How many of you have had the experience of praying to God and it seems like God is not listening or not answering your prayer? All of us, I would suspect.

Diverse Yet One Blood

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 30, 2024

All men are my temporal brothers through the Creation. Some men are my eternal brothers through the new Creation.

Is it not amazing that we love and admire the diversity the Lord gave us in fauna and flora, but get crazy in the small diversity He made in humans with only one color with varying shades. Asians have 2% more fat in their eye area causing their eyes to look different. SO for that people have hated ...read more

Don't Excuse Yourself From God's Banquet Of Salvation

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Nov 19, 2003

In the parable of the great banquet Jesus gives us a graphic warning about excusing ourselves from God’s feast of salvation in time and in eternity.

“Are you looking for just the right excuse for a certain situation? Ask your pastor he has heard them all.” Although more of joke than advice there is some truth to it. Pastors do hear a lot of excuses. But I think it would be more correct to say that only God has truly heard all the excuses ...read more
