Not A Tame Lion

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 7, 2022

We like to keep things calm and happy in church, but one day Jesus really upset folks in his home synagogue. Are you ready to follow him?

You’ve heard me say before that I love The Chronicles of Narnia, written by C.S. Lewis. We read them over and over again to our children as they were growing up. Maybe a year ago one of them, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, came out in a very successful movie. That inspired me to read ...read more

Showcase For Saints Or Hospital For Sinners?

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

There is a temptation for us to put on our best front in church, a false front, and to especially welcome those who looked really good. But Jesus saw the church as especially for those who don't have it together and we will be wise to follow him.

When I was a boy, my mother used to tell us to be careful about the friends we picked. If you pick a study partner at school who doesn’t want to do school work, you won’t get much done. If you start going out at night and roving the town with kids who like to make trouble, it won’t be long before ...read more

"any Samaritans Among Us?"

Contributed by Darrell Campbell on Aug 24, 2022

You can love people and not be a Christian, but can you be a Christian and not exercise love?

An expert in Jewish Law asked Jesus a question about eternal life. We have no indication that the question wasn't sincere. Eternal Life was more than a duration, but the quality, even the rewards of it. The lawyer was correct in his answer to Jesus, at least textbook, but the man got it all ...read more

The Kind Of Religion We Should Lose

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 25, 2022

Sometimes we hear people say, “I am about to lose my religion.” Well, there is at least one kind of religion that would be good for people to lose.

The book of James speaks about such a religion. It is called the religion of DEAD FAITH. James evidently had some in his congregation who should have lost their religion. The book of James is living proof that our circumstances change but mankind never changes. We have evidences of that today ...read more

Forgiveness

Contributed by Matt Newburg on Aug 3, 2023

A Festival With A Difference

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Feb 4, 2018

What is Jesus' priority? Where do you find God in the midst of all our celebrations?

It’s a Jewish festival. We’re not sure what the festival is. Probably, the feast of Tabernacle or the festival of Purim or the festival of Shavuot. Doesn’t matter! It’s a festival. And hence, a celebration. On the top of it, it is Sabbath. The Holy Day for the Jews. In Jerusalem, by the Sheep ...read more
