Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jan 15, 2025

Jesus is not healing, not teaching, maybe He is "line dancing" at a wedding. John only has 7 "signs". the word miracle is not used. Signs point to the "divinity" of Jesus, who is replacing all things Jewish with Himself

Third Rail: Sex Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024

We don’t talk about sex because it is only a symbol, a surrogate for what we really long for - a deep and unwavering connection of our soul to God’s heart.

There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex in polite company” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your job.” ...read more

Custody Battle

Contributed by Dwight Davis on May 23, 2024
