THE STEWARDSHIP OF LIFE
Reprinted in 2009: We are looking at what the Bible teaches us about stewardship. I believe this is an area in which all believers should have clear understanding. Stewardship is found in the very beginnings of God’s revelation to us. The beginnings (Genesis) of the Bible contain SEED FORMS of life and revelation that grow and blossom in the rest of redemptive history. To know our roots and our heritage in God does significant things for us. First, it brings stability. That is, we know where we came from. Second, it brings clarity to the present and the future--where are we now and where are we going? In Genesis 1:27-28, we have a precise word on stewardship.

The Spiritual Laws of Body Life
Reprinted in 2008: In this series I want to share with everyone a number of
themes that relate to healthy church life. The church is referred to by the Apostle Paul as the “Body of Christ,” so I have used the word “body” for the church. For a physical body to work well

In this text we have nine fruits listed which flow out of the Holy Spirit. Before we get into our study of the first one, there are some things to say about fruit... Click below to read more...

The Sign of the Believer: LOVE
Reprinted 2008: “All men will know that you are my disciples
if you love one another” -John 13:35
This new study will be one dedicated to the fruit of the spirit called “Love.” We will be breaking this word down in its various meanings as the Apostle Paul does in 1 Corinthians 13. But first we want to look at it from a couple of different angles. And this first one is that love is a sign of a person who is a believer in Jesus...

SEXUAL LIFE FOR DISCIPLES OF CHRIST
2-25-2009: Sex is a very hot topic in society today. But the problem is that the culture we live in has gotten its way over the Biblical way and little by little even the believers are confused. Before we were followers of Jesus and His way, we had no knowledge of morality as God views it. So we acted out of impulse in the sexual area just as we did for any other fleshly appetite....
