But there is an even deeper application to this description of the love Jonathan had for David. Do you know what it is?

    The Unlimited Love Of God

     | 27,258 views

    God’s Love is unlimited toward all people, but do we still have his blessings and his favor? God loves the sinner but we are required to serve him before we can truly experience his great love.

    THE UNLIMITED LOVE OF GOD By Pastor Jim May Scriptures used: Romans 5:8, James 1:17-18, 1 Samuel 9:2, and the primary source, 1 Samuel 12:19-25 If there is one thing that defines how God feels toward humanity, it’s His unlimited love.

    "Contract Or Covenant?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 30, 2004
    based on 19 ratings
     | 4,908 views

    Most people live in a "Contract World," and not in a "Covenant World." Contracts are written with the idea of failure in mind. That is, "What if things do not work out?" A covenant comes with the word, "Everlasting."

    "Contract or Covenant?” Jonathan and David, best friends. Jonathan needed a friend... I have often wondered why Jonathan himself did not take on the giant Goliath? He displayed the right kind of faith and courage needed for the mission in 1 Samuel 14 when he and his armour bearer took on the ...read more

    Why is it such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter? Isn’t it the same thing? Why does it please a woman to say time stands still when you look into her face, but not to say her face would stop a clock? Why do ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 8,205 views

    I ask the question, what motivates you as a Christian? What makes you do the things you do? I then make a contrast between David and Saul and ask, what motivated David to weep for a man who wanted to kill him, and what motivated Saul to pursue David.
