Getting the Backslider to Slide Forward, Part 3

Believers who backslide don’t need our judgment. What they really need is our love. And love doesn’t expose sin. Love covers it. And we need to understand that’s what people need. In Luke 22:31, Jesus told Peter that he was going to backslide and fall. But also Jesus said He had prayed for Peter, that his faith would be strong. So, following Christ’s example, we should pray for and encourage our brothers and sisters who are struggling.

Getting the Backslider to Slide Forward, Part 2

Do you know anyone who could be considered a “backslider”? If so, what have done about them? Pastor Ford asks us today, “Who have you gone and snatched back from the Devil—someone who really belongs to God?” He suggests that instead of saying, “Well, the Devil’s got them now…” We should go get them! Because they don’t belong to Satan. They belong to God!

Getting the Backslider to Slide Forward, Part 1

There are those of us who are such self-righteous Pharisees, that whenever somebody falls, instead of picking them up, we step on them. Instead of picking them up, we talk about them. Instead of picking them up, we disregard them and hate on them. Today, Pastor Ford will let us know how to avoid being one of those types of self-righteous believers.

The example that the Apostle Paul gives us in 1 Corinthians 10, shows us clearly that the Children of Israel disobeyed and rebelled against God.

After You Say I Do (for Marrieds), Part 1

Women believe their marriage is working as long as the communication continues, and Pastor Ford agrees that’s true. He explains that the silence of the woman is the death knell of a marriage. As long as she can talk about the issues, she thinks they can be resolved. But when she stops talking, that’s a sign the marriage is in deep trouble.

Before You Say I Do (for Men), Part 5

When considering someone as a potential spouse, one way to determine if they have a Christ-like attitude is to observe their willingness to be self-sacrificial for the good of the relationship.  Jesus sacrificed Himself for all of us and is the supreme example for us all to follow as we serve each other, especially in marriage.

Before You Say I Do (for Men), Part 3

On today’s Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford reminds us that there are only two kinds of marriages.  You’re either growing up in marriage or you’re giving up.  So, all of us who are married should consider this—when we react to a problem in marriage, what are we doing?  Are we growing up, or are we giving up?
