There are some things that you can control but there are just somethings that we can't control, so why worry about those things? In life we just need to be the best we can be, but biblically we need to remember to do and keep the commandments that we are given. John 21:21-23 talks about what other people might be doing is not a concern for us because we can't control others, only ourselves.

The Lord's Day is a day that we set aside for the church. And it's the day in which the church gathers to worship. We pray that all that we do and say is in accord with God's will when we worship God. I don't believe any of us would say that worship can be conducted or is to be conducted in the way in which we feel. In the religious world today a lot of people worship in a way that makes them feel good (or in other words, the way they feel is how they express themselves in worship). Or we could say this probably; that it's whatever they think to be appropriate in worship is to be acceptable to God. Whenever we consider worship we're not looking at pleasing ourselves but we should be looking at pleasing God. And our worship should be directed in exactly that way. You know, the Christian is set apart from the rest of the world. We are a chosen people and God has chosen us and He's set us apart from the rest of the world.
This is a Sermon Series on the the Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount presented by Dale Fender. While learning some about these attitudes that we are to exhibit, there is much that can be learned and applied today as Christians with references to Old Testament literature and what stands in the way of Christians with the worldly views that stand in opposition to these beatitudes.
Over the last year and more in the United States it seems there has been increased violence. Even in church locations. What should a Christian do? Do they respond to violence with violence? Do they prepare themselves in case violence should happen?
Asking a Christian whether or not they drink may return many different answers depending on what sort of "Christianity" they subscribe to. In this video we attempt to put an end to these varied responses and present what the Bible has been trying to tell everybody for years but some still seem to not understand. Did you know that according to Harvard approximately 50% of legal adults in the US drink regularly and 12% of adults drink to excess (or legally drunk)? Thankfully these numbers are lowering and have been lowering for some time now.
When was the last time the preacher at church "stepped on your toes"? When was the last time you felt personally attacked by the words of a messenger of God? The Word of God has been described as a sword and it should rightly divine the truth. And so this lesson is aimed both at the church-goer but also the teachers of God's Word, intends to motivate us to push ourselves to not be complacent, lazy or accommodating in our approach to presenting scripture.
Throughout time many have come up with their own stories and tales for what Christ's second coming will be like. But what about the morning after? What would it be like if Jesus had come yesterday? Where would you be today? What would have happened yesterday? And importantly, would you have wished you did anything differently if you had known Jesus was coming? These questions and more are discussed by Billy Dickinson.
There are many people in the world who are or claim to be religious. That means different things to different people though. What does it mean to be religious? Is there a wrong version of religious actions based on interpretation? What can we learn from the Bible on this subject? Cain and Abel, the first siblings, are told through Genesis 4, after the creation including their parents, Adam and Eve. Something should be said about the difference in their offerings though. They both brought an offering but one brother is mentioned in Hebrews 11, "the Honor Roll of Faith." Check out this lesson presented by Brett Hickey regarding what it means to be; Religious but Wrong.
This lesson goes into the relationship between parents and children. Raising the next generation is not an easy task and no man has all the answers. God offers us many scriptures to help us in this difficult and lengthy relationship.
Are you curious about what the church even is? Sometimes it can be difficult to define. Or it can be difficult to find a church that actually follows God's plan for His Church. George Battey covers this in his presentation defining the church as presented in scripture.
