    Paul urges us to live a joyful life in Christ. We are to (1) choose to rejoice in Christ, (2) let go of our worries through prayer, and (3) think and meditate on God’s truths.

CHOOSE to Rejoice Always Paul says we can choose to rejoice - it is a choice. • We are not victim of the circumstance • If we believe God, then He is our Guide, not fate, not some kind of force. Paul says we ...read more

    A call for believers to take seroiously the manner of thoughts that they accomodate in thier hearts and recognise that it is an area that must be handled as a warfare if victory is to be attained.

    Topic: War of Thoughts God is resolutely committed to having those of us who are born of His Spirit operate from the position of power, the realm of dominion where everything Jesus has accomplished will be translated into the physical reality by our presence. We are the “little christs” left behind ...read more

    Jesus’ parable of the dishonest but shrewd steward shows us that what people want is something real, not just nice thoughts; and that the use of God’s money is our finest responsibility.

    My brother-in-law has a unique ability, a very special talent. He has the ability to go into a men’s clothing store, size up all the merchandise available, and cane out with the very worst, the most atrocious looking stuff that money can buy. What is worse, he does that when he is shopping for me. ...read more

    Joy Is Restored Series

    Sorrow is but for a time. The power of prayer, memories of God’s past healing and His loving-kindness sustain Israel. God heals the pain of the present in the same manner as He has healed the pain of the past.

    Joy is the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying: it is keen pleasure, or elation. Joy is more elusive, subtle, and nuanced than happiness. We can manipulate circumstances to our own advantage to obtain what we think will bring happiness, or ...read more

    Idol Thoughts

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 23, 2015
     | 3,125 views

    Let us determine to know God and to worship him, not as some idol devised by our own natural preferences, not as many people configure him to be, but as “the book of nature” and the Holy Book together reveal him to be.

    The two passages before us today [Acts 17:22-31 and John 14:15-21] could not be more different from one another. And yet, in some ways, they could not be more similar. In the first one, the one from Acts, we have the Apostle Paul speaking to a group of Gentile skeptics who know nothing of the ...read more
