    Why did Anna succeed under adverse circumstances and become a prominent figure in the Christmas story?

    “Anna” A study of Anna, the prophetess, as recorded in Luke 2:36-38, is a wonderful way to start the New Year.

    In This Corner

    Contributed by Cameron Conway on Aug 2, 2010
     | 2,844 views

    It all depends on which corner you stand in. in one corner you have God, Jesus and their Word. In the other is our opinions and traditions . Both have answers but only one side has the answers that are right and true.

    1 Corinthians 1:13 “Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?” Question? Can we be Christians without Christ? Question? Can we preach salvation without the cross? Question? Can we minister without the Spirit? Question? Can we accomplish our destiny ...read more

    Have you ever been in a situation where you were caught red-handed? Unfortunately, I have far too many of those stories in my background.

    The story is told of a young farmer who was drafted into the Confederate army to serve during the Civil War.

    The war was such a strain on the South that they did not have time to train the recruits. They drafted them to serve and placed them on the battle line to fight. This one young man was drafted and never had time to learn how: • To salute. • To keep in step as he marched. • Even, to know what the ...read more

    The Bible has a lot to say about love. But so does the world. The problem is that the world doesn’t say the same thing the Bible says, & we tend to get the two mixed up.

    MELVIN NEWLAND,MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX ILL. I like the story about a rather legalistic Seminary student who wanted to have a scriptural basis for everything he did. He felt he was on solid ground if he could quote Bible book, chapter & verse to ...read more

    A different look at the story of The Flood and Rainbow. How the rainbow reminds us of God’s grace restrains Him from doing what He COULD do, but chooses NOT to do. What we learn from the story about judgment and justice.

    Is there anyone here this morning who hasn’t at least heard something about Noah and The Flood? Is there anyone here this morning who hasn’t heard at least something about “Noah’s Ark?” I’m willing to bet that when you think about Noah and the flood, your mind usually goes directly to the “ark” ...read more
