Man's Anger - God's Righteousness

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 24, 2007

Moses was so mad he lost his leadership. Anger is a dangerous emotion that needs God’s guidance.

What makes you really mad? What do you do when you get upset and angry? Moses learned a hard lesson about anger in Numbers 20. Anger can make it easier to do wrong.

My Cousin Louie

Contributed by Rusty Wright on Jun 27, 2007

We all focus far too much on the things that make churches different rather than the faith that makes us all one in Christ.

My Cousin Louie 6-24-07 Galatians 3:23-29 I think we all know what it means to follow the “letter of the law.” It means you do exactly what you are told to do, no more, no less. And, often, when we tell somebody to do something, especially someone who works for us, we expect them to do it ...read more

Plastic Jesus

Contributed by Chip Blackshear on Jun 2, 2012

Too often we try to make Jesus fit our own desires. Instead of the real Jesus we want one that fits into our life neatly. That's a plastic Jesus.

The Villain Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Aug 23, 2024

It is important for us to understand the role The Villain plays in the story. He is not a guy in red pajamas carrying a pitchfork. He is the very worst of enemies and life can be very confusing if we don’t take into account that there is a Villain in the story. - John Eldredge

August 24, 2024 The Prologue concluded last week by telling us that Adam and Eve were naked, yet not ashamed. How long did this beautiful, peaceful, perfect situation last? We don’t know. God did not see fit to tell us the time span between the end of the Prologue and the beginning of the Big ...read more

You Christians Are Strange

Contributed by Edward Frey on Apr 12, 2002

Christians live in the shadow of the resurrection.

“You’re strange!” Those words might be heard on the school playground. The little boy who seems different from the rest – a bit odd – he’s strange to all the other children. It’s part of our human nature to point out apparent differences. We all do it in some way. Most of the time our ...read more

Embracing Grace

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

The vast majority of people do not "accept" Christ (Luke 4:24) but refuse the "favor" (grace) He offers (v. 19). God has sent Christ to offer His grace. We must embrace the grace offered in Christ. Luke shows us how.

There’s a key word in this passage that I would like to point out. It is not obvious in the English, so it’s a bit tricky. But the word ‘favor’ in verse 19 and the word ‘acceptable’ in verse 24 render the same Greek word, which is dektos. In fact, in the King James Version it is translated ...read more
