Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

Fear, especially the fear of death, can turn us into slaves living in bondage. The devil uses fear to rob us of our freedom and abundant life. He uses fear to seize us, take hold of us, and suck the life right out of us! But the Son sets us free!

In John 8:36 we read, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” We all desire abundant life, but if we are held in bondage then we are not experiencing true life; and one major thing that holds us captive is “fear.” Frank Herbert, in his Dune Chronicles, says that the “fear ...read more

Blessed Are The Peacemakers?

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Aug 23, 2022

Why Jesus Healed The Sick

Contributed by William Mouser on Feb 5, 2006

The reason for Jesus’ miracles, is to validate his office, his mission, and his message. Today, miraculous healings are not badges of prophetic office, but are, instead, answers to prayer by those who have access to God through His Son Jesus Chr

One theme that immediately jumps out at us today from the lessons – particularly the Old Testament Lesson from 2 Kings and the Gospel lesson from Mark – is the theme of healing. The Old Testament lesson, of course, might be called the ultimate miracle of healing, when Elisha raises the Shunnemite ...read more

New Clothes/New Image

Contributed by Michael Trask on Dec 12, 2005

We sense that we’ve got an image problem. Like Adam and Eve before us, we try to fix it with clothing. But it can only be truly fixed with the garments of Salvation which our Lord provides through his Son Jesus

Do these go together or do they clash? Does this make me look fat? These are the kinds of questions we impose upon ...read more
