Doing Good

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 28, 2012

Galatians has a word or two on good deeds that sound a lot like the message of James. While James doesn't focus on the Spirit, and Paul centers there, the echoes of the faith are heard in both. It is impressive to note the parallels.

Just as faith without works is dead, James 2:26, James makes it clear that claiming to be religious without ...read more

Picking Up The Pieces Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 10, 2004

First in a series from Ephesians; and for the Day of Prayer for World Peace. Our lives and our world seem fragmented. But God brings order to our lives by choosing us; He redeems the messes we make; and He calls us to the work of restoration.

Do you experience life in pieces? Do you find that each day is a jumble of bits and pieces, fragments? That most of the time there isn’t any coherence, there isn’t any consistency?
