Untrue statements. We hear so many contrary reports that we do not know what is true and what is not. Certainly this is a time when we need to get our facts right, especially with regards to Jesus.Interestingly, Luke faced these same problems centuries ago. Whether people are hostile or just misinformed, the consequences of wrong reports can be quite serious. Luke aimed to set people straight while the facts still could be searched out. Join learning about Jesus Christ through over 70 articles on the Gospel of Luke. Many of them are nicely designed teaching handouts while another large percentage consists of insights on various passages. Through Luke's presentation about the ideal man we should all seek, he speaks to everyone spread about the globe about the Lord Christ Jesus. http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/References/NT/Gospels/Luke/Luke00_Introduction.html http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/References/NT/Gospels/Luke/Luke00_Introduction.html Preparing the Two to Be One!

Temper tantrums. Rage. Hateful, spiteful words. Mean actions. Cursing. Hitting. Yelling. Sound familiar? In this article we highlight the actual understanding needed to take the necessary steps to help children overcome anger. Although many of the principles are the same, special attention to the parent-child relationship needs to be paid attention to. Drugs don't solve the problems but hide them and bury our children in a world of despair. God frees people to a joy of reliance on our good Lord's power! http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/Help/Updates/Archives/2007_updates/2007_5_17_Anger.html http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/Help/Updates/Archives/2007_updates/2007_5_17_Anger.html Tue, 06 Mar 2007 10:00:00 EST Starting a church? Learn how the Apostle Paul himself dealt with a load of problems resulting from the new churches that developed from an evangelism tour. At least he was responsible enough to care for those he brought into life! But one does get his hands dirty. Strife. Young leadership. Distance. Opposition. Even false teachers. Paul's advice leads us into understanding the importance of the local church, leadership and how to gingerly deal with personal relationships. Interestingly, we see him not only touching on the problems but working on the infrastructure that provides long-lasting improvement. One will be especially moved by watching Paul tenderly care for Titus the missionary who has reached his limit. http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/Help/Updates/Archives/2007_updates/2007_3_6_Titus.html http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/Help/Updates/Archives/2007_updates/2007_3_6_Titus.html Tue, 30 Dec 2008 10:00:00 EST The Book of Ephesians clearly leaves its mark among other Bible books by displaying the powerful impact of the Gospel of Christ Jesus in the individual and corporate life of believers. Ephesians chapters 1-3 wonderfully expound the Gospel while Ephesians chapters 4-6 provide a clear picture of how those doctrines change our lives. For example, in chapters 1-3 Paul depicts the birth and purpose of the church while in the later section, we get a picture of what the church is to look and function like. This page provides a basic index of the many BFF articles, powerpoints, mp3, podcasts, handouts and Bible Study questions on the Book of Ephesians. http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/References/NT/Pauline/Ephesians/Ephesians0/Ephesians0_Articles.html http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/References/NT/Pauline/Ephesians/Ephesians0/Ephesians0_Articles.html
