1/14/2024 PMForgiven, Restored, Promoted
Peter was a loved apostle of Jesus, though emotional and impetuous at times. Jesus let Satan sift him during His trial, but He had prayed for his recovery after denying Him. Crushed with guilt and grief, Jesus forgave Peter and gave him tokens of forgiveness and then also restored and promoted him.
5/21/2023 PMTwelve Facts for Christians (4)
Safety in life brings everything back to the Bible - all thoughts, ideas, choices, plans, events, etc. It should be taught daily to children. Your ideas can never be better. Period. Success in life before God and men is by fruit, not results, feelings, or words. Fruit is identified in the Bible. Abound in it.
5/21/2023 AMTwelve Facts for Christians (3)
The sin Adam chose in Eden and we choose daily pervades all parts of life, and it should be identified to avoid misjudging things, persons, relationships. God is greater than man and can do what He wants with your life, like He did Job. We should never blame, complain, or even question Him. He is God.
5/14/2023 PMTwelve Facts for Christians (2)
With the golden parachute of guaranteed eternal life, we can manage and profit by the trials and tribulations of uncertain life in this world.

4/16/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (16)
Music is the powerful language of the soul. David played the harp to heal Saul's devil-afflicted soul. You do not have the right to any music. You must glorify God and use music that will lift your spirit toward heaven. Measure all music by its fruit in producers, performers, listeners, and churches using it.
4/16/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (15)
Recall seven reasons why God left us here. Average Christian is not VCL; most churches are not. How can you lose VCL? You can choose carnal, foolish, worldly friends. Or you can become too dependent on any relationship, so that you will compromise knowingly or not to keep the relationship.
2/26/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (8)
To be an overcomer, you must count the cost and give up things that compete with Christ. He taught the lesson to crowds that followed Him. You must walk in the Spirit for His power to resist temptations inside and out. Victorious living is the life of faith, so you must build your faith by preaching.
2/26/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (7)
To be an overcomer, you should look to the reward like Jesus did. You must guard your inputs vigilantly, you should be the most thankful person, you should pray for it, and you should look to the effect. Remember that your defeated Christian life or a joyful, winning one will affect all those around you.
2/19/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (6)
To be victorious you must believe that God forgives easily, quickly, and fully. Any ideas to the contrary are sinfully wrong and will defeat and discourage you. Look to Jesus as your example going before, see difficulties as opportunities like Job and Paul did, and get competitive to be the best in God's sight.
2/19/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (5)
A victorious Christian life is confident living, kingdom building, and intentional living. It is necessary to view each night and day, in that order, with the clear goal to obey Christ fully. Your greatest enemy is yourself, and you must force all feelings to follow faith, no matter how powerful they may seem to be.
2/12/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (4)
A victorious Christian is a growing one with fruit rather than funks. One of our greatest enemies is bad thinking. Your thoughts are not helpful to serve God better. Too many of them are foolish and sinful. You must hate any funks and not try to excuse them by ruling your thoughts to choose godliness.
2/12/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (3)
Key facts to remember for victorious living are why God left us here with a sinful flesh in a sinful world. There are seven broad reasons He did so, and they are quite helpful to live intentional lives for God's glory and His approval and rewards. His reasons are also our goals for living right.
2/5/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (2)
Further identifying marks of a victorious Christian, who grows in grace, knowledge, service, and zeal in Christ's kingdom. They do not allow the sissy fits or funks of many today that are destroyed for hours or days at a time. They quickly repent and resume their duties with God's healing power.
7/19/2022 AMLove Not the World – Pyramid Slides
This simple graphic is a little tool to see all that is in the world we must not love. It is too easy to hate the bottom tier and forget our own lives at the top, which Jesus also said for us to hate.

10/17/2021 AMSoul Revival (5 sermons)

7/11/2021 PMCharacter without Christ (2) Slides
Character or conduct valued by men is not enough, even if Biblical. We must love Jesus the Son of God or we can expect His judgment like Israel received in 70 A.D. What can you do with your family to know and love Jesus most of all?
7/11/2021 AMCharacter without Christ (1) Slides

1/10/2021 AMWhat Do You Glory In?

1/10/2021 AMThe Most Influential Member
Your tongue is far more powerful than you think! Men rise and fall in the sight of Jehovah, by their careful and diligent management of it. Godly men know the Christian walk is successfully navigated by directing their speech, rather than their feet. Have you mastered this unruly evil?
10/25/2020 AMCleave Unto the Lord
Persecution drove the gospel north to Antioch of Syria. Barnabas came to see the Gentile converts and exhort them to cleave to Christ. He knew the threats to their zeal, which are similar to our own. Let us run to Christ and never let go.
