NO ROOM FOR ENVY

Love does not envy. (1 Corinthians 13 v 4) The roots of envy, no pun intended go back to the garden. Eve wanted to be like God, she envied the almighty’s knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3 v 4-6) so she ate the fruit with Adam and life on this earth hasn’t been the […]

Stewardship – “Diverting Minds From The Truth”

“Every movement of this order, which comes in to excite the desire to get riches quickly by speculation, takes the minds of the people away from the most solemn truths that ever were given to mortals. There may be encouraging prospects for a time, but the end of the matter is failure. The Lord endorses […]

DO UNTO OTHERS

Love is Kind (1 Corinthians 13:4) She washed his car and even vacuumed it…. He emptied the dishwasher without being asked…. That favorite meal was just what he needed after a tough day at work…. That back rub made everything right with the world after a crazy day of cleaning, kids, and everyday chaos of home. Acts of […]

Stewardship – “Guard Against Mistakes on Both Sides”

“The question now before us is, Shall we try to secure the places that seem desirable in price and location, when we cannot tell where our money is coming from? Brethren —, —, and others are opposed to the increasing of debts. But I am not prepared to say that we should not, under any […]

LOVE IS PATIENT

Love suffers long (1 Corinthians 13 v 4) I love that movie! I love their Caesar salad! I love that color on you! I love fry dumplings, or some would say, fry bake! When we use the word “LOVE” and we tend to use it a lot! We are often talking about the good feeling […]

Stewardship – “Subordinate Every Earthly Interest”

“Every power of God’s servants is to be kept in continual exercise to bring many sons and daughters to God. In His service there is to be no indifference, no selfishness. Any departure from self-denial to self-indulgence, any relaxation of earnest supplication for the Holy Spirit’s working, means so much power given to the enemy. […]

Submission: God’s Way Part 3

Husbands love your wife just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. (Ephesians 5:25) Okay husbands, before it slips off your tongue, before it even crosses your mind, before you even remotely tempted to think for one second, my wife has to submit to me, please read the verse above. Now […]

Submission God’s way (Part 2)

Wives, submit to your husband as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. (Ephesians 5 v 22) Submit to my husband? No way Jose! That barbaric way of life has been dead since the sixties! That is often the response of countless […]

SUBMISSION- God’s way (Part 1)

Submit to one another out of reverence out of Christ. (Ephesians 5 v 21) Wait a minute……. If children are to submit to their parents, wives are to submit to their husbands, and workers are supposed to submit to their bosses, how could the apostle Paul tell everyone to submit to one another?” A misunderstanding […]

IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU

For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. (Philippians 1 v 21) So how long did the honeymoon last for you? Years, months or minutes? Sometimes what cuts short the honeymoon period of marriage is when one or both parties of the newlyweds come to the startling realization that marriage is not all […]
