Can A Christian Use Self Defense?

Life often involves disappointment and discouragement. This is not new to God's people; listen along and study as we get into the prophet Haggai's book, where he shows how God addresses these issues  so well.

I Am Always With You

As humans we often make plans. Sometimes we are better at it than other times, and for some people it is a real strength but for others a serious weakness. God is the original planner and has something in store for each of us, planned from since before time. How do our plans align with God's? How is your life? How is your level of peace?

Our Plans, God’s Purpose

God has always wanted His people's hearts, from the beginning. In one scripture He tells us to "rend" or tear our hearts. Even if this is figurative, we know we can't live without a heart...so what does He want? Listen and learn along with us from God's holy word!

Rend Your Hearts

Do we act more like God, or more like people? Obviously we can only imitate God to a degree, but even considering that....this is what it really boils down to, who are we acting like?

The Righteousness of The Kingdom vs The Righteousness of Men

Complaining can be habit forming and is contagious. People are pretty good at it and have been complaining against God since Adam and Eve walked in the Garden of Eden.  Would it surprise you that complaining or grumbling can rise to the level of sinning against God? Listen as we explore both and old and new testament passages on this important subject, and how to make our lives more peaceful as well.

The Art of Complaining

For many Christians, living righteously is not really a question of proper intent; everyone wants to do the right thing. The difficulty of course is not just saying we want to be faithful servants of God, but actually following through with thoughts and behavior approved of by God. This problem reared it's head in a particular scene at the end of Jesus' human life on earth, and we can learn much from it to help us to be proper servants of Christ today.

The Spirit Is Willing But The Flesh Is Weak

There are so many churches out there today, how do you know what a faithful one is? Is it pretty much just choose the one you like, or is there some other thinking we should use to choose a church family? What does Christ think about faithful churches, and how do we become and stay one? Listen and learn together with us!

How To Be A Faithful Church

Many people think they know what God wants of us...but how do we actually know? Is it a religious experience we need to have? Can you truly know or is it a guessing game you just need to try really hard at?
