Living Better
In today's society and even in the life of the church, many people go from one thing to the other to try and escape to a different life. Solomon tried it all and realized that man should live with a spiritual mind, prioritizing that which will last for eternity. There is a way to "live better."

Never in the Scripture does it say that "God is fair." It claims only that He is just. We do not live in a fair world, because we live in a sinful world. We need to examine the Bible and the promises of God to develop the proper world view.

Five Lies We Tell Ourselves
King Solomon had the resources, the wisdom and good health to try and satisfy every desire he could imagine with the things this world has to offer.

Bringing Heaven to Earth
Life will undoubtedly hand us some bad days! Followers of Christ should always respond to those who disrespect us, discriminate against us, and give us evil for our good by bringing a little heaven to earth. His children bring Christ into reality in our world!

Tis the Reason of Dominion
Mankind is unique among all of God's creation, but in the Garden we lost the dominion over the earth that God intended for us. Christ's coming to earth in the form of a man enables us to leave the "family of Adam" and be born again into Christ and new life!

Tis the Reason of Redemption
Jesus came into the world at the perfect time - the time ordained of the Heavenly Father. He came to deliver us from the curse of the law and to place in our hearts a new law, a law that keeps us in love with the Savior, the Word and with fellow Christians. Don't legalize your Christianity!

Tis the Reason of Salvation
A personal testimony is a powerful witness to the unbeliever. Paul shares with young Timothy how he came to Christ and what a difference it made in his life. Christmas is all about this - that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners".
