Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 22, 2011

As Christians, we have responsibilities on earth (family, work, school, society, etc…), but we must always remember where we ultimately belong (we are citizens of heaven)!

If Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God on earth, how was His growing up? God gives us a glimpse of ...read more

These are gifts that hold ...read more

Correct Connection In Christ

Contributed by Dave Kinney on Jul 12, 2004

The average Christian doesn’t know the difference between union with Christ and communion with Christ: (verse 5 is ...read more
