We appreciate grace more when we truly know sin is an outrageously big deal that prohibits us from fellowship with God.

The deceitfulness of the sinful human heart, makes sinner excuse their sin rather than repent from it.

Despite what the world might claim, sin is a big deal.

"Not Under Law, But Under Grace" so what do we do with it?

Romans 6 seems to good to be true, what do we do.

God's law shows how glorious God's grace really is!

The forgotten story of how pride destroyed Gideon and the people around him.

The temptation of popularity.

Proverbs 18:12 "Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility."

Your mouth sets the course of your life.

The difference between secular Positive Mental Attitude and faith.

All humanity was lost and Jesus searches for each soul.

Luke 19:10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Jesus came to accomplish the first item on His to-do list: Save the lost.

Christ’s First Item on His “To-do” List.

Seeking and saving the lost doesn't mean to agree with their lies.

Restore to me the joy of Your Salvation. (Ps 51:12a)

We are "co-laborers with Christ" "to seek and to save that which is lost."

Though we seek to save the lost, we have to disagree with their worldview.

Rooting out the insecurity you still have since you came to Jesus.

Deep and heavy material everybody needs to hear.

Michael W. Smith "You're Alright" from The Big Picture.

Jesus is still seeking you.

There is such a joy when something or someone lost is found.
