    How important is the resurrection to us as Christians? It may carry more importance than you thought.

    I love this particular season. Easter holds with me a special place. There is just something about this particular time, and what it means to Christianity, that somehow seems to excite me.

    This is about Jesus conversation with Nicodemus.

    It is perhaps the best known verse of the Bible. Almost anyone can quote it, at least in paraphrase. It is the verse that every child learns in Sunday school and VBS.

    The Parable Of The Tares

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 18, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,350 views

    How does Jesus’ parable, which argues for leaving tares undisturbed, square with admonitions in the epistles to discipline errant members of the congregation?

    Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 As far as the parables of our Lord are concerned, the one before us in today’s gospel is certainly clear. Some of them are not so clear, even when our Lord interprets them for his disciples; and others are left in the gospel record uninterpreted. This one, however, is ...read more
