Steadfastness and staying-power, that’s Makrothumia, the godly quality of long-suffering. The scriptures give us hope as we realize the depth of God’s patience towards us. Then, it gives us guidance to know how we are to express this quality in our lives as Christians – children of our Father, emulating Him.

General Petraeus, Did You Betray Us?

Comments Off on General Petraeus, Did You Betray Us?, Blog, by CGP.

 

Mark Twain once wryly remarked—essentially—that to not keep up with the news was to be un-informed. But to slavishly believe all that the news media puts out means only that one becomes mis-informed.

And if so, “Who should we thank, and why should we be thankful?” Jeff Patton rehearses the lessons that God wanted his people to know and that very few people seem to value to their detriment.

Fruit of the Spirit: Self-control

1 Comment, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

 

In our world a lack of self-control can cause the fall of great leaders. As disciples of Christ we must exercise self-control, but it is not merely a self-mastery that originates within ourselves. The Greek scriptures give us insight into “kratos” the dominion that proceeds from within oneself, but not by oneself. God is the source of this mastery, that we must exercise in order to fulfill His purpose for us. Jeff gives us the comfort and encouragement of the scriptures that provide us the instruction about this fruit of the spirit, that will train us to be mature Christians who are able to reach godly solutions in our daily walk.

Divided Loyalty

1 Comment, Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

 


The American election is over but it has not resolved the deep political and social rift in that nation and it is not likely to give the leadership a clear mandate for the future. In a time when America seems divided politically and socially, we need to ask ourselves the important question, “Who deserves our loyalty.” Jeff Patton explores the scripture to reveal the answer, and provide insight into our loyalties as Christians. Divided loyalty is a pitfall on the Christian road.
