I don't know how many times I have read Ecclesiastes but until I started teaching and having to prepare lessons from it I don't think I completely got it. It really is a positive book for believers and provides some great insight into talking the unsaved who are hurting.

Five Christian Goals: Living Like Christ (Action)
| Part 4 |
|
(Matthew 16:24) - Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. (NKJV; emphasis mine)
We are studying five primary goals of the Christian life, taking each goal in three steps of natural progression: knowledge (head), conviction (heart), and action (hands). All five goals are:
Living Like Christ
Proclaiming Christ
Serving Like Christ
Worshipping Christ
Fellowship in Christ
Okay, we've looked at how to gain the knowledge (head) we need to live like Christ, and how that knowledge becomes committed conviction in our life (heart). Let's finish goal number one today by going over some practical action steps (hands). | That's just the intro. Read entire devotional here

Pastor Oprah
|
| |
Oprah Winfrey has now put herself into the public arena of religion and has set herself up as an evangelist of the New Age. Therefore, it is time for Christians to stand against her, to quit supporting her in every way including watching her shows and reading her books, and to sternly warn and teach all other Christians about the false religion she now promotes. |

Head God, Heart God - Final Thoughts
- Part 3 |
| |
Our truest concept of God is only as good as the WORSE we think about Him. So it's very useful in my opinion to seriously consider these things. |
