Devoted: A Study of Prayer, pt. 6 - Deliver Us From Evil 38:38

10d ago38:38

38:38

Temptation is a problem. It leads to sin and it separates us from God. The one who cannot be overcome should be petitioned for his protection. Repentance requires action. Sin has no place in our lives. We can’t claim to be buried with Christ, made alive in Christ - and remain shackled to our sins. Matthew 6:13 is a call for protection against our o…

Devoted: A Study of Prayer, pt. 5 - Debts and Debtors 33:22

17d ago33:22

33:22

Purposeful prayer includes repentance. Forgive us our sins, help us to forgive others, because while we are at odds with creation we can’t hope for petitions to be heard or granted. If we want God to hear and provide, we can’t make requests with sin-filled hearts. Asking God to help you forgive others is a recognition of our spiritual weakness. Ref…

Prayer doesn’t need to turn a phrase. Prayer needs only to be sincere. I…

Church: This is How We Do It pt. 5 - A Tamed Tongue 23:03

2M ago23:03

23:03

Whoever said “words could never hurt me” was a liar. The tongue can give life or it can take it away. Inside of the church, just because we can say something doesn’t mean we should, and how we say it matters. Know when to speak. Think about what you say. You can be right and wrong at the same time. Seek forgiveness. James 3:1-8, Proverbs 17:28, Psa…

Successful churches are characterized by servitude. They not only serve the Lord wholeheartedly, but they also serve their communities. Importantly, they also serve each other.

Imperfect Salvation, pt. 11 - When Christians Deny the Existence of God 32:13

3M ago32:13

32:13

What takes place at the end of Judges is horrible. But debauchery is all that exists when we leave God out of the equation. The greatest defense of the existence of God is the propensity to create idols for ourselves. We reach peace once - that god is the one true God. When we unplug from God, we turn to idol worship. When your gods are taken from …
