Suffering as a Christian

12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the

New ways

1 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. 3 For the

It is inevitable

It will happen to the best, and the worst. Life does not exist without it. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God,

Relationships

As men, many times we feel judged by our ability to be accepted. We are only okay if others think or indicate we are okay. That is actually a desire of our heart and soul. We seek love and approval, and in this world the opportunity to experience life with another person consumes us. It

A treasure of delight

Walking daily with the idea that we are Christians becomes a way we go about our day.  We awaken and go through our quiet time and praise God for the sunset, but there may just come those moments of question. How much loving him and praising him is enough? The internal chatterbox gets wound up

Opposing Familiarity

After last weeks discussion of context, we hope we don’t have to go into context of the context, but if you need a quick refresher, I would suggest brief yourself on last weeks message, title True Christianity. The summary is that Christianity is not just an addition to our worldly life. It turns everything upside

Painful pessimism doubtful

Thomas, a man often labeled as “doubting”, but are we really sure that is an appropriate label for this fella? He just may have been a better man than the legend makes it out to be. It probably is fair, however, to say that Thomas was a somewhat negative person. He was a worrywart. He
