    Precious Life

    What God says is what matters. Human life is very precious to God.

    There is ample evidence in the Bible that God views human life differently than He does any other life form. One presidential candidate recently said, “I will be a president to the animals, too, because I stand for animal rights.” There are people who have waged war with their city hall in order ...read more

    Stutzman, an old order Amishman who built a chair for the return of Jesus, was wrong about a lot of things. But he had a passion for the presence of God. Do we?

    Jonas Stutzmann’s Chair for Jesus I Corinthians 3:10-19a February 3, 2008 On a chilly, rainy day in October of 1871, Jonas Stutzmann was buried in the old Stutzmann cemetery in Holmes County, Ohio.

    Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, believes it’s extremely important that you and I know who we are...in Christ. What we think about our identity—who we are-- can make all the difference in how live this life...in Christ and do Kingdom work.

    I think we have an identity crisis in America...and quite possibly around the world. So many young people gain their identity from the latest fashions, trends or from their friends. Many Christians today, also, have an identity crisis. Most of us perceive our identity more from our family, our ...read more

    A Voice From The Beach

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 29, 2014
     | 6,903 views

    A perspective on John 21: 1-14. Like the disciples in the boat who listened to the voice of a ‘stranger’ from the beach, somehow you too will know at the right time where to ‘cast the net.’ At that time, you too will say with joy, “It is the Lord.”

    John 21: 1-14 A Voice From The Beach The Gospel according to John closes with one more miracle given by Jesus. Although it is the final miracle recorded in the Gospel, it is the first of his resurrected life. It happened this way: Some of the disciples of Jesus were sitting about on the shore by ...read more

    In Matthew 22 Jesus actually gives us the secret of life that so many search for.

    What is the secret of life? Have you ever been asked that question? Or maybe you have asked that question yourself in one of those kind of quiet, contemplative moments in your life. Maybe one crystal clear summer night you were lying on your back on the grass looking up at the millions of stars ...read more

    For the disciples, the death of Jesus appeared to be the death of all their hopes and dreams, but those who lived through both Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday never doubted God again. Easter transformed them and the world.

    The Perils Of Contentment

    Contentment is a trap, because it keeps us from growing in ability and interior commitment.

    Recently we were viewing one of the original episodes of the Twilight Zone. A successful but elderly actor was ruminating over his long career, and his multiple marriages, and told his butler a secret. He said that in his whole life, he had only one length of time in which he had felt true ...read more

    In the last few weeks, people searched for the perfect Christmas gift, hunted for bargains, decorated their homes, burned candles, over-ate, wrapped some packages and tore others open; and by tomorrow morning stores will fill again, as the gift return season begins.
