The Good Example Of A Crook

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 28, 2013

An Honest History (Genesis 12)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 17, 2024

Nations often give a dishonest history, leaving out the bad. Does biblical history give an honest view of patriarchs, prophets, and apostles? Let's look at Genesis 12.

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 1, 2011

It is a sickly, acrid, repulsive stench that makes you curl your face into an involuntary grimace and hold your nose. In the Valley of Hinnom, outside Jerusalem, refuse is burned continually day and night. Jesus uses it as a picture of Hell.

Matthew 13:36-43 - HELL, GOD’S WASTE MANAGEMENT CENTRE - Part 11 I watch as hell is washed inland with the momentum of an earthquake behind it, a wave of burning cars, buildings and debri.

You're Richer Than You Think

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Jul 27, 2007

The parable of the Shrewd Manager is an unusual story where the crook is commended. But Jesus has some important things to say about money and how we spend it.

“YOU’RE RICHER THAN YOU THINK” “You’re richer thank you think.” Or that’s what Scotia Bank would like you to think. This is a bit of a deceiving commercial, but duh, that’s advertising for you.

Which One Am I?

Contributed by Troy Borst on May 14, 2025

Spiritual self-awareness as a believer in Jesus means living in tune with God. It does not mean seeing others with eyes, listening to others with ears, and then responding with a judgmental attitude based on what we see and hear. None of us are as righteous as we think we are.

WHICH ONE AM I? LUKE 18:9-14 #SpiritualPride INTRODUCTION I was reading and listening in the Gospel of Luke the other week and a parable of Jesus smacked me right in the heart. I am going to share the parable with you today and see if it smacks you as well. The passage comes right after a ...read more
