The Golden Rule (Part 2 of 2) - Alistair Begg

A Stream in the San Bernardino Mountains, California by Ken Hulsey

Christians are to love others in a way that’s distinct from that of the culture. But are we standing out? Listen to Truth for Life as Alistair examines the Golden Rule, presenting an uncomfortable challenge—and pointing out a surprising reward!

 

A Christian Manifesto 
Luke 6:20-49

Of the teachings of Jesus, few are as familiar—or as frequently misunderstood—as those contained in Luke 6:20–49. Over the centuries, believers and unbelievers alike have been stirred by Christ’s lessons on the Law of Love, the Golden Rule, forgiving one’s enemies, and bearing good fruit. But are these famous words really just a collection of inspiring moral teaching? Or do they offer us something even greater?

In this series, Alistair Begg invites us to revisit one of Jesus’ most well-known sermons and see it for what it truly is: a “manifesto” for Christian living that points to our need for a Savior. Understood rightly, Jesus’ teaching would make even the most well-meaning, gracious person despair of his ability to fulfill God’s commands. Before we can embrace the radical, selfless lifestyle that Jesus preached, we must be reborn from the inside out—a transformation that can only be accomplished in us by Christ Himself.

All In The Family | How a Family Can Live in Today’s Environment

 

 In a world full of iniquity, how can our families live as followers of Christ? We must avoid causing damage to our families. We must be grateful, loving one another as God instructed. Forgive when we have been wronged. Live holy lives that are pleasing to God and be obedient to His will. Lastly, give thanks in every aspect of our lives.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
