The Testimony Of A Pagan King Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Apr 20, 2015

Standing Up For What’s Right

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 3, 2017

Sometimes we have to stand up for what's right. We need to remember that God knows our plight, we need to fear God above people, and we need to humbly take a stand. The Hebrew midwives in Egypt stood up to Pharaoh, and God remembered them for it.

Mary, The Mother Of God

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

Elizabeth is Mary’s older relative, yet she considers it an honor that Mary should visit her. She even calls Mary “the mother of my Lord.” And so the Church has called Mary “Theotokos,” which means the bearer of God.
