Theme Scripture: James 1:19
We are faced with decision making all the time. Some are big and significant life-altering choices and most others are small, often unnoticed and even insignificant. What most influences our decisions – reason, emotion or expediency? What about laziness versus discipline? Can we make better decisions? If so, how? God-honoring choices should be in the forefront of our daily lives. Whatever question we have, there are scriptural principles that can help us to answer that question. We have to apply them to our situation. There is a process: It starts with some kind of stimulus, some kind of input that evokes a response with multiple possibilities. In between these two events – stimulus and response - there is space, perhaps a small space, but space nevertheless. In this space lies our destiny… "When we can no longer change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor Frankl

Theme Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:11-12
The Bible tells us to stand fight and be courageous for our faith. It also sometimes tells us to run away from some things and some people. What is the difference? How do we know when to plant our feet solidly on the foundation of Christ and truth or when to lace up the running shoes of righteousness and run away? Is it always an obvious answer? Is there ever a time that we would do both? Wait – how would you do THAT?

Theme Scripture: Thessalonians 5:23
(Part 1 found here) A few weeks ago we began to look at the nature of the soul as defined in the Bible – not as defined by traditions or mythology or different social groupings - but as defined by the Bible. What we found was the Bible clearly states that the soul – the being of man and animal - is mortal and subject to death, which is the absence of life. This program looks at Scriptures that seem to contradict this conclusion, as well as the difference between "soul" and "spirit." What does the Bible tell us?

Theme Scripture: Job 19:25
It was 2,000 years ago today, early in the morning, that the world changed. It was not the brash outward change of a military coup, nor was it a treaty of the leaders of great nations to be lauded by the people. The world did not change because of some medical breakthrough or some magnificent discovery. No. The world changed because there was one tomb, just one tomb that was empty. It was a borrowed tomb, given to a man who had no earthly possession and who just three days previous, had been cruelly and unjustly tortured and crucified. This tomb was empty and that meant that nothing would ever be the same…it's the day of resurrection!
