How Do You View The Cross?

Contributed by Allan Kircher on May 31, 2009

You may be have been foolish at the cross by the mockery of your life and lips and your actions. These people get so close to the cross but choose to deny the blood it shed.

When Morning Comes

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 2, 2025

Hope for Those Who Sleep in Christ. Death for the believer is not an ending but a pause— until resurrection morning awakens every promise.

In moments like these, the air feels thinner—heaven seems ...read more

Believing Without Seeing

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Apr 4, 2021

On the day of Jesus's return we will see him, in person, face to face. Until that great day, we are those who have not seen, yet believe. We are those who have not touched and seen and heard.

Every child receives some features from his or her parents, like red hair or brown eyes or a certain shape of nose or chin. And sometimes we think faith is like that too. We say, “I’m pretty sure I have ...read more
