It appears that making a promise is extremely important to God.  Why do you think God holds promises with such a high accountability?

Divorce has wounded so many lives, and yet we've grown so numb to its effects in our world today, so that for many there is a failure to see the deeper transgression as marriage is truly an act accomplished by God, and therefore can only truly be an act dissolved by God.

The topic of adultery for the Pharisees was cloaked in self-deception, and Jesus raises the veil to reveal that God's law was more than mere obedience to the letter, but must be understood through the spirit of the law.

Anger is such a deceptive emotion.  Many feel justified in their anger because there is much injustice in our world.  But where anger promises justice it only delivers bondage.

No one is perfect.  All of us struggle with a unique cocktail of flaws and failures.  The Apostle Peter is no exception to this rule, but his life shows the progress of a Christ-follower by examining his weaknesses and through that attention offers for us today helpful conclusions for our preparation in the Kingdom of God.

The Apostle Paul in his epistles set an example for us of a life devoted to service - service to Christ and to Christ’s kingdom.  Today we’ll discover how our hearts can turn towards Jesus.

How should we face suffering?  There are people in the Bible who have suffered in numerous ways and held on during it all because of their faith.  God gives us a picture of the faith-filled-follower in the crucible of suffering in the person of Job.

Although the words of the gospel message can be believed and understood, there is still something necessary at the heart of the message that can subtly become lost or changed.  Without Jesus as Lord, the gospel message falls apart and ultimately fails.  The entirety of counsel and encouragement from the New Testament writers is predicated on this single truth contained inside the gospel, namely: Jesus is Lord.

There is a tendency in our world today to sacrifice truth on the altar of tolerance or fear of offending.  Our world of victimization has (as illustrated by C.S. Lewis) pared the claws of the Lion of Judah to make Him a simple and illusive house cat.

The proclamation of the gospel today is often non-existent in the face of contemporary values.  The exclusive claims of Christ are offensive in our world of tolerance.  But as has been said, "facts don't care about your feelings."
