Rejoice

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Jan 8, 2023

Joy is so much different than happiness. All joy truly comes from God. Chris's birth returned the joy of we lost when we left the Garden. We have re-joyed or in better terms, rejoiced!

We pick a prefix and each of us took a turn, and it had to be a real-word, until somebody couldn’t think of one, and they were out. Think of ...read more

More Than A Prayer (1) - "our Father"

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on May 31, 2021

The Lord's prayer is one of the first prayer a christian learns to recite. It is a prayer guide given by Chris to his disciples. A careful consideration of it shows that it is much more than a prayer guide. It points us to who God is, from the mouth of his son.

Dealing With Doubt

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000

When it comes to Chris-tian truth, God doesn't want us to be skeptics, but I don't think He wants us to be gullible either. In fact, our faith can be strengthened when we ask tough questions and even when we struggle with doubts.

Some people are natural skeptics. My Grandfather was one. When man first landed on the moon in July of 1969 and the TV pictures came back from the lunar surface, my Grandpa thought it was all being faked. He figured those pictures were coming from a desert somewhere in Arizona. Sometimes he was a ...read more
