Chocolate Covered Strawberries: The Fruit Of Self-Control Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on May 10, 2007

Your Declaration Of Independence

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Nov 4, 2006

The Muslim Maze, Pt. 4

Contributed by Dave Kinney on Nov 29, 2004

This series could be summed up this way...Jesus raised the dead and Mohammad killed the living. Jesus healed the sick and Mohammad harmed the healthy. Jesus released the oppressed and Mohammad enslaved the free! And it’s still happening today!

“The Muslim Maze”, Pt. 4 Matthew 7:15-20 I just want to go on record as saying again; these 4 weeks have not been a Muslim bashing with hate. But rather it’s been an Islamic exposing with truth.

You Are Greatly Loved!

By Grace Alone Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 2, 2017

“the Paradox Of Blessedness!” Series

Contributed by Douglas Sherwood on Oct 10, 2015

Though salvation is free, when you accept Jesus as Lord, God does not promise the road will be easy. What He does promise is that He will not give us more than we can bear, and that He will be with us always!

What does it cost? That is a question we often ask when purchasing something. We way what the perceived value is, and what the asking price is, and if we think it’s a good enough deal, we take our hard-earned money, and we purchase it. Sometimes we buy cheap and we get cheap . . . Ever ...read more

Who Is Your True Mother?

Contributed by Malcolm Rogers on Apr 14, 2016

Where are our true origins? We can only be free from death and law and the need to justify ourselves when we realise that our real mother is not from this world, but that we are children of the heavenly Jerusalem, of the promise of God

Paul writes, ‘The other woman corresponds to the Jerusalem above; she is free and she is our mother’ (Galatians 4.26) It is strange language. Why not ‘home’? It would make more sense But when Paul talks about ‘our mother’, he is speaking of our origins. Our ...read more
