The Question Of The Cross

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 4, 2023

Everyone who was there, at the cross, had a question, except the ones who were sure they already had the answers.. . What’s going on? What am I doing here? Who is that man, anyway? What am I going to do?

Conformity To The Cross Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

The Corinthians Christians had become arrogant, crowing like a rooster. To use a Texas idiom, they had become “all hat and no cattle.” In the words of Glenn Campbell, “A Rhinestone Cowboy.”
