Could Even Judas Have Been Forgiven? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2025

Did Judas have to lose hope? On the third day after Jesus died, when the apostles gathered in the Upper Room, would there have been room for Judas Iscariot? He was, after all, one of the Twelve, chosen by Christ.

Monday of Holy Week 2025 St. John the Evangelist probably had three or four decades or more to contemplate the life and fate of his fellow disciple, Judas Iscariot. He then wrote his clear and crisp description of the man’s moral character. The incident described Mary of Bethany ministering to the ...read more

Have We Become The Church Of Casual Christianity?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Sep 3, 2023

A cold church is a dead church, but a hot church is alive. Flies do not land on a hot stove.

Or does it refer to the church members, the individual Christians? Look at the churches depicted in Revelation chapters two and three. • Ephesus ...read more

What Do You Have In Your Hand? Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Apr 20, 2023

How many of us lie awake at night worrying about some problem or other. Sometimes, we forget what we have or how God has helped us in the past. Many times the answer is right in our own hands. It is all about hearing God, believing and taking action.

Have We Lost Our Churches To Worldliness? Series

Contributed by Eric Agyei Febiri on May 18, 2023

Churches are expected to guide and form the conscience of society and people by pointing out the truth without fear or favour. Some of our churches today however, have lost their moral authority to the world because of power, fame, and money by their leaders.

Morality is now measured by the votes of the Senate and the Parliament, and not the individual conscience. Civil authorities and those in power now vote to decide what is sin and what is not sin, what is lawful and what is unlawful. And this has now crept into our Churches, but Church leaders ...read more

What Does Love Have To Do With It?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 25, 2023

John 13:31-35 contains perhaps the most remarkable command given to Christians: that love for others is the characterizing indication of faith for ''all individuals,'' denoting the existence of a genuine believer.

Jesus outlines this as a new commandment, utilizing His own model as the norm. In giving this charge, Jesus indeed predicts His looming demise and exit from earth. To cherish others was not another new commandment (Leviticus 19:18), but rather to love others just as like Christ loved others was ...read more
