     | 6,237 views

    I believe the best way to communicate is meeting face to face. Yet we try to substitute this most ancient and proven way with technology and social Media and have become terribly disconnected as a result.

    A face-to-face request is 34 times more successful than an email In research Mahdi Roghanizad of Western University and I conducted, recently published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, we have found that people tend to overestimate the power of their persuasiveness via text-based ...read more

    Stress and Disappointment come into every life. Christians are provided a powerful response to such stressors, and this powerful response is revealed in Paul's review of his own life.

    “We have this treasure in clay jars to show that its extraordinary power comes from God and not from us. In every way we’re troubled but not crushed, frustrated but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed. We are always carrying around the death of Jesus in our ...read more

    We enter the Kingdom through trials. This is pictured in the Gates of Pearl of New Jerusalem. Pearls are the result of irritation and the secreting of a grace-like substance that transforms the irritation into a pearl. Paradise is entered by trials!

    What comes to mind when you hear the term, treasure seekers? Pirates, movies like, The Goonies? The world views treasure much differently than God does. Let's see what constitutes real treasure and determine if we want to be treasures seekers today.

    TREASURE SEEKERS When you think of treasure seekers what do you typically think of? Pirates searching for buried treasure?

    Many Christians in our churches follow Jesus but still have doubts. Their faith has not become crystal clear for them. There are things about Jesus that are cloudy for them like looking through a dark glass. Maybe you are one of them?

    God had entrusted to Paul and his fellow evangelists this treasure of great worth—the gospel of Christ—but why would He do this? Because He delights in empowering the weak in order to confound the strong.

    How did Paul respond to his critics ... ? ... Paul "... said, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles" (I Cor.1:23 NRSV). The true gospel of Jesus Christ removes all crutches that people use to prop up their pretentiousness!

    The Dark Night Of The Soul

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Jan 6, 2022
     | 2,326 views

    The phrase “dark night of the soul” comes from a poem by St. John of the Cross (1542-1591), a Spanish Carmelite monk. According to the poet, the “dark night of the soul” is synonymous with traveling the “narrow way” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 7:13-14.

    TITLE: THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL TEXT: 2 Cor. 4:7-10 “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but ...read more
