    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Apr 28, 2008
     | 3,516 views

    Hope is the opposite of despair; how can I "sanctify" Christ in my heart so I can defend the Gospel in this despair-filled world?

    Gentleness

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jan 2, 2013
     | 4,490 views

    Defending toe to toe seems to be the way of life; patience, kindness, gentleness seems to be passé! Children/adults later ape them. Watch out!

    Gentleness! ‘Let your gentleness be known to all men?’ (Philippians 4:5) The word ‘gentleness’ is archaic in this barbaric world! Take a look around and you will find aggressiveness, rebelliousness and boisterousness being hailed in reality shows and TV soaps, be it, ...read more

    Paul says to men: If you want to be a real man, “stand firm in the faith!” Men are to stand firm in both holding and defending the truths of the Gospel.

    On an Internet discussion board I found the following comments: Designer duds, hair gel, waxing appointments, manicures, and facials -- once upon a time, these terms were only associated with women, but nowadays, it seems, men are spending more time and money on looking good. Do the men you know ...read more

    Jesus Went On Trial And Noone Stood Up To Defend Him. Will You Stand Up And Be Counted?

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jul 30, 2024
     | 277 views

    The prophet Isaiah asked the question of the suffering servant “who of his generation protested”? And so we ask the same question “who protested at the time of Jesus' illegal trial and execution?” Of course, the answer to that was no one. No one stood up at the trial to support Jesus.
