The world runs according to God’s wisdom, but because of our doubt, duplicity, and defilement, this wisdom eludes us. Today, we will see why we “ask and receive not.” The post Will the Real Wise Man Please Step Forward appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

A powerful reminder as we study the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.  The post Mark 15:1-16:20 appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

Samson begins his life in the rare company of some great people in Scripture. You are set up to anticipate great things from this young man’s life. The sunrise of Samson’s life is dazzling, but then the clouds obscure the hope immediately. Samson, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, tarnishes his life by failing to receive confrontation correctly. The post Might Makes Right appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

The writers of Scripture would often use real events and emphasize certain details to conjure previously told stories in Scripture. In Mark 14, you find yet again the story of mans failure in the garden, but contrast it with Christs victory in the garden, and now you have a story of redemption.  The post Mark 14:26-72 appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

Admit failure can only mean weakness, but one of the final indicators of failure is keeping up appearances. Like Rehoboam, you may attempt to replace the priceless with polished shields of brass in order to fool others. The sad end of the story is you ultimately fool yourself. Lets learn how to prepare our heart to avoid failure. The post Keeping Up Appearances appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

This seed of failure lays silently in your hearts soil and chokes the joy out of life. You only know you have it if you allow God to reveal it to you or if its too late! In the game of life, there are plenty who throw spears, and the conventional wisdom would say, Right back at you. However, this is not the Biblical prescription. Lets examine the underbelly of bitterness and be ever watchful for its seed being planted in our heart.  The post Throwing Spears appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

Marks presentation of the Olivet Discourse is the longest teaching passage in the book, but still very clear. While there is helpful information about the end time events, the passage emphasizes more. Remember Marks purpose is to help you, the reader, willingly conclude that Jesus is the Messiah. Mark 13 unpacks the vital truth that in the midst of the chaos and hype of current events, train your eyes to search for the Savior. He alone will remain consistent. While heaven and earth may pass away, His words will never pass away.  The post Mark 13:1-37 appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

The second failsafe we need in our life centers on your motivation. We often are mired in our sense of duty. We serve because of a perceived obligation. This is never enough for we know in scripture, the noblest sacrifices are worthless if you do not have love. Paul said we are to do the will of God from the heart. Many are set for a crash course with failure because they try to navigate without any sense of purpose. Lets see what we can learn as we compare the life of Paul with the life of his fellow-laborer, Demas. The post The Call of Duty appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

Throughout this series, we will examine five fail-safes you need in order to protect your life from failure. The primary tendency when we are on the path of failure is toward isolation. We severe the healthy relationships with family and friends who truly care about us. We even severe our relationship with God in an effort to hide in the shadow of darkness for it is the light of truth which we dread. In every situation like this, you need a Ruth who will refuse to leave you to your own destructive desires.  The post God Seeks When We Hide appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.

If you could discipline your tongue, you would control the rest of your life. Does that sound unlikely? James tells us it is the case. If any person can bridle his tongue and not offend in any way, the same is a perfect person. Lets be humble enough to admit we need help with our speech.  The post The Slip of the Tongue appeared first on Anthony Baptist Church.
