Dare To Be Different

Contributed by Robert Shaver on Jan 2, 2012

Many are drawn to a camouflage Christianity that blends in with the world but Jesus has called us to wear bright orange vests and stick out. Why? Revelation 3:14-22; John 13:35; John 15:8; Exodus 4; Mark 16:17-20

Scripture Reading: Revelation 3:14-22 Isn't that crazy? A lukewarm Christian - the idea of it is absurd. It is crazy because who starts off their Christian walk like that? Who, in giving their life to Christ says, "Lord, take half of me! For the rest of my life I will half-heartedly serve ...read more

The Prayer Of Love Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 14, 2021

John 17 is the longest prayer of Jesus in the entire Gospels. It's sometimes referred to as Christ's High Priestly prayer... but I regard that as being a far too sterile description of what is truly Jesus' prayer of love for His bride.

Children have very simple views of life… and of love. The following are children’s views on the topic of love. A 7 year old said – “If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.” A 5 year old boy – “Once I’m in kindergarten, I’m going to find me ...read more

Jesus Sympathizes.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Nov 7, 2021

Paul mentioned Christ as our High Priest before in (Hebrews 2:17,3:1), but did not attempt to prove it until now, which he does at great length in Hebrews 4:13 through Hebrews 10:39) in over 5 and a half chapters.

Jesus Sympathizes. Hebrews 4:14-16NKJV Mark Twain once said: “Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture which they cannot understand; but as for me, I have always noticed that the passages in Scripture which trouble me most are those which I do understand.” Paul mentioned Christ as ...read more

Divine Settlement

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jun 30, 2022

As we all desire to settle down in life and enjoy God's goodness, I hereby affirm that settlement is indeed possible if we let God have His way, as it is His promise to settle and establish us - as stated in 1 Chronicles 17:14.

Settlement means ? “an official agreement intended to resolve a dispute or conflict ...” (Google) ? As far as I am concerned, this is the best realm of settlement that anyone could wish for. I say this because, once upon a time, we were in conflict with God because of the fall of man in the garden ...read more

Lot's Day Vs. Our Day

Contributed by Thilini Perera on Jan 3, 2021

“IT WAS THE SAME IN THE DAYS OF LOT” said Jesus in Luke chapter 17:28 teaching invaluable lessons about the latter days, popularly known as the End-times. Jesus masterfully points to the parallel conditions between the two eras, LOT’S DAY and OUR DAY.

When we dissect the BELOW text we can identify two noticeable eras paralleled in the text along with three people categories belonging to each era, namely the 1. SODOMITES, 2. LOT’S FAMILY and 3. LOT’S WIFE. It’s worth looking at the conduct and the choices made by people of each category, as they ...read more
