Desiring God, with John Piper - Desiring God - Week of 2/20 - Christian Devotional

Desiring God, with John Piper - Desiring God - Week of 2/20 - Christian Devotional: "A verse in Matthew is somewhat difficult to understand. It seems to dangle in the Sermon on the Mount with little connection to what goes before and after: "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!" (Matthew 6:22-23)."

Slaves of righteousness. | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

Slaves of righteousness. | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "It is said that when Abraham Lincoln told a young slave girl he had just purchased that he was setting her free, she asked, “To go anywhere I want to go?” Lincoln said, “Yes.” The girl replied, “Then I’m going with you!” Such is our attitude toward Christ. We were slaves of sin until we surrendered to Jesus Christ; now we are slaves of righteousness (see Rom. 6:19). With grateful hearts, we love our Master and delight to do His will."

Truth is not a text… | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

Truth is not a text… | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "No one can know truth except the one who obeys truth. You think you know truth. People memorize the Scriptures by the yard, but that is not a guarantee of knowing the truth. Truth is not a text. Truth is in the text, but it takes the text plus the Holy Spirit to bring truth to a human soul….” A. W. Tozer"

What sort of outreach ministries should a church have?: "Every church has the opportunity to reach out to the lost in their area. What kind of outreach ministries should a church have? First, no single congregation can provide every type of outreach. In His wisdom, God has uniquely gifted each congregation with those who excel in particular types of outreach. We can categorize outreach in two types —essential outreach ministries and optional outreach ministries."
