    People of this world are shrewd in their secular dealings, and Christians can likewise be shrewd in their spiritual development, not at the expense of virtue but in pursuit of it.

    Yesterday morning, I went outside to cut the grass. I put on my jeans and a ratty old aloha shirt. I put on my yard work shoes, my hat and sunglasses, and my big yellow ear muffs. I climbed up on the tractor, pulled out of the garage. BOY, it was a beautiful day. I ride down to the end of the ...read more

     | 980 views

    Few acknowledge how important SPIRITUAL GROWTH can be to the family and the church. We tend to accept the spirit of sameness and never focus on growing spiritually.

    What makes feet beautiful is when they become leathery, dusty, gnarled in taking the Gospel across the street… across the fence post… we must go across our community… across the country… and across the continents.

    Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis (July 1, 1818 – August 13, 1865) was a Hungarian physician now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. He is known as the savior of the mothers. His story was portrayed in a 1938 movie, That Mothers Might Live, that won an Academy Award. Philip was born into a ...read more

    Developing A Life Of Prayer

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Sep 22, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,447 views

    Prayer is at the very core of spiritual life. Despite how many people speak of praying as a part of their lives… I believe that a life that lives out of a center of prayer is challenging for most of us.

    Fires and earthquakes may serve to get our attention, taking our focus off the temporary things of this world… but the voice that we ultimately long for comes in quiet places. So it shouldn’t surprise us what we find the disciples of Jesus coming to him about in Matthew 6. They might have asked ...read more

    Spiritual understanding is not produced solely by learning facts or procedures, but rather it depends on love for God & obedience to known truth. Obedience to God’s known will develops discernment between falsehood & truth.

    JOHN 7: 19-24 DEVELOPING PROPER JUDGMENT [John 5:1-15 / 39 – 47] Jesus has just explained that if their lives are in harmony with God, they will recognize the character and source of His teaching. [Similarly, in John 5:42-47, Jesus said that if they had the love of ...read more

    Service is central to Spiritual development and growth of the Church. A look at Jesus and the early Church supplies a great example of the process for building workers.

    There are 3 types of intimacy in marriage, kind of like a three legged stool. Sometimes we try to make it by on one or two of these but you can’t stay balanced in life and marriage without all three. This sermon deals with spiritual intimacy
