Our Daily Passion

The body must work together to be efficient. In the same way the Church must be able to work together with Christ the head to be efficient.

It is not a religious people who will change our nation, it is not a religious people who will change the direction in which the Church is heading. It is a people with a double portion. It is a people who have the life of Christ in them that will change our generation.

The double portion is the life of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit abiding in me. Before possessing the double portion, Elisha had to undertake a journey; likewise, it is a purposeful journey that we also must undertake. The life of Christ is never imposed on you or me-we have the option given to us from God.

What is meant by the life of double portion? How do I find it? How do I get there? How do I appropriate the double portion? And once I have it, what is the outworking of this in my life? And if I love a life of double portion in God, what will I leave behind when I die? The life of Elisha gives some very clear answers that we will study in today's episode of our DAILY PASSION, entitled: Living a Life of Double Portion part 1.

In today's Daily PASSION episode we are exploring faith and how God has always used young people to get his message to the world., and He still desires to do so today. All he looks for are those who will put their faith into action.

Thousands of years ago a city was built between those two mountains. The reason was obvious. The two mountains afforded a degree of protection and the confluence of two trade routes made it an ideal location for a settlement. That ancient city was called Shechem. Today we want to consider the History of this city and how it relates to us as Christians.

All the misery, sorrow and murders and every other wretched thing that we see in the world around us, is due to man having decided to choose for himself what is good and what is evil. He doesn't want God to tell him. Multitudes of Christians live with Self as the center of their life - and they reap what they sow.

The initial bout of suffering that came on Job was sudden and enormous. In one day, Job was stripped of his wealth and bereaved of his ten children. In Job 1 we have a blow by blow account of Job’s suffering, as one messenger after another comes to tell Job that he has lost everything.

The book of Job deals with the age-old question of human suffering, but does this from a believer’s perspective. The question is not general, Why is there evil in this world? but rather, Why do the righteous suffer? Why do God’s people suffer? Ultimately, this a question about God: Why does God bring suffering into the lives of His people?

In today's Our Daily PASSION episode we are going to look at what it means to surrender to God. Surrender is not a word often associated with positive actions. After all, "surrender in the name of the law" usually means trouble for someone. And we know that when one side surrenders to another in battle, it's a sign they've given up any hope for victory. So if we surrender to God, what are we giving up? Does it mean, as it does for the enemy in battle, to give up on victory in our lives? Is God holding a gun to our heads and forcing us to give Him everything we have, like a bandit or mugger might do? We hope to help you answer this and other questions you may have in Our Daily PASSION episode for today.

Depression is real. There is a danger for those of us who have never experienced deep dark depression to dismiss its reality, but that would be a mistake. Depression is real and in fact some great Christians in history have battled depression for portions of their lives and some for their entire lives. Whether a Saint or a Sinner it does not matter. All can be affected by depression one way or another.

In today s Our Daily PASSION episode we hope to show some of the causes for suicide and to encourage those who desire to take their life to understand that there is hope and there is purpose for them in this life!

Wise rulers and builders always determine beforehand if they have the resources to complete an important initiative or project; how much more important is it for us to do so in the matter of our relationship to Christ and His eternal Kingdom?

In todays OUR DAILY PASSION episode, we are exploring the conclusion of Jesus' greatest sermon, with the parable that compares a wise man who builds his house on the rock with a strong foundation, to a foolish man who build his house on the sand. What foundation is your life built on?

In today's episode of Our Daily Passion, We want to explore the different spiritual soils that Jesus refers to in the timeless story we have entitled: Soil Samples From the Heart

In today's episode of Our Daily Passion, our goal is to explore what it means to be a doer of the Word and not just a hearer of the Word. And also discuss the results of hearing but not doing what the Word says.

What does it mean to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ? We would all agree that the answer to this question is of vital importance. Jesus' last command before He left His faithful followers was to go into all the world and make not just converts, but disciples. In todays' episode of Our daily Passion, our goal is to define a part of the answer to that question so that we all understand what it means to be a disciple ourselves, and so that we can also make better disciples of those whom we ministering to. We hope to answer this and other questions you may have in Our Daily PASSION episode for today entitled: Continuing in God's Word

The Bible nowhere portrays baptism as the testimony of the person baptized. Passages that link faith to baptism (such as Acts 8:12; 18:8) simply show that faith, publicly professed, is a necessary condition for baptism. Indeed, it is appropriate to include a statement of faith in the baptismal ceremony. However, a baptism itself (the application of water, with accompanying words) is a statement by God (through the Church) to and about the person being baptized, not a statement by that person. The person baptized, under the norm, is the recipient of baptism from a Priest of Jesus Christ, acting in his name (Matthew 28:18–20; cf. Acts 2:37–42; 8:16; 35–38). Once we recognize that faith is a condition for baptism, and that baptism itself is not a demonstration of faith by the person baptized, the question can be asked, Whose faith is required? As we look now at the relevant biblical teaching, we will see that the faith of parents fully suffices for the baptism of their children.
