The word friend is defined so broadly today that it can be used to refer to all social acquaintances, even school and businesses associates. But when we come to the serious study of the term we find that in ordinary usage, as well as in biblical language, the word friend, conveys the idea of companion, partner, comrade. Our concept of friendship undergoes an immediate change when we think of it in terms of Christian relationships. This will be confirmed as we look at the pivotal statement made by our Lord on the subject of friends and friendships, in John 15:11-16. Don't miss this important truth on Christianity and Your Friends.

Christianity and your school

During this series of "Working Out Your Salvation", God has been bringing the Word to bear on our homes. This week we turn our attention to our precious children (and grandchildren). There is a sense in which none of us ever leaves school. The whole of life is a school in which we are trained and fitted for eternity. No one can read the Bible without observing this fact. The Scriptures make it abundantly clear that life, and afterlife, are largely determined by the way a child is raised or schooled, when their years are tender and the personality is so impressionable. The Word of God says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" Proverbs 22:6. This Sunday we will look at three very important truths that God wants us to glean from this great verse in Proverbs on how to train our children.
Christianity and your home
February 12, 2017 • Dr. Danny Lovett
Last Sunday, the message was "Christianity and your Marriage" and many of us found ourselves making fresh commitments to the Lord and our spouses. This Sunday, the message is "Christianity and your Home." The whole idea of and design for the home originated with God. It's important for us to remember that this is God's plan. It is not surprising, to find that the Bible has much to say about the home. For the purpose we have in mind, we will be focusing our attention on Psalm 127 and the principles that should be in a genuinely Christian home. The essence of a Christian home is family life together with God. When God has His rightful place, the home is bound to be a happy home! Don't miss these great truths about building a home God's way!
Christianity and your marriage

For the next two Sundays, the titles of the messages are "Christianity and your Marriage" and "Christianity and your Home." God created the first two human beings to be the parents of the human race. They were to be companions, to live and work together as partners, helping each other every way they could. As the parents of the human race, they were a picture of exactly what God wants the people of the world to be: one family. This is one of the major points God is making in Genesis 2. Man and woman are to be companions to each other, true companions, living and working together as one family. The human race is to live together in the love, joy, and peace of a family. Satan is trying hard to destroy the home because it is God's first institution. Healthy homes are the foundation of healthy churches and healthy government. Satan knows that as goes the home, goes the Church, and as goes the Church, goes the country. We need to understand why God created the home and His intended purpose for the home in His eternal plan. You don't want to miss these next two messages. They can change your life and your home and have a ripple effect on our community. Let me especially urge the young couples with children to be attentive to what God has to say through his Word!
