And Now For The Rest Of The Story...

Contributed by Stephen Becker on Oct 13, 2007

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

In this my adaption of a sermon by Eric Carey-Holt, I have focused on what I believe to have been the Lord’s original intent in His parable of the “Good Samaritan”, addressing the problem of racial discrimination, and socio-economic, gender, and religious prejudice.

Our Excelling Example Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

We look to Christ as our example, and He teaches us a positive type of humility that says I have ability and blessings which I will use, not for self-glorification, but for the edification of others.

You cannot imitate what you do not know. Any parrot who learns to swear does not reveal its own character, but rather that of its owner and example.

Walk The Walk

Contributed by Paul Hammons on Mar 13, 2007

Ephesians 4:1, “I… beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.” I really believe that there are a lot of people who claim to have a relationship with Christ, but don’t. They talk the talk, but they don’t walk the walk.

A few minutes after the train came to a stop, a giant of a man - six feet four inches with bushy hair and a ...read more
