Beyond The Veil

Contributed by Tim Diack on Jun 13, 2011

The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023

The original recipients of the invitation to the banquet (Matthew 22:1-7) refused to attend, giving flimsy excuses that resulted in their destruction (v.7). Who would attend the banquet now? Here is where we see the king's mercy extend to "the least of these".

The Christian band Sidewalk Prophets wrote a song entitled, "Come to the Table", based on the Parable of the Wedding Banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) and the call of God for everyone regardless of their situation to come to the table and take place in the celebration. The Wedding Banquet is ...read more

Polygamous Life (Genesis 30)

Things God Will Not Tell Us

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 19, 2020

God permits His people to think His thoughts after Him. However, our finite minds are unable to discover all that can be known of God and of His work in the lives of people.

“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” [1] You should always be suspicious of the one who claims superior knowledge. Should he claim to know the deep secrets of God, RUN! ...read more

When Two Remain Two: Marriage To An Unbeliever Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

As long as the divorce is sought by, and initiated by, the unbeliever, the Christian spouse is not enslaved to Jesus’ command not to divorce. Yet, the believer will plead with the unconverted spouse to change their mind on wanting a divorce.

It is the fabric of so many of our families where dad and mom set up a home. Their love is constant. Their love is normalcy. Romantic ...read more
