Our Lord And Our Land Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

Paul was proud to be a Roman citizen. It was not because the empire was perfect, but because his citizenship gave him rights that were vital to his personal dignity, and to his service for God.

Human rights is a major issue in our world today, but it is not a new issue. Even under the Roman Emperor men had rights and they were precious. The Apostle Paul was unjustly arrested. He was about to be beaten when he calmly asked the Roman Centurion in charge if it was lawful to scourge a man ...read more

The Faith Of Thomas

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

Thomas should not be condemned or even criticized for his insistence upon empirical evidence. Thomas provides an exemplary modal from which we can learn more about the nature of convincing faith.

(If you have found this sermon useful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info.) When we think of the Apostle Thomas, we sometimes think of him in a somewhat negative light. The event involving Thomas in John 20:19-31 has given rise to the phrase, “Don’t be ...read more
