How To Stand When It Is Difficult To Stand (2 Of 2)

Illus: Such is the case, when Dr. Odell Belger was starting in the ministry, as a young man in his mid twenties. When he was called to a church, the church had just had a ...read more

These crimes are so heinous: • Russian soldiers’ murder, torture, looting, rape against Ukrainian women, threats of violence, and inhumane treatment of POWs. • In Myanmar a massive wave of violence broke out in Rakhine State, forcing more than 700,000 people - half of them ...read more

Start Right #1 Series

Light Breaks

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 24, 2023

We cannot look directly at the light of God. So the light came into the world in disguise, so that people would be neither frightened nor blinded.

How many of you have watched a sunrise? It’s been a long time for me, I’m not a morning person, but I remember some spectacular dawns on camping trips.

Principle Of Harvest

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

When the church sows an immature, diluted, hybrid and substandard seed, DO NOT expect to reap a mature and strong church of Christ. What kind of disciples did Jesus have?

Opening Illustration: Somewhere in the world right now a farmer is dropping seeds into the ground. Soon those seeds will begin to germinate where they were planted. The carefully prepared soil that appears barren today will become a field ready for harvest. This prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi ...read more
