Glorying In The Cross

Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 15, 2020

According to Merriam Webster, glory in something means to show joy or pleasure because of (something). What do we glory in? Is it temporary or eternal? When you glory in the cross you can have joy and faith in the very thing that was used to bridge the gap between God and man.

This is the conclusion to Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Not long after the gospel was preached here and people were saved, there came in a group of people who were called Judaizers. They taught that is was not enough for a person to just embrace Jesus Christ, but that they also had to embrace the ...read more

Conformity To The Cross Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

The Corinthians Christians had become arrogant, crowing like a rooster. To use a Texas idiom, they had become “all hat and no cattle.” In the words of Glenn Campbell, “A Rhinestone Cowboy.”

A journey to an another land – and older land – where the goals of Christianity were not set by marketers in order to make it more palatable. Instead, the agenda was set by prophets who sought holy, ...read more
