    Otherwise, politics is about "bread and circuses."

    Have you ever noticed that when you combine the two words, “THE” and “IRS,” it spells “THEIRS”?

    Judgement? Or Fraternal Correction

    You know what happens whenever you point out some evil in the culture. The next words somebody will say are, “Jesus taught you not to judge.”

    Friday of the 22nd Week in Course Today’s Gospel is so straightforward and goes to the heart of Christ’s teaching that we can be forgiven for ignoring all the other Scriptures we have heard. It’s kind of a slap at the Pharisees, who try to keep all the six-hundred plus rules of Torah involving ...read more

    This is my fourth sermon in the series and looks at how we are to be productive as we act as God's kingdom here.

    It seems strange to mix the sacred with the everyday, to describe the eternal with the ordinary, the infinite with the finite. And yet that is exactly what Jesus did when looking for a way to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven, a treasure in a field, a merchant looking for a pearl the tiniest of ...read more

    The Gospel According To Thorns

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Jul 22, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 632 views

    The profound meaning we find in looking at thorns is that the crown of thorns that was thrust upon Jesus’ head was a deliberate symbol of Him taking on our sin. Innocent Jesus Christ took on our sin onto Himself and paid for it. It’s all right there in the thorns.

    THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THORNS VARIOUS PASSAGES #thorns INTRODUCTION Every week when I mow my yard I come around a particular large bush that was planted around my propane tank I just get shredded on whatever arm and leg that happens to be on the inside as I try to mow around it.

     | 368 views

    The term “fiducial” comes from the Latin fiducia, meaning trust or confidence. It is all about faithful faith. Consistent faithfulness. A "fiducial follower" is someone, like Thomas, who trusts in God’s promises. They have faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
