Deafening Blow

Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on Dec 5, 2015

When great men stick to their plan that is not the failure of God to act on behalf of His children against the evildoers to right the wrongs to save them as promised through His mercy and His salvation plan.

Having, Losing, Choosing

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 31, 2009

Whatever we think we possess can be lost. God gives it to us for only so long as we need it, but after that it becomes an idol. We must choose to give away time, talent, treasure for things that do last, and for life itself.

Almost nothing that you and I count on to be permanent really is permanent. Almost everything that we think will last forever, it turns out, can be destroyed. Anything we have we can also very easily lose. We live in a monumental city. Capitol Hill, the monuments, the Federal Triangle, the White ...read more

Messy Grace Series

Contributed by Dave Vance on Jan 20, 2019

When Grace Meets Our Mess

What makes grace unmerited, undeserved, and unearned?

And because the word sin has fallen out of favor (Sin Is Out of Style), it ...read more

God At The Market Place

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014

A perspective on Mark 7: 1-23. When a trivial matter becomes a big issue more than likely we are following the ‘traditions of men’. Our focus therefore is on the wrong thing because we have forgotten God and do not have God’s love in our hearts.

Mark 7: 1-23 God At The Market Place The closing of chapter 6 is also the introduction to chapter 7 and our Gospel text. In which Jesus and his disciples have crossed Lake Galilee to the land at Gennesaret on the north-western bank of the lake. Gennesaret was a small, but a very fertile plain rich ...read more

Your Resources Are Insufficient. That's What God Intends.

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 20, 2022

It was never God's intention that our resources should be sufficient. He wants to show us what he can do with the little we have.

As we consider the world that we live in today; as we watch the news on television, as we read the paper, or more likely, read the news online; as we look around us, and consider everything that is happening in our nation and in the world, it’s easy to become discouraged and disillusioned. ...read more
