MANTRAS - truths, myths or misbeliefs

Mantra #14 - NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

With great insight and transparency, Dr. Shannan Crawford teaches and declares the stewardship that our all powerful God has delegated to us; and how we should live in light of His purposes, while pursuing the assignments He has given to us.

Mantra #1 - GOD IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL

In this sermon, some ramifications for believing an unscriptural statement, which actually comes from the Quran, are explored. Then the real truth is declared and illustrated by a personal testimony from Carl Kaspick.

Mantra #2 - GOD WON'T GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE

While it is true that everything in life - good, bad and not so good - has reasons behind them, it is not true that God is always the cause. However, for those of us who love Him and are called to His purposes, the Lord will make everything work together for the good of making us more like Christ.

Mantra #3 - EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

While this may seem to be a brush off at best, it simply is not true in this world of people who love to judge others. However, ultimately in light of the eternal future, it is true for us all. Therefore we would be wise to consider the state of our souls in light of Judgment Day.

Mantra #4 - ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME

Enjoy the ministry of Greg and Marietta Harrell, as they humorously dismantle this popular misbelief; while also teaching the Biblical principles of 100% commitment in marriage.

Mantra #6 - MARRIAGE IS A 50-50 PROPOSITION

While Jesus' followers are commanded to not be condemning and judgmental, we must still exercise wise judgment when necessary. In this sermon, more than ten ways are communicated on how we are NOT to do this.

Mantra #5 - CHRISTIANS SHOULD NEVER JUDGE

Sometimes said to explain the unexplainable, this phrase, coming from a song rather than the Scriptures, is more like an invitation than an explanation; for we are all invited to pursue knowing God and to learn and understand more about Him and His mysterious ways.

Mantra #7 - GOD MOVES IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS

Chanting this phrase may seem boldly encouraging for some but it communicates a shallow close-mindedness to others. In this sermon, you will be encouraged to truly know what God really says - in light of Jesus Christ and the New Testament - as well as to practice what true believing is and to be settled in it; in such a way that does not hinder spiritual growth and learning how to effectively reason with anyone who asks us about our hope in The Lord.

Mantra #8 - GOD SAID IT, I BELIEVE IT, THAT SETTLES IT!

Important child raising keys are communicated in this relevant message about disciplining, discipling, maturing and restoring our children; as well as the need for us to realize that our own walk with God is setting an example for them to follow.

Mantra #9 - SPARE THE ROD SPOIL THE CHILD

While the phrase "This too shall pass" might often bring comfort to a hurting person, it falls short of being a guiding principle for life. In this teaching, the hearer is pointed from the temporal world of things that pass away to that of God's kingdom; filled with eternal things that will never pass away.

Mantra #10 - THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Exploring Biblical truth about the human conscience, this message declares our vital need for a good, clean, healthy and undefiled conscience; as well as how to keep one.

Mantra #11 - LET YOUR CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE

In this message you will hear the pros and cons of our quest for human happiness, as well as the eternal joy that is our's to enjoy through pursuing the long-range plans and perfect will of God.

Mantra #12 - GOD WANTS YOU TO BE HAPPY

While this often heard quote is not exactly in the Bible, when properly applied Biblically, it does remind us to embrace reality and to live life fully; in spite of what may be discouraging or hindering us. When improperly applied, this phrase can become another excuse for accepting the status quo and living as victims instead of the victors God has called us to be.

Mantra #13 - IT IS WHAT IT IS

Dealing with popular phrases - often heard in our culture - this series looks for their truthfulness and Biblical values. For more information about Pastor Alan Latta and Generations Church of Granbury go to www.generationspeople.org
