    The Bride And The Other Woman

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 159 views

    Revelation contrasts two postures of faith: faithful love that waits for Christ, and religious power that bargains, manages, and uses God instead.

    We tend to feel safest when spiritual arguments stay at a distance. If the question is about systems, we can observe. If it’s about denominations, we can analyze. If it’s about institutions, we can debate. Those are comfortable conversations. They let us think clearly without being personally ...read more

    A message on forgiveness and settling "accounts" with people in terms of healing relationships.

    Today, is the leavetaking of the Dormition, and we are hearing the parable of the king who wished to settle accounts with his servants, so we are taking an account of things.

    In a world filled with distractions and challenges, the power of prayer remains a vital lifeline for our spiritual journey. As Jesus taught His disciples, understanding how to pray can transform our communication with God, guiding us to align our hearts with His will.

    >> Bible Verse Reading Luke 11:1-4 (NIV) One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom ...read more

     | 2,390 views

    We must forgive as we are forgiven. The same measure we use will be used to judge us.

    Last week I talked about how we need to meet people where they are at and accept them as they are and love them as Christ loves them. And some might here this to say that we are to love all the down and outs in our society, but the opposite is true as well. If we are one of the people who are ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,618 views

    As God has forgiven us He expects us to extend forgiveness to others.

    What can we learn from the parables? 1. God has forgiven us of a very large debt. The unmerciful servant was forgiven of a very large debt. One talent would purchase a slave; it is equivalent to 20 years= wages for the average man. The unmerciful servant owed his master 10,000 talents! There ...read more

    Can You Forgive Yourself?

     | 19,433 views

    So often we wallow in guilt and shame, long after we have asked Jesus to forgive us. What if we could be free of that for good? Is self-forgiveness biblical? If not, how can I move forward out of my despair? Peter is a case in point.

    John 21:1-19 Can You Forgive Yourself? Self-forgiveness is the big rage in pop psychology today. I did a quick search on Amazon.com this week, and came up with over 12,000 hits on the subject of self-forgiveness. Yet, the interesting thing is, the Bible has absolutely no mention of it at all! ...read more

    The church is not like the world. Christians should treat each other different the worldly people treat each other.
