Trust Not In The Words "the Temple Of The Lord" Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 31, 2019

In Jeremiah’s words, there is murder, theft, fornication, perjury and the out-and-out worship of money. But we cannot forget the legal murder sanctioned by the Supreme Court.

Jeremiah 7: 1-15 “The Temple of the Lord. . .” We are encouraged by the Church to listen to the word of the Lord, as much as possible, with ears sensitive to their original meaning. In other words, we listen as the people of Judah, the Jews, would have heard them in the days of Jeremiah. They were ...read more

Did Judas Do Any Good? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 5, 2023

Judas got nothing good–not pleasure or honor or power. He ended up being the only person in the Bible whom God judged as being better off never being born.

Wednesday of Holy Week 2023 It does not seem terribly fair what happened to poor Kerioth-born Judas, as Matthew records it. He sells out Jesus for what in today’s currency would be about $260. Then, seeing Jesus condemned to death, he changes his mind and attempts to return the money to the ...read more

Whose Righteousness

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Nov 30, 2024

The wrong righteousness is unrighteousness and hence righteous mess.

Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.

Royalty Or Grunt

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 10, 2024

God being for us does not mean a life of ease and some of those living the high life here may find they are lost.

"God is for us. He's not against us." We sing that phrase as if He is going to make our lives all peachy keen with a ton of whip cream. When in reality it may include stones and whips. I am thankful that the OT prophets, the Apostles and all of the martyrs down the ages cannot ...read more
