Becoming approved happens to everyone. Depending on what the situation is, different types of approval will happen. As Christians, we are to become approved by God by the things that we are doing. This includes our continual growth and progress that will become evident to all we come in contact with.

The Small Things
We are judged on the everyday minutia of our lives–including the bridling of our tongue. We must keep this in mind with all our interactions taking care to not offend.
The Key To Godliness
Why did once faithful members slip back into the
world—summarily rejecting every truth of God they had once embraced? In the face
of all the biblical warnings of this happening, we must not allow ourselves to
fall prey to this deadly error!
Fear Whom?
What is fear? Fear happens when we have done something wrong and are expecting a penalty. So what does it mean to have fear of the Lord? When we have proper fear for God, we will not disobey God’s laws because we will have such a great love for God.

The Ten Commandments and the Model Prayer
Is there any relationship between the Ten Commandments and the Model Prayer in Matthew 6? Some parallels are obvious, such as, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain” and “Hallowed be thy name,” but in other cases, the connection may be less clear at first sight. However, this sermon shows how the different phrases in the “Lord’s Prayer” complement each and every one of the Ten Commandments.
Six-Hundred Years
The flow of events following Judah’s captivity and the destruction of both Jerusalem and the Temple of God all paved the way for the first coming of the Messiah. As seemingly unlikely as it might have appeared in the time of Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel, the re-establishment of Jews in Jerusalem and the rebuilding of God’s Temple was impossible to derail! The parallels for our time are inescapable!
