What comes out of our lives is a window into what is in our lives.  A Christian’s outward action is a result of what God has done inside them.

For to me, to live is ________. What word or phrase goes in the blank for you? Everyone fills in the blank with something. No one leaves it blank. If you don’t fill in the blank with Christ, then what do you put there?

Words are bullets you can’t get back. Once you pull the trigger the damage is done. A bullet is so easy to fire. It can do so much damage; therefore, we need to make certain that the safety is always on.

The Power of One: Unity

Some Christians still live like a pauper even though they have been blessed beyond measure. Although they have an abundance of spiritual riches, many of them go unused and unappreciated. One of the primary themes of the book of Ephesians is recognizing our riches in Christ.

We often think of freedom as the ability to do whatever we want to do. But that’s not actually what true freedom is. True freedom is the opportunity, ability, and the desire to do that which bring the deepest joy 10,000 years from now.

The Power of One: Father

Sunday evening, August 18, the Oldham Lane Church of Christ spent time singing praises to God and praying for our teachers, students, community, country, and the church.

Paul’s message to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 13:5-10 is a message that transcends time. Paul is telling these Christians that they must be willing to thoroughly examine themselves and confront the findings. If you don’t pass the test, make the necessary corrections. Because the last thing you want is to receive an “F” on Judgment Day.

We don’t know what’s best for us. Thankfully, God does. The challenge is accepting and living out God’s will even when it doesn’t seem to make sense.
