Stand Down, Or Stand Up!

Contributed by Norman Lawrence on Jan 14, 2013

I believe today that America and the Church in America is at a Crossroad, and it is up to each and every one of us here to decide whether it’s time to “stand down” or “stand up”! I believe it’s time to stand up!

Down But Not Out!

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 3, 2018

When it comes to suffering, Paul calls us to forsake pity parties and glorify God. We can remember that Jesus shines through us, that our weaknesses glorify God, that we may be down but never out, and that our sufferings may bring eternal life to others.

2 Corinthians 4:5-12 Down but Not Out! A Christian need never suffer. At least that’s what some preachers might tell you. However, that is not the message of scripture. Jesus said, “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also” (John 15:20). We should expect no better treatment than that ...read more
