A Picture-Perfect Marriage

2012-01-26T14:45:00.000-08:00

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church (Ephesians 5:31,32) Here are links to a three part series on "A Picture-Perfect Marriage" by Tim Challies. It is very well written and quite thought provoking. How is your marriage? Part One Part

"The Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani is being pressured by the government of Iran to recant his Christian faith and accept Islam. If he does so they will spare his life and set him free.

Excuse Me, Mr. Moon Muffin; But Do You Know Who Gave That to You?

2011-11-15T19:16:00.000-08:00

Here is a great article I received in my email the other day, by Stacy McDonald at "The Common Scents Mom". It is about our health and how God provides what we need if we will only look what He has provided for us. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. (James 1:17) And God said, “

Biblical Headship-What is it?

2011-11-06T09:20:00.000-08:00

Please go to sermon audio and listen to this extremely important message by Dr. Voddie Baucham on Biblical headship. The church (for the most part) has left headship behind and taken on the "ways" of the world-egalitarianism. I encourage EVERYONE to listen with an open mind and an open heart to this message and see how God leads you and your family. If you listen to it, please come back and

A Single Mom Writes Letter About Youth Ministry

2011-09-26T06:41:00.000-07:00

"I am a single mother, home educating three children. We cannot base what we do as a church, or as an individual believer upon our own subjective experiences or circumstances. If the Lord has commanded a way to live, He will provide the means." Read the entire letter at NCFIC.

Before Their Going to Work

2011-09-10T09:38:00.000-07:00

by Charles Wesley LET us go forth, ’tis God commands; Let us make haste away; Offer to Christ our hearts and hands: We work for Christ to-day. When He vouchsafes our hands to use, It makes the labour sweet; If any now to work refuse, Let not the sluggard eat. Who would not do what God ordains, And promises to bless? Who would not ’scape the toil and pains Of sinful idleness? In vain to

"Justification, says Wesley, is a doctrine “relating to that great work which God does for us, in forgiving our sins,” while regeneration relates to “the great work which God does in us, in renewing our fallen nature.” Justification is for us, regeneration in us."

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Psalm 1: 1-2 "Sending our children to be discipled for 24,000 hours of their lives in academic temples of false gods is inconsistent with what the Bible says

"Selfish ungodly persons everywhere enter into all kinds of relationships with a desire of serving their ownselves, and gratifying their own flesh without knowing or caring what is required of them. Their desire is for the honour, profit, or pleasure their relationship will provide them but not for what God and man requires or expects from them. [Gen 2:18, Prov 18:22] Their mind is concerned

(thank you to Enola Gay at Paratus Familia for making us aware of this) No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.Samual AdamsLiberty Alert Reader
