    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 7, 2023
     | 2,089 views

    As you think about what Jesus did for you on the cross, consider making a costly memorial, and start by giving Him yourself. Sure, people will criticize, but Jesus won’t. He’ll commend you before all your critics someday.

He was cremated, but the organist brought the wrong Cole Porter Sheet Music. Instead of playing, ...read more

    Words have the power to evoke great emotions and passions in our lives. When Jesus said, I am the way, truth, and life no one comes unto the Father except by Me, what do these words mean to you? Are you born again, or have you rejected your only way into heaven?

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Nov 15, 2025
     | 175 views

    Joel. God wants to give his mercy and grace, and to pour out his love on all people. The book of Joel, the third of our minor prophets is a short read. This book of three chapters, is about God confronting and defeating evil. The name Joel while being a short name contains a lot of meaning; ...read more
