The Psychology At Stephen's Martyr It is popular in Christian conversations to discuss being "uncomfortable," or "living against the culture," but what does this really look like?

Holiness: The Antidote to Chaos The fire of Pentecost brings good news, for the lost children of Eden can once again be sufficient to stand with God. When the Holy Spirit comes to us in its fullness, we can live with clear minds who stand firm in truth and holiness. Let us not be confused: holiness is a beautiful thing, and it is the antidote to the evil which infects and mangles every aspect of life. The Holy Spirit came that we might not be passive, but that we might stand firm in contending for the Gospel of Christ Jesus, for Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and there is no other path to goodness and truth except through Him. #Pastor #Nazarene #Christian

The Moats of Chaos Of one thing I am now certain: that it is not enough for the devil to encourage and enjoy evil, but the deceiver is also in the business of building moats. The accuser hates all that is good and true, and does not want people to escape from the deep miry clay; therefore, the darkness of hell takes pleasure in constructing bottomless bogs. Wherein we might imagine a medieval castle fortified by a moat to dissuade intruders, we often find that moats surround the good things of God, making their reach difficult. Such moats are not necessarily sinful, but are elaborate blockades which hinder people from living with joy and righteousness. #BibleStudy #Sermon #Marraige #Christian #Nazarene

Real Holiness Is Not an Act Mark 12:38-44 offers us two distinct images of how people try to grasp the Kingdom of God: there are the scribes who seek attention but have no real goodness in their hearts, yet a humble widow is faithfully running her race well. The harder one tries to grip the Kingdom of God with greedy and untrue fingers, the more they will find it slipping away; but those who come to God in honest supplication will find a greater freedom than the world could ever offer. #Bible #Sermon #Gospe #Freedom #Revival #Nazarene
Dangerous Power of Holiness To truly appreciate the love of God and the holiness to which we are called, then we must understand the dangerous and compelling nature of God. The heavenly throne above all worlds is not safe, but the power of God desires that we find repentance rather than destruction. #Gospel #Sermon #Christian #BibleStudy

The Light of Life Scripture teaches us a great many things by weaving together various images and comparisons. As we study Mark 9:1-29, we are going to examine three principal scenes: a message from Jesus, the transfiguration, and the healing of a demonic possession. The first scene will offer us a thread that we will use to pull together our successive two scenes, all with the goal of learning how the Kingdom of God radiates light in opposition to death.

Teaching Our Children Godly Virtue Jesus does not want his children beholden to the uncertainty of the world, but clearly seeing the world around them and able to live in its goodness.

No one comes to the Father except through me.” #Christian #Faith #BibleStudy #Truth #Virtue #Gospel #Revival
