If you are meddling in someone else's affairs, they might tell you to mind your own business. But sadly, Christians often pay far too much time and attention to our own business rather than our Father's business. Once, when Jesus was a boy, Joseph and Mary searched for Him throughout Jerusalem for three days. When they finally found Him in the Temple discussing the things of God with religious teachers, He said, "Did you not know that I must be about my Father's business"? Do you share a similar passion to be about your Father's business? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/581/29?v=20251111

When we talk about freedom, most people have in mind the ability to do anything they want, and if there are restrictions in any area, then they're not really free. God's view of freedom on the other hand is something quite different. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he explains the biblical concept that true freedom is the fulfilling of the destiny to which God has called us.

Believers often sing this well known hymn, "Blessed be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above." Indeed, the fellowship that exists between true believers must reflect the love and communion that exists between God the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ. Dr. Barnhouse asks the question, "Does genuine love for your brothers and sisters in Christ flow from your heart and shine forth in your life?"

“I'm better than you are!” “No your not!” Kids are always arguing over who is better. And if you're honest with yourself so are adults. Jesus' disciples often argued about who was the greatest.

In football, an elusive running back can make the other team's defense look foolish as he constantly slips from their grasp. The defense must pursue the runner, lay a hold of him, and tenaciously hold fast until they tackle him. In the Christian life, genuine goodness can be very elusive and difficult to maintain. We must learn to continually reject sin and evil and cling tenaciously to what is good in order to grow in our relationship with the Lord.

As human beings, and as Americans, we have certain inalienable rights and at times it might be appropriate as citizens to exercise those rights.

The Bible declares that God is love and stresses the preeminence of love in the Christian life. Love is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and an indispensable virtue in the life of every believer. But do you realize that hatred is just as much an attribute of God and just as much a Christian virtue as love is. God's perfect character demands a holy hatred of every manifestation of sin and evil. And if we are to reflect the character of our Lord Jesus Christ, we must hate that which is evil and which stands opposed to His holiness and righteousness.

Spiritual gifts include generous, joyful giving as well as the ability to speak the right words in the right situations.

Alexander the Great was so named because of his extraordinary military and political leadership as he conquered and dominated much of the known world. Even today we tend to associate greatness with power, wealth, influence, and worldly success. But Jesus points us to a much different path to greatness in the spiritual life and in church leadership. Effective church leaders must lay aside personal ambition, self-serving agendas, and the desire to rule over others and serve others in love, humility, and complete reliance upon the grace of God.
