Stones and Glass Houses Most of us are familiar with the old adage: People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones. This is actually a warning against hypocrisy. Before you go accusing someone of some wrong doing, make sure that you too are not guilty of wrong doing because your ...read more

West Virginia isn’t one of them. West Virginia is one of the states who is relying on legislative Defense ...read more

A country boy went to visit a friend in New York City. It was about noon and they were downtown by Times Square in Manhattan. The streets were filled with people.

The Spiral Stair Series

The Parable Treasure And Pearl / I Surrender All

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jul 28, 2011

What, then, do the parables teach? Church fathers such as Irenaeus and Augustine identified the treasure and the Pearl with Christ. The recent convert to Christianity says exactly the same thing: "I found Christ." Yes, it seems like we did find Christ.

In his series of seven parables in Chapter 13, Matthew is quite elaborate ....... on the first two, providing an interpretation for each. The other five are shorter and more pointed in content. The parables of the hidden treasure and of the pearl consists of two sentences each. And in the ...read more

Sin, Stones, And Forgiveness

Contributed by James Chandler on Jan 11, 2007

It is not a question of IF we have sin in our lives, but how we deal with sin in our lives. In John 8, we see how Jesus helped an adulterous woman deal with the sin in her life, and he will do the same for you and me.

How humiliating would that be? We all know we have sin in our life, we just don’t want everyone else to ...read more
