You Are Not Under Law, but Under Grace

You Are Not Under Law, but Under Grace

What did the Apostle Paul mean when he wrote that a believer is 'Not under the law, but under grace?'

Did he mean that a believer was at liberty to sin and break God's law? Obviously not; because elsewhere in his letters Paul advises believers to obey the law.

What, then, did Paul mean? The answer is: he meant 'that a sinner who repents is no longer under the curse and death penalty of the law; but… Continue

WILL YOU QUALIFY TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE FROM THE ECONOMIC STIMULUS PLAN?

Everyone has an opinion and I’ve learned that if you listen to people at ground level, you will receive practical solutions that work! With that being said, I have heard almost every “suggested” Economic Stimulus plan from folks of all walks of life. I’ve listened to Accountants, Lawyers, Investment Advisors and many other high profile professionals. However, I was most intrigued by the Bailout plans offered from school teachers, small grocery store owners and some very creative stay at home… Continue

Just A Quick Thought....

2 Timothy 1: 12

2 Timothy 1:12 " For this reason I also suffer these things;

nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and

am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him

until that Day."

Friends, this letter from Paul to Timothy is so powerful. Look at

what Paul is saying. He was suffering persecution, torment, poverty,

and more, yet He was not ashamed of who he was in Christ. Why?? For

he KNEW the One he… Continue

Giving Vision to Sight

Matthew 8: 22-26, 22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man… Continue

What Do You Have In Your Jar? (Matthew 6:33)

What Do You Have In Your Jar? (Matthew 6:33)

A Professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him when the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf… Continue

What Do We Have To Offer? Proverbs 1:1-9 (For The Men)

What Do We Have To Offer? Proverbs 1:1-9

Have you ever wondered what our world is like right now? I have some questions that I want us as men to think about. What is the ratio of single parent homes to homes with both parents in the house? In those single parent homes, what is the ratio of single mothers to single fathers? Now, out of all the fathers (in a single parent home or both parents at home), how many of those fathers are saved? In the homes where there is a single parent… Continue

Why Do You Love?..

Why Do You Love?..

As a young man of 26 years, I've had a lot of memories, regrets, trials and triumphs that make me look back over my life and see that God is great. And when I was in my time machine I started to ponder over one main factor of my life…….love. Not just the as far as relationships go but also in regards to things I loved, people I loved, foods I loved and etc…and through that reflection I realized few key questions, (1) What/Who did I love?, (2) Why did I love those… Continue

Sexual Sin

Pornography is over an eighty billion dollar a year industry in America. Why? Sex is one of Satan’s greatest snares. (maybe the greatest) From Noah to Solomon, great men have fallen into the trap of sexual sin. The sin of adultery has contributed to more divorces than any other one. Adultery breaks the marriage covenant! Satan wants fathers out of the home at any cost. Satan knows the chances of children becoming a problem will increase when dad and mom split up. Satan also knows that if he can… Continue

Generation Curses and Demonic Influence

Ex 20:5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

Ex 34:7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.”

Nu 14:18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger,… Continue

Intercessory Prayer - What is it?

Intercessory prayer is prayer for others. An intercessor is one who takes the place of another or pleads another's case. One study Bible defines intercession as "holy, believing, persevering prayer whereby someone pleads with God on behalf of another or others who desperately need God's intervention."

Intercessory Prayer - The Biblical Foundation

The Biblical basis for the New Testament believer's ministry of intercessory prayer is our calling as priests unto God. The Word of God… Continue

Eternal Value

Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.

—John 6:27

In John 6, we see a huge crowd following Jesus in Capernaum. Why is this? Because Jesus had performed His most popular miracle ever: the feeding of the 5,000. Jesus had taken the little boy’s lunch and blessed it and multiplied it. And everyone was filled. They thought, This is great. Not only… Continue

Can You Shout a Victory Shout in the Midst of a Struggle?

Can You Shout a Victory Shout in the Midst of a Struggle? The Bible is a book that is full of people who were not ashamed to praise, magnify, and worship God at all times. The Bible is also full of people that were given to much expression in their renderings of praise to their God! There are not many in the Holy Writ that were given to deep contemplative thought. The Bible is full from cover to cover with people who were unabashed in their praise and worship of their God. Why would one see a… Continue
