Jesus is coming again, just as He left He will return!

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? ...read more

All God’s activity is loving activity. If He creates, He creates in love; if He rules, He rules in love; if He judges, He judges in love! He cannot change: for God is love! If we live in love we live in God. This is the Royal Law!

1 John 4:15-19 (NKJV) “The Royal Law of Love” February 4, 2024 The Apostle John wrote in verse 10, “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” The fact that Christ has borne all sin renders God propitious.

For the Sunday after Christmas I asked this question..."what if no one told the story? What if we gave up? If those who came before us had given up we would not be where we are now.

"Why John Did Outrun Peter"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 11, 2005

When John was running, the text indicates he was running with the mindset of “He loves me, he loves me, he loves me.”

Title of the Message: “Why John outran Peter?” John records that he outran Peter to the empty tomb? This message is speculation, but I believe that the trues are very acurate. In context John records that he is, “The disciple whom Jesus loved.” When Peter was running to the tomb, no ...read more

Taking Laughter Seriously

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Solomon was right, for laughter is not enough to give life ultimate meaning. But it is, nevertheless, a vital part of the meaningful life. Solomon is himself one of the key authorities in the Bible for supporting the value of laughter.

They came across a isolated cabin, and decided to check it out. When no one answered their knocks, they tried ...read more

Born To Love

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 8, 2018

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we have the capacity to love in the very same way God loves. But so many Christians don't understand what it means to love like God loves.

John 3:16 is a verse we learn very, very early in life, even before we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. My Mom and Dad, and I’m sure your Mom and Dad too, repeated this verse to us as children. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him ...read more

Encouragement Series

Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 18, 2011

I suspect all of us can identify a Barnabas or two in our past who gave us a second chance. Maybe it was a parent or a relative or a teacher or a church leader or a close friend. Christianity means second chances.

God wants to come to His world, but He wants to come to it through man. This is the mystery of our existence. He wants to come to this world through you. Proverbs 15:23 says, “A man has joy by an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word.” I enjoyed a Charles Schulz cartoon ...read more
