Rest In Peace

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Dec 17, 2009

Many people think that you have to be dead to get rest, yet the Bible clearly states that we can and should have peace in our lives. In fact it should be something that defines us and separates us...

The expression means "may he / she rest in peace". Rest in peace probably sounds like a pretty nice idea to most of you here ...read more

Last week we found out the complexity of the Muslim messenger and the confusion of ...read more

"the Priority Of Preaching" ( Mark 1:14-15) Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020

Fellow under-shepherd, I've been there. I know the frustration you feel when it seems that you preached your heart out this past Sunday. You fed your flock the food of the Word and gave the message God placed upon you. I know what it means to study for long hours, to pray, to compose the ...read more

No Regret That Day

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on May 30, 2024
