Motives of Heart 6/25/2005
What MOTIVES rest in your heart? What pure MOTIVE did God
have in sending Jesus? What MOTIVE did Jesus have as He spoke
with the woman at the well? What MOTIVE did Jesus have when
He chose not to defend Himself, or save Himself from the
cross? He cried, He bled, He died for me. My motives can deceive
me, my heart can be wretched, my soul tormented, my dreams
selfish, but His MOTIVE is ...

Live Your Life! 5/28/2005
When I was 17, I read a biography on the late actor Marlon
Brando. While struggling to make a name in the theatre early
in his career, his friends recalled a quote he kept on his
wall: "You ain't living if you don't know
it!"
<br>
Going through the posts of some of the other members who
feel ill-at-ease because their single status, that quote
seems so relevent.

because we are not strong enough to do more in serving our

can become disheartened if we see little to no response

The Importance Of Love 3/31/2005
I think one of the most important things in life to do is to
have a love walk. I have been listening to Creflo Dollar
on this subject and it has been so inspiring. It has brought
much of the subject concerning love to my attention. You
love God, of course, but Jesus commanded us to love our neighbors
too. Sometimes it is so hard to do. People can push us to limits

Helping Others That Jesus Taught 3/23/2005
Jesus always stopped what He was doing to help those in need.
He was constantly thronged by people, but He always found
time to stop what He was doing at the moment. This is hard
for us to do because we are so busy, but it is a lesson we must
learn if we are really going to show people we care about
them.
Jesus always acknowledged the person he was helping. He

because he knows that if he doesn't, you will take that
promise and beat his brains out with it...

Response to "can Christians be gay" 1/23/2005
I have seen so many Christians ask this question, but is
it the right question? Is perhaps a better question, Can
a person still be saved and sanctified when there is one
huge part of his/her life that he/she doesn't give
to God. Just because we all fall short doesnt' mean
that sin is ok and it certainly doesn't mean that we
become complacent and decide that God is not big enough
