When Your World Comes Crashing Down
December 9, 2020 • Dr. John Waterloo
* Everything is not always as it seems - God sent an earthquake to convert a soul!
* Not every tragedy is tragic - God doesn’t cause evil, but He can use it to bring good!
* Sometimes it takes a tragedy to get our attention.
* If often takes a sacrifice to turn things around - Paul and Silas sacrificed their freedom in order to be available for the jailer.
Truth or Tradition?
December 6, 2020 • Dr. John Waterloo
* Traditions have their place. God set up many traditions, to cause the people to REMEMBER!
* Traditions are not a replacement for true heart-worship of God, i.e., Lip-religion vs. Heart-religion. The Pharisees were so careful to keep laws and traditions, but they had no relationship with God! Outwardly they were religious but inwardly they were wicked and lost.
* When traditions supersede God’s commands, there is a big problem… and the problem is with our HEART! When we hear the Word, and do not embrace it and live it, we make it of none effect!
