The Non-Decision Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 30, 2016

Pilate declares Jesus innocent so Jesus should be set free. But Pilate also needs to compromise so he makes a “non-decision”. Pilate’s decision seems better than the decisive decision of the chief priests to call Caesar their king however a non-decision about Jesus is still a decision against Him.

Message John 19:1-16a The Non-Decision. Have you ever been in one of those situations where you don’t really make a decision – but by not making a decision you actually make a decision? It might happen to a person who gets asked to join in on a Fun Run. You have to run 10km. You are not sure if ...read more

This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers ...read more

An Eager Unashamed Debtor For The Gospel

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000

Paul tells the believers at Rome why he is so eager to visit them; because he is a debtor to and is not ashamed of the Gospel.

I think that most people want to visit the capital city of their homeland. I remember when my parents took the family to London when we were in our teens. To visit the capital was quite an occasion, especially nearly 50 years ago when travelling wasn’t so easy as it is now. It was quite something ...read more
