James 4:8

Who do you see in the sunset's last light? God's presence comes to us in many ways during the course of an average day; but are we looking for presence and to we respond with humility?

Can you imagine what in the world these people had in mind? Dumb criminals remind us that we are all just a step away from moral calamity and disaster and must resist satan and draw near to God.

Have you seen the flash lately? God has a record of the things he has done through us in his family album.

Have you given resisting a try lately? Patrick Odum reminds us that overcoming temptation requires us to resist the devil, but he also adds some other insights from James' famous passage about overcoming temptation by being honest about oursleves and our need for God.

No one wants to be an expert, but we all must be alert! Rubel Shelly reminds us of the sly intentions of the evil one who would like to deceive us, but we can and do have the power to resist.

In an age that has lost any sense of sin, why worry about temptation? Brian McCutchen reminds us that dealing with temptation is not easy for the Christian and must be dealt with seriously.

Does such a transformation actually happen? Rubel Shelly uses the story of John Callender's failure and subsequent courage to remind us how to overcome the failure of our past.

Whose voice do you listen to? Satan is the Father of lies and tries to get us to believe his cruel and ugly lies.

What do we do with sinners? We must be tough on sin but offer mercy and forgiveness for those who are truly repentant.

Things are not always the same. You wake up in the morning, and things are changing every day. Paul Faulkner reminds us to greet each day as a gift of something fresh, new, and something that has never happened before or will again.

How do you extract a splinter from your soul? Just like a splinter can infect our body if left too long, sin infects our souls if we don't get it out. The old saying is true, "Confession is good for the soul."

Have you been trapped lately? Satan loves to trap us when we wander away from God's people.

The trouble with life is that it is so unpredictable. It just happens. I have the greatest remote control anywhere. It is amazing what it can do with my television. If I miss something, I can replay it until I catch it, and then jump back into real time.

Godliness means having the commitment and the spiritual discipline to live in ways that honor and reflect the character and compassion of God. Demetrius Collins & Phil Ware lead through worship in song, the Lord's Supper, a powerful message from God's word, and a closing blessing for worship from home with family and friends in a meaningful way - we are called to live godly lives, intentionally!
