From Victim To Victor: The Widows Mite

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2018

A contrast between acquisitive Scribes, and a gift given out of penury.

FROM VICTIM TO VICTOR: THE WIDOW’S MITE. Mark 12:38-44. In our previous reading, Jesus pronounced one Scribe, ‘Not far from the kingdom of God’ (Mark 12:34). Yet Jesus’ opinion of the Scribes in general was not unlike His opinion of the Pharisees (cf. Luke 11:43). ‘The Scribes and the ...read more

There are close to 100 million Church members in America and yet, why are we not making more of a moral and spiritual impact? Why is it, that on Sunday morning, hundreds of churches have empty pews?

Triple "B" Religion

Contributed by Bruce Howell on Nov 11, 2004

The key to usefulness in the kingdom of God lies in the placing of our lives in Christ’s hands.

Triple “B” Religion ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I WAS IN SCHOOL, but I remember those dreaded words from the teacher, “Take out a pencil and a sheet of paper. Its pop quiz time.” What really amazed me was that the teacher seemed to know the nights I had not studied! Well, I’m not going to ask you ...read more

A Passion For The Ancient People Of God

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 5, 2017

Setting the scene for the whole discussion of Romans 9-11, Paul finds himself astonished at his own people's failure to embrace Christ.

A PASSION FOR GOD’S ANCIENT PEOPLE. Romans 9:1-5. From the dizzy heights of Romans 8:28-39, the Apostle Paul seems to suddenly hit an unprecedented low in Romans 9:1-5. The crescendo of the previous glorious chapter meets the jarring note of Paul’s passion for his own people - God’s ancient ...read more

A Sequence Of Sayings

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2018

A SEQUENCE OF SAYINGS. Mark 9:38-50. 1. John informed Jesus of “one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him because he follows not with us” (Mark 9:38).

Unbelieving Behaviour And The Grace Of God

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 28, 2019

The folly of living as if there is no God. A people made righteous by grace. Their persecution and deliverance.

UNBELIEVING BEHAVIOUR AND THE GRACE OF GOD. Psalm 14. The first verse of this Psalm is well known as an argument against those who deny the very existence of God (Psalm 14:1).
