July 4, 2008
Ever wonder if your coming to faith in Christ was an accident, or a coincidence, or just maybe just a good choice on your part? Not a chance. "Salvation is of the Lord," the Bible says, and that includes the circumstances of your conversion. In Acts chapter eight God went to unusual lengths to get the gospel to a needy Ethiopian.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

In our culture, reaching the top often means clawing your way past other people, doing whatever it takes to succeed. Things are very different in God's kingdom. As Jesus said, "The first shall be last, and the last shall be first." In the early church, leadership was demonstrated by servanthood. Today, lessons from the book of Acts on how to get ahead, God's way.

As we all know, money and politics are closely related. People who support winning candidates expect something in return. Sadly, the same can be true in churches. Heavy contributors are often the heavy decision-makers. This may have played a part in the motivations of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter five...a story of God purifying the motives of givers in the early church.

They'll smile on the outside while crying on the inside. Their lives an act for the benefit of others. Good news: we can lose the game face, because in the final analysis, God is in charge of our reputations. To learn more, stay with us.

The love of money is the root of all evil...yet in this world we cannot function without money. So, what's a Christian to do?

The rights of believers to exercise their religion in America are being slowly destroyed. Clearly, persecution is coming. What do we do when faced with tough choices, choices to obey God or man?

How often we've wished we could retract words we've spoken in haste or in anger, words that have wounded those around us. While some argue about speaking in tongues, there's one gift of tongues all believers should have....the gift of a tongue controlled by the Holy Spirit, a tongue that always edifies and never tears down.
