Drawing Lines In The Sand

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Dec 26, 2010

The birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Christ are the "turning points" in world history. It is interesting to note that the purpose of the BC / AD dating ...read more

Clocks Not Allowed

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 21, 2025

I think for the Church to really have Jesus reign and the Spirit to move in the services we need to take the clock off the walls, leave the cell phones and watches in the car.

I think for the Church to really have Jesus reign and the Spirit to move in the services we need to take the clock off the walls, leave the cell phones and watches in the car. God is not always on our time schedule. Better to get out of the "morning" service at 4PM filled, healed and ...read more

Turning The Other Cheek

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

The religious leaders of the world can quote their wise and holy men in ways that show they too have many of the values of the Sermon on the Mount. But they have nothing to match the teachings of Christ on the love of one's enemies.

Almost everybody agrees with the Sermon on the Mount in general, but almost nobody can agree to the specifics of the last part of chapter 5. Even Nikita Krushev, an atheist, when he was the leader of Russia, could say he agreed with the Sermon on the Mount, for even in Russia they do not consider ...read more

Who Is Chief Of Sinners?

Contributed by Jeff Hatos on Aug 2, 2018

Paul identified himself as chief of sinners. Is this a right assessment or does someone else deserve that title?
