Luke32 The Depth of God's Love for You God Wants to Give You a Satisfying Life "A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of" (John 10:10). Some people fear worshiping God because they wrongly think that means they have to become judgmental and legalistic. Nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus came to give us a rich and sat.. 2009. 6. 28. Fathers: Help Your Children Know God Fathers: Help Your Children Know God "I showed what You are like to those You gave Me from the world. They belonged to You, and You gave them to Me" (John 17:6). The world is full of sons and daughters who desperately need a father who is a spiritual leader. Is it possible your kids are among them? You can become a spiritual leader to your children by developing the characteristics that we see .. 2009. 6. 22. We Serve God by Serving Others We Serve God by Serving Others "Whoever wants to be great must become a servant" (Mark 10:43). We serve God by serving others. The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige, and position. If you can demand service from others, you've arrived. In our self-serving culture with its "me first" mentality, acting like a servant is not a popular concept. Jesus, however, measured.. 2009. 6. 20. Love Is A Choice Love Is a Choice "...That you may love the Lord your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him. For the Lord is your life, and He will give you many years in the land He swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" (Deuteronomy 30:20). Love is a choice and a commitment. You choose to love or you choose not to love. Today we've bought into this myth that love is uncontrollable, .. 2009. 5. 16. Every Nation: Don't Trade Your Life for Temporary Things Every Nation: Shift from "Me-First" to "God-First" "Jesus said to his followers, 'Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone'" (Mark 16:15). People with "me-first" faith ask, "How can God make my life more comfortable?" They want to use God for their purposes instead of being used for His purposes. "God-first" believers know they've been saved to serve and made for mission. .. 2009. 5. 2. The Barrier of Pride The Barrier of Pride It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. 2 Corinthians 3:5 Life is a struggle, but what most people don’t realize is that our struggle, like Jacob’s in Genesis 32:22-32, is really with God! We want to be God, and there’s no way we’re going to win that struggle, but we try anyway. A.W. Tozer said, “The re.. 2009. 3. 29. Jesus and Tolerance Jesus and Tolerance Someone has said, “Wise are those who look at others with the same generosity they offer themselves, and at themselves with the same critical eye they have for others.” Such advice is difficult to disagree with because it amounts to treating others the way we’d want to be treated. The “golden rule” is hard to deny, but that doesn’t make it easy to do. For instanc.. 2009. 1. 31. Christmas: God’s Grace at Work Christmas: God’s Grace at Work by Rick Warren God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. Ephesians 2:8-9 God says, “I will give you my grace.” What is grace? That’s when God gives you what you need, not what you deserve. Grace is w.. 2008. 12. 22. Children and Disciples Mart De Haan Been Thinking About... Children and Disciples Like clockwork, each new generation rides a pendulum of reaction to “the sins of the fathers.” As grateful as we may be for the good we have inherited, we are apt to “overcorrect” what we see as the failures of our parents. Seems to me that this is happening in the way an emerging generation looks at spiritual salvation and grow.. 2008. 12. 15. Christmas - Celebration! Christmas: Celebration! by Rick Warren “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Luke 2:10 This may come as a shock to you, but God really likes parties. God is into parties; God likes to party; God is constantly throwing parties. In fact, the Bible says that God’s angels throw a party every time a single person trusts Jesus as the Lord and Savior of his or her.. 2008. 12. 15. Who Loves You? We Love Because God Loves Us by Rick Warren We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19 The reason God wants us to love is because he is love, and he created us to be like him – to love. The only reason we’re able to love is because God loves us: “Love comes from God … because God is love” (1 John 4:7-8). We were created in God’s image to do two things on earth: Learn to love God.. 2008. 11. 28. Thanks For Being You! I LOVE YOU!! I believe in prayer. It's the best way to draw strength from heaven. CIRCLE OF FRIENDS I thank you for being you! HANDY LITTLE CHART - GOD HAS A POSITIVE ANSWER: YOU SAY GOD SAYS BIBLE VERSES You say: 'It's impossible' God says: All things are possible (Luke 18:27) You say: 'I'm too tired' God says: I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30) You say: 'Nobody really loves me' God says:.. 2008. 10. 16. 이전 1 2 3 다음
