    Understanding the role of God in our lives is critical. We are called to be slaves to Him, to His power, and to His authority. It is when we try to take charge that we get into the difficulties of life.

  • Teaching Our Children The Way To Go. Series

    Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 23, 2013
     | 7,184 views

    From the beginning, the family has played a critical role in the outworking of God's purposes on earth. As the fundamental building block of society, it was designed to provide the context for the nurture and training of each succeeding generation.

    The family was also designed to reflect and flesh out spiritual truth. Scripture uses the imagery of the family to speak of our relationship with God in Christ. As believers, we are adopted children in the household of God (Rom. 8:15-17). We are also heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17; Eph. 1:11; 3:6). ...read more

One of the points of controversy about the film is that Mel Gibson didn’t portray a Pontius Pilate that was malicious enough. So on pondering this, I decided to try to research who the real Pontius Pilate ...read more
