Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Apr 14, 2009

Good Friday: Behold the man; behold the king; behold your God. Gaze upon the man upon the cross and ask yourself "who do you see?"

WHO DO YOU SEE UPON THE CROSS? I have made it a tradition these last four years or so to watch Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion.

Colossians 1:24 (The Sufferings Of Christ)

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 16, 2007

Christ still has more sufferings to complete, says St Paul. Really! I thought He died once for all upon the cross, and that was it? Apparently it’s not that simple!...

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 10, 2012

An easy-to-read and easy-to-understand study on Revelation 9.

In Mel Gibson’s movie, “THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST”, there was one detail that most people missed. That one detail said so much about whom it was that actually punished Jesus.

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016

Now with the media tracking you and keeping you accountable, the way you live out your life daily will send a message to others who you really are and what is your calling. This should not stop you to live out God’s call.

A little boy was not exactly happy about going to church on Easter Sunday morning. His new shoes hurt, his tie pinched his neck, and the weather outside was just too good to be cooped up inside. As he sulked in the back seat of the family car, he complained to his parents: “I don’t see why we have ...read more
