Truth In Shepherding

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 28, 2023

If we follow the true shepherd, its better to be a sheep in God’s pasture than anything else in the world.

Just about everybody knows, I think, that one of the reasons God so often calls his people sheep and himself the shepherd is because sheep are so stupid. What I don’t think people realize is that sheep were also incredibly valuable. Sheep were one of Israel’s most important economic resources. A ...read more

Some of the biggest issues were trade and taxes, sound familiar? “Fast Track” and IRS reform, 18th-century style. I suppose it’s always ...read more

The Way Of Truth Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Apr 7, 2025

The way of truth is a foundational concept in the Christian faith, calling believers to a life aligned with God's Word and the example of Jesus Christ. It is a path that requires dedication, discernment, and a deep commitment to living out the truth in every aspect of life.
