    Grace is stricter than the law. Since the grace of God is given to us, we in turn should bestow that same means and measure of grace upon others. They do not deserve it, but neither did we.

    The Second Mile and Beyond ----Take Another Lap------- Matthew 5:38-42 38 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if ...read more

    For at this chapter begins that which is called the passion-week. He rode in on a donkey. When we get to thinking too much of our self, we need to remember, we are just donkeys carrying the WORD. The glory goes to Jesus.

    Where Is God When It Hurts?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 22, 2025
     | 130 views

    When life hurts, God’s presence sustains, His sovereignty prevails, and His purpose transforms suffering into glory through the Cross of Christ.

    There are times when life just doesn’t make sense. You love God. You serve Him. You try to walk uprightly. Yet pain seems to find you like a heat-seeking missile. You look around, and the wicked are prospering, the proud are climbing, and the people who mock God seem to have the easiest lives of ...read more

    Why is there so much emphasis on the blood of Jesus in the Bible? What difference does it make that Jesus died on the cross and then rose from the grave?

    Once we have received Christ as our Lord and Savior, everything changes! Not only are we washed clean, but have a true Calling to serve Him! Here we examine what Christ has asked us to take into account before jumping right into this calling.
