A Sacrificial Heart

Contributed by Dennis Lee on May 21, 2023

A Christian’s heart is a sacrificial heart. It’s a heart that offers God the whole of who we are because of Jesus’s sacrifice, giving His life as a sacrifice for our sins.

An Eggsample Of Folly

Contributed by David Nolte on May 12, 2021

We are often like the character Humpty Dumpty. Peter was too.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again! There is more than a nursery rhyme there. It is a parable of life, its injuries and the failure of human effort alone. This is an EGGsample of ...read more

The Church

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 16, 2006

Had the church been built upon any other person than Christ, it would never be able to withstand the torment of Hades. It is not one of the wonders of this world - it is THE wonder of this world.

A huge metal structure was built in 1889 for an international exposition.
