The Greatest Gifts Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 28, 2011

The Corinthian believers had powerful and impressive spiritual gifts, but Paul is essentially telling them those gifts don’t really impress God as much as three others that they seemed to have forgotten. What were those 3 gifts, and why were they better?

Kids learn quickly. But they see life and love from their own point of view. Asked what the thought about “falling in love” several children gave these answers: · Tom, age 5 - Once I’m in kindergarten, I’m going to find me a wife. · Glenn, 7 - If falling love is anything like learning how to ...read more

The Walking Dead!

Contributed by Steve Keeler on Jun 11, 2017

I look around me and see a world full of the living dead. The sad part is they don’t know they are dead. Paul reminds the Christ follower that they too were once part of "The Walking Dead". And at the time, we didn't know we were dead either!

“The Walking Dead” by Steve Keeler Ephesians 2:1-3 “1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we ...read more

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 30, 2011

The Politics Of Jesus

Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 30, 2023

Christians think they align with Jesus' views. Some are surprised, others offended. Jesus’ campaign sounds like a liberal utopia because we’re not ready to let go of hate, we’re not ready to trust in God and not in the law. We have to transcend hate and show the mercy we’ve been shown by God.

There are only two shows that I’ve ever watched the entire series. One of which I still own on DVD and have watched the entire series 3 times. If there was any show that I’d love to see still running today it would be this one. I’d love to see how it would interpret and respond to the issues of our ...read more
