Freedom

by: Grant Walker

John 8:31-32 KJV - 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

On April 19, 1775, a shot was fired that was heard around the world. It was the start of the American Revolutionary War. America was in it's infancy and was still under the Crown or Great Britain’s rule. The problem for the Americans was they were being taxed without representation. They called it tyranny.

Slam your arrow!

by: Wesley Wood

“And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.”
2 Kings 13:18 KJV

The next passage says that if he would have smote his arrows several more times, he would have had complete victory over anything that came against their nation! But since he stopped at three, he would only have partial victory.

You can have complete victory over anything that comes against you if you keep smiting your arrows on the ground (praying, fasting, reading the word). Often times, we see victory up ahead and we quit and say yes I made it, but we never reach our full potential! KEEP SMITING!

The apostle Paul was writing to the Corinthian Church, and in this scripture we read an admonition to the men. There are three parts to this text.

Weight Control

So we start a diet but soon we’re off track. It’s just one slice of cake. It won’t matter that much. Next week it’s a whole pie. My family will help me eat it. Wrong! Now you have more pounds to lose.
