The cross of Jesus Christ and his baptism express the same thing. Our Lord was not a martyr; he was not merely a good man; he was God Incarnate. He came down to the lowest reach of creation in order to bring back the whole human race to God, and in order to do this he

Jesus described hell as a place with a stench. On the southwest corner of I-240 in our city you can smell the oil refinery. In Counce, Tennessee, you can smell the pulp mill or in Bolivar the tannery.

If you are going to be Jesus’ apprentice only one essential condition must be met: you must spend time with the person you are mentoring. You can’t do discipleship at arms length or through distance learning.
Most Christians don’t think in terms of this lifestyle of apprenticeship. They spend

Actually, it’s a good thing that Jesus is not with us now in a human body and therefore limited to one geographic location. If He was, you would have as much chance of being with Him in your lifetime as you would a holiday with the Queen! You might get a five minute slot in His diary in 2030, but

I met Jesus at a conference of Christian managers. But his story is a little out of the ordinary.
The conference was hosted in a beautiful facility in Dallas, Texas, and the organizers had done a fantastic job at putting together a good program. We had great meetings and warm fellowship, and I

Ken Gire writes, “Where you would have expected angels, there were only flies. Where you would have expected heads of state, there were only donkeys, a few haltered cows, a nervous ball of sheep, a tethered camel, & a furtive scurry of curious mice. Except for Joseph, there was no one to share

In his book, Science Speaks, Peter Stoner applies the modern science of probability to just eight Messianic prophecies regarding Christ. He says, "The chance that any man might have fulfilled all eight prophecies is one in 10 to the 17th. That would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000." (one
