"nimrod's Folly"

Contributed by John Huyser on Sep 5, 2023

From Sunday School I remember vividly all sorts of lessons on The Tower of Babel. I think almost all of them missed the mark. The issue is far less the Tower of Babel - in fact the tower is a symptom of humanity wanting to do their own thing without God. Jesus came down to reverse that.

It was a moment of folly, a church in Northwest Iowa prefers to forget. Busting at the seams, they broke ground on a new building in the early eighties. Their sanctuary and parking lot would double in size. Featured too were a large kitchen and fellowship hall and many a classroom and extra ...read more

"learning To Renew Your Mind" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 3, 2020

The cross, especially in the day of Jesus, stood for persecution; it stood for suffering; it stood for death. So anyone who elected to follow Christ-they knew what they were getting into. If anyone would come after me you must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
