The Righteousness of God Comes from Relationship with God
Our relationship with God defines us as saved versus condemned. Enoch walked with God, and so God took Enoch home to heaven.

Believers in Business: Three Tenets for Transactions
Business deals are not inherently wrong. But it is equally obvious that the worldly business practices of worldly men are worldly instead of godly. Thus, the goals of Believers are often diametrically opposed to those with whom they must do business.
How then can a Believer navigate the world of business in a way that honors God?
Foundations of Faith
When God calls on us, will we show up? Or will we be missing in action? Our responses to God reveal to us, and everyone watching, what we think of Him. Our responses will reveal if He really is our God. Our responses will reveal whether we believe He is good, fair, just, and worthy of our love.
Redemption (Part 4): Knowledge [of God] is Power!
We CAN overcome sin by continually submitting our will to God’s authority, by studying, memorizing and frequently contemplating God’s Word, so that it can transform us by replacing our human desires with Godly desires. Then God’s will and God’s plan will consummate in us to produce righteousness to the Glory of God.
Redemption (Part 3): Disobedience Disables.
If we are ever to live victorious Christian lives, we must first seriously seek to live obedient sacrificial lives. It’s not more ‘churching’, it’s not louder singing, it’s not even better preaching that’s going to transform us. We will be transformed when we “offer ourselves as living sacrifices” to God: when we sacrifice our will to live in obedience to God’s will.
Redemption (Part 2): Garbage in, Garbage Out
To experience God’s Redemption we must relinquish our worldview/value-system and accept God’s instead.
Redemption (Part 1): LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
No one comes to God before first recognizing that he/she is separated from God
The First Sin
Rather than making God’s Word subject to our desires, we should subject our desires to God’s Word… Know God’s Word to know sin. Obey God’s Word to defeat sin
The Wrong Approach to Sin
No matter how much we deny, distort or disguise the evidence of sin, we can never change the fact of sin… Only God can remove the stain and penalty of sin. The longer we hide from Him the longer we have to live with the cancer of sin eating away at our lives… Nobody forces us to sin and God does not put us in a situation where we must sin. We are NOT powerless. We CAN choose to resist the influence of others. We CAN rise above our circumstances.
