A Costly Memorial Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 7, 2023

As you think about what Jesus did for you on the cross, consider making a costly memorial, and start by giving Him yourself. Sure, people will criticize, but Jesus won’t. He’ll commend you before all your critics someday.

In Great Britain, a butcher specified in his will that he be cremated and that at his memorial service the organ was to play Cole Porter’s song, “Every Time We Say Goodbye.” Well, he got half his wish. He was cremated, but the organist brought the wrong Cole Porter Sheet Music. Instead of playing, ...read more

Where Are The Nine? (Thanksgiving)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 29, 2024

In this text we learn about an encounter Jesus had with ten lepers as He entered a village between Samaria and Galilee on His way to Jerusalem

As He made His Journey, He heard this pitiful cry from ten lepers “Jesus, Master”! Notice, they called him “Master”. They did not call Him “Teacher” or “Lord” or “Messiah” or “Son of David”, they called Him “Master”. Is this significant? Yes, they called Him Master because a more literal ...read more

-We Are Acts.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 24, 2024

Luke and Acts give us a great look at the ascension. How Jesus handled Himself for 40 days before He was taken up! Powerful!

-We Are Acts. Luke 24:44-53 The first four books of the New Testament are commonly called the gospels. The fifth book, The Acts of the apostles, is tied to Luke by common authorship.

No Longer Slaves But Sons

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 20, 2001

Paul’s converts in Galatia were compromising the purity of the Gospel and their liberty in Christ so he tells them What we were under the Law, What God did in Jesus, What God has made us as sons and What we now should be.

Many of the letters written by Paul, the Apostle, were the results of controversy. His letter to the church at Galatia is no exception. The local believers were on the verge of being sidetracked from the truth of the Gospel. Paul had to do something about it. "Stay on course", he urged them. ...read more

Into Thy Hands

Contributed by David Swensen on May 3, 2002

It is interesting how people leave this life. Some scream, plead and curse. Others go confessing, some go stoically waiting for the inescapable. Most go with fear and hopelessness. Certainly not the case with our Lord and it need not be with us.

Dr. Edward Wilson was the famous British doctor who went with Captain Scott’s expedition to the Antarctic. In 1891 as an undergraduate at Cambridge University he was nicknamed “Bill the Cynic.” He was argumentative, disagreeable and he had a sharp, bitter, nasty tongue.
