Is Christ Still In The Manger?

Contributed by Troy Mcgahan on Apr 30, 2015

While I am thankful that the world at large recognizes the birth of Christ there are many "Holiday Church attendee's" that leave Christ in the crib. He no longer is in the crib nor on the cross. He has victoriously overcome death hell and the grave.

Is Christ still in the Manger? Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. Luke 2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of ...read more

I Believe In The Holy Catholic Church Series

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jun 10, 2012

A Servant Church Loves Series

Contributed by Alvin Hathaway, Sr. on Mar 16, 2009

If the Servant Church models itself after Jesus Christ who ultimately taught us what a servant is: then the Servant Church must love God, it must love the children of God, and it must keep His commandant to love.
