No Sleepwalking Allowed Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 28, 2023

Sleepwalking is a dangerous practice, because those who practice it are unconscious, unaware of the dangers around them. In the same way, spiritual sleepwalking is dangerous, but moreso, because those who casually sleepwalk their way through life, expose themselves to deadly deceptions.

Has anyone here ever been afflicted with somnambulism? Okay, does anyone even know what somnambulism is? Well, it's a technical term for sleepwalking. So, back to the original question--has anyone here ever had a sleepwalking experience? How did it go? Did anyone get hurt? The reason I ...read more

Rejecting Rejection Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

Jesus was despised and rejected of men, but he was only rejected by the leaders of Israel, and the mob they got to support them. Paul had all this plus. He was rejected all over the world, and not just in Jerusalem and by Jews.

Paul is the most traveled man in the New Testament. He covered much of the known world of his day, and his ambition was to go to the end of the world. The furthest point West that man could then go was Spain. Spain is only mentioned twice in the New Testament, and both times by Paul in Romans 15. ...read more
