     | 6,236 views

    Christians wait and watch for Jesus’ return. We know the season, but we don’t know the time, and we live in the paradox.

    Mark 13:24-37 “Reading the Times” INTRODUCTION There is probably not a day that goes by that we don’t wait. We might wait for a train at Bell and Grand, or wait in a line at the grocery store, or twiddle our time away waiting to see a doctor. Waiting is a part of lives, even though none of ...read more

    Judgement? Or Fraternal Correction

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 4, 2022
     | 1,376 views

    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

    Nevertheless: The faithfulness of God.

    AN EVERLASTING THRONE Psalm 89:27-37. There is a tension in this Psalm, between the LORD’s promise of an everlasting dynasty for the line of David (Psalm 89:3-4; Psalm 89:28), and the complaint of the Psalmist (Psalm 89:38). However, the LORD’s “Nevertheless” (Psalm 89:33) trumps the ...read more

    The flooding of the earth had accomplished its purpose. Noah and his family exited the Ark to witness the chaotic effects and consequences that the world's disobedience brought upon itself. This was a new opportunity for man to renew their relationship with God. Sadly, it did not last long.

    The Ark had kept Noah, his family, and the animals on board safe for over a year as the flood waters receded around the world, forever changing the geography, atmosphere, relations with the animal kingdom, and the life span of Noah's sons and wives, all commissioned by God to repopulate the ...read more
