    Jesus gave up His Divinity, voluntarily and willingly, in order to become a man. The divine glory was exchanged for human lowliness. He emptied Himself of His DEITY to take upon Himself His HUMANITY. He stripped himself of the insignia of majesty. What wa

    God is not a God to be trifled with. God is not a God to take for granted. Even if our observation of the world leaves us perplexed and confused, God has revealed himself to us in his word. He’s revealed his plan for the world to us. He’s told us what he’

    You could be forgiven for wondering, as you read through this book, what the writers view on God is. At times he seems like a secular humanist. A little bit jaded by his experience of life; quite cynical about life on earth; almost pessimistic at times about our chances of succeeding in life with ...read more

    All forms of loving require greater or lesser degrees of vulnerability. Anyone who determines to be a lover needs to understand that there is a price tag involved for them.

    Funeral sermon for Buford Pervall: deacon, usher, church clerk. To know your own value means that you learn to trust God in large matters and you seek positive change.

Isn’t that an apt description of our time, when we will pay inflated prices for houses, we will spend $75.00 to fill up our SUV’s, and will hire basketball coaches for forty million dollars ...read more

    Re-Discovering The Resurrection

     | 2,704 views

    Emotions ran high for those who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How those emotions changed and what changed them made the difference between faith and disbelief.

    For many of us, when I say the word "Easter" or "Resurrection Sunday" or even "Third Day" it brings things to mind. If you are a Christian you may think of the empty tomb, or of the angels and Jesus’ visit to the disciples. If you are not a Christian you might think of the Easter Bunny or "maybe I ...read more

    Are your eyes open?

    Seeing The Unseen A lot of skeptics laugh at Christians because they say that we have blind faith. We cannot see God and yet we believe in Him. We believe in souls, angels, Heaven and Hell yet we have not seen any of these things. Skeptics and Atheists say that they only believe in what they ...read more
