Be of one mind!

Husbands love your wives...so your prayers won't be hindered.

We are asked to submit to people & authority that are, in many cases, unworthy of this respect. We did this to bring God glory.

Our honorable behavior gives glory to God. It is okay to honor dishonorable people.

Remember who you are.

A Call to Holy Living

The Hope of Eternal Life

1 Peter 1:1,2 Do we realize who we really are? We are God's chosen people!

Is there ever a time when it is appropriate start thinking about yourself? Is there ever a point in life when we can stop thinking of others and focus on me? Do what I need to do to take care of myself? Is there a point when life is just not fair, when we are not getting justice, not getting what I deserve that we can stand up for ourselves, think about what MY rights are and ignore the needs of o...

How is it possible that an innocent man, much less a perfect man, could be sentenced to death by a legitimate government institution? Is this simply an example of man's hostility to God, or is there something more to it? We know that Jesus died and that His death brings us salvation, but does it matter how we think about Jesus' death, or does it only matter that He died? As Jesus draws nearer and...

Peter’s failure as a friend and follower of Jesus by denying Jesus at the very moment Jesus was about to lay down His life for His friends, is one of the most painful moments in the Gospels. Peter's denial was a rejection of Jesus as Lord, and a serious betrayal of His friendship - he did not prove to be a faithful friend. Peter caved in to the temptation of caring too much about what people thoug...

So what does it mean that the One who has the right to rule the Universe, The God of heaven and earth, would go to the cross for me? It means He must be Worshipped and Served! This eternal God and King who would go to the cross for us! He rose again and He reigns now! We who know Him - who believe all that He fulfilled as Prophet, and King - Should bow before Him, worship Him with all our heart an...

Enemies, opposition, and persecution can come from many sides. How are we to deal with enemies and opposition? Jesus shows us how to face the most deceptive and violent enemies, as He willingly turned Himself over to the hands of the betrayer, His enemies, and the power of darkness. It was God's will that Jesus go to the cross, but it happened by the hands of His enemies. In the midst of it all, J...

How are we to deal with the temptations that daily come into our life? Jesus, by both His command and by His example, shows that the way to overcome temptation is through serious battle in prayer. It is a battle that must be fought in advance, rather than waiting until temptation falls upon us. The secret is to prepare for temptation by coming to a firm resolve in prayer that we are fully committe...

We live in a world that is disinterested and even sometimes hostile to the Gospel. In the upper room, where Christ ate the last supper with his disciples, he warned that difficult times were coming. He told Peter that all of the disciples would be sifted, or tried, and that Peter would fall away and return. In fact, Peter would deny him three times before the day was to be finished. Jesus told the...

Is it a sin to want to be great, to fill roles as leaders, or to do great things? How is it that we desire and long for a life of significance, worth, and meaning and what do we do with these urges - are they simply the sinful desires of the flesh that must be put to death, or is it part of how God has made us? And, how then are we to think about ourselves - what is to form the basis of our identi...

Do this in remembrance of Me. What is it we are to "do" and what does it mean to "remember?" How does Jesus fulfill the Passover (and implied - all the OT stories and traditions), and how does His fulfilling the Old, bring changes and a new way of relating to God and celebrating His saving work? Jesus gives the true meaning to the Passover and the Exodus, which was God central redeeming work in th...

What Exactly does Paul have in mind when he encourages the believer to beat their body and making it their slave? And why should Christians be people who discipline their bodies - people who are diligent in practicing self-control? He urges us to develop the kind of self-control and self-discipline over our body and life, so that our whole being is obedient and surrendered to the work we require o...

What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the Nativity and in the life of Jesus? And, what does that tell us about the role of the Holy Spirit in our own life and walk with God? Throughout the Christmas story we see the Holy Spirit at work. He is never the star. but working with great power in the background to equip Jesus and others for effective ministry and working to point people to Jesus.

Why was it necessary for Jesus to become a man? The only way that Jesus could take our place in judgment was to take on human flesh, face all our temptations without giving into them, and take upon Himself the full fury of God's wrath toward sin through suffering and death.

What exactly is love, specifically God’s love? We are to love each other with this very same love - how is it possible for us to love others this way? Love seems to have all kinds of definitions and meanings in modern thought. John says that the only people who can love are those who know God (have been saved). So, Agape love that the Bible talks about is a very specific and narrowly defined kind...
