    When we come to church, remember to get to the right focus - God, and get to the right agenda - prayer, communion with God.

    We are looking at a rare glimpse of Jesus today – His anger over something He is passionate about. It pays for us to take note. If it can drive Him to behave in such a way, it must be something we need to take note of today. The Temple was a good thing. God commanded the people of Israel to ...read more

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 8, 2010
     | 3,958 views

It's a tough subject—sin in the church. This chapter can easily be misconstrued in several ways and I want to try ...read more
