    Palmer Chinchen tells of the time when he went whitewater rafting down the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. The guide gave them some very important instructions after they put on all their safety gear.

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

    Seventh Sunday of Easter 2024 Today we celebrate the Seventh Sunday of Easter, so we have had six full weeks since our Resurrection day.

  • What About The Violence In Christian History? Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jun 9, 2002
    based on 37 ratings
     | 6,362 views

    We need to ask: 1) Why is there violence in Christian history? 2) Why is there violence in present day Christianity? 3) What can be done about it today?

    Sadly, there are many people today who reject Christianity because of the hypocrisy and inconsistencies of the church and individual Christians throughout history. They point to some of the ugly parts of the church’s past like the Crusades, the witch trials, and the Inquisition. The Spanish ...read more

     | 3,606 views

    As changes in worship style come, many will find the changes difficult to accept, but it will be easier if we see Liturgy as primarily a divine gift.

    May 4, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying, "Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them?" When the RSV translation talks about “the circumcision party,” we get an unintended pun in English. Literally, it refers to a ...read more

     | 1,939 views

    According to Numbers 5:17, even the dust of the Tabernacle’s floor possesses spiritual properties, it was mixed into holy water.

    God said, remove the sandals from your feet, you are standing on holy ground. The priests were barefoot in the Old Testament when doing the sacred rites in the Temple.

  • Legitimate Use Of Rituals Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 29, 2024
     | 827 views

    For a person to be declared righteous by God, rituals/sacraments are unnecessary. Justification is by faith alone. So, what is the value of rituals like water baptism and the Lord's Supper? Using Romans 4:11, this message seeks to answer that question.

    Intro Last week we expounded Romans 4:9-12. There Paul used Abraham’s experience to prove circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. In that study, we did not have time to talk about why God gave Abraham the rite of circumcision. If it is of no value for justification, then what is its ...read more

    We have to believe if we are goingto be.

    Michael Josephson writes that character counts. “Let’s face it: It’s not easy to become a person of character. It takes a good heart, but it also requires wisdom to know right from wrong and the discipline to do right even when it’s costly, inconvenient, or difficult. Becoming a person of ...read more

    Where tradition strays from Scripture’s teaching then tradition must give way and change.

    “ Firm Foundation” Galatians 1:6-9 Before we read to day’s text let me lay a little groundwork for this message, Most of us have heard of Martin Luther, Born in 1483 in Eisleben Germany, He became fully immersed in the traditional Catholic faith. His great intellectual bent ...read more
