Christian Character Of Stephen The Martyr

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013

The would-be servant of God, whether waiting at table, ushering at the door, distributing to the poor, or preaching the gospel, must be of a blameless character and reputation.

THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF STEPHEN THE MARTYR. Acts 6:1-15.

Godly Anger

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 26, 2018

He poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables.

Lent3B. Today we have by far the most famous story of Jesus’ anger, yet none of the gospel writers mention the word anger in it, they said that he was “consumed with zeal.” I read a story of a little kid filled with a kind of zeal.

Contributed by Don Jaques on May 24, 2006

When a fictional story purports to tell the truth – and that truth directly contradicts the teaching of the Christian church over the past 2000 years – confusion is going to be the result. The power of books and especially movies to shape our thinking as

Renowned curator Jacques Saunière staggered through the vaulted archway of the museum’s Grand Gallery. He lunged for the nearest painting he could see, a Caravaggio.

Duct Tape Lessons For Dads

Contributed by Walter Swaim on Jun 17, 2009

Jesus used many things to illustrate His truths. For Father’s Day we discover God’s truths for fathering from the Bible through the use of every man’s tool: duct tape.

Today is a great day for men - Father’s Day. Jesus would often use objects to get His truth into the hearts and minds of people, so they would remember it easily for long time and get the point.

Helping Children To Know God

Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 10, 2015

Children need to know God's Truth; they can't simply take on their parent's beliefs, but need to understand and receive the truth of God on their own. Parents have a responsibility to guide children in the way they're to go.

Being a parent is an enormous responsibility. I can’t think of anything in life that’s more challenging. I’ve been to war, and I’ve had kids; war was easier. Proverbs 22:6 tells parents to “Train up children in the way they should go, and when they are old, they ...read more
