Christians are not to resist evil people but to love them, while the government is given a ministry to deal with them for our protection and benefit - if only they would!

Evil comes in many forms - but we are supposed to focus on what is good (Hebrews 12:2) so that He who alone is good can perfect our faith. Avoid all counterfeits..

Our faith is a beacon that the Spirit of God uses to send His light into a darkened world to guide lost souls into His presence. A lesson in prayer and praise.

The Lord continues His work in our lives - changing us right up until the time we come face to face with Jesus, and seeing Him, become just like Him. The tool He uses is His Word...

While the letter kills, the Spirit brings life - and ALL scripture, as Paul writes Timothy, is God-breathed and profitable. Learning to appraise the Law and the Prophets spiritually will bless you abundantly

This first of the Beatitudes is what establishes the Lordship of Jesus Christ in our hearts, preparing us for the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount

Jesus has left the building! (Oops - the world) But his light still shines, reflected off not shiny, polished mirrors, but beat up, bumpy old humans

Life is a bumpy road, but the Lord can smooth the ride out for you. There is a spiritual shock absorber, and His name is Jesus Christ!

The mercy and forgiveness of the Lord is great when you receive it. Maybe even greater still when you give it. A powerful way to deal with those who do you wrong!

No Jesus - No Peace. It is only the Prince of Peace who can bring any peace on earth - just as the angels sang when He was born.

We have to be careful that we don't become comfortable with - and tolerant - of sin in our lives. Otherwise we can get blessed with great discomfort.

A genie - I don't think so! It's not about getting things I want, it's about fulfilling my passionate desire.

You have your choice of weak or strong... but be careful what you choose because looks can be deceiving! If you don't believe me, ask Delilah or the Philistines.

This sums up what the Sermon on the Mount is all about — and you definitely should NOT watch this unless you are prepared to be radical!

Thankfully, Jesus knows the difference between sympathy and comfort. He is great at one and avoids the other. If we follow His teaching, so should we.

I died. Not only was it not so bad, it was actually pretty wonderful! So now I will do more than mourn the death of others, I will do all I can to see them raised from the dead. That's pretty exciting.

The Word says that we can come, buy and eat without cost. Salvation, which cost Jesus Christ, is the Father's free gift to us. So why are so many 'ministers' buying and selling the blessings of God?

One of the worst forms of persecution in the Church today is irrelevance! People just ignore Jesus Christ in daily life - having been taught that He is not important. That is also more dangerous to the faith than the spilled blood of the martyrs.

It's about the power of the Body of Christ to make a difference in an ever darker world - to shine the light of the Holy Spirit and watch the cockroaches scatter.

It's not about how you feel, it's about the choices that you make. Jesus came that you might have joy - even in tough times!

An account of the problem, the promise, the prophesy, and the solution. From the beginning to the end - the Lord has it covered!

It is a reason for hope when there is not a single reason for hope on this little old planet. It is a reason for peace in my heart in a world full of turmoil. Get this now!

You can see a thing and not understand it, and when you understand it - that's only the beginning. There is more and more understanding to be had...

Christians are called to love those who are completely unlovable - not even likeable. Beyond tough, it's impossible without the love of God filling us. They will know that we are Christians by our love!

Wherever you are in your walk with the Lord, as good as you may be doing, halleluiah, we can all still press on to a higher place where we 'excel still more'

Put on the breastplate of righteousness - of faith and love - so you can stand fast against the schemes of the devil. Just do the math!

When you proclaim the Word you are attacking the 'world' - stepping on the serpent. When you do that he will strike out at you ... and you will find the victory that is in Christ Jesus.

Leonardo da Vinci had his masterpiece - which will become dust and ashes. The Lord God has His masterpiece - you - destined for glory and perfection.

A right relationship with the Lord God makes possible a right relationship with other people. Without the first the second is more than just tough - it borders on impossible.

The Lord wants to change you, taking you on that upward journey, to get to that place where you look more and more like Jesus.

It's not about what you do, but why you do it. "And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing"
