Glory Of Christian Leadership

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024

Many people treated Jesus like a celebrity as they followed Him from place to place, listened to His teaching, observed His miracles, and sought healing from His touch. Yet Jesus was never self-important or aloof, but available to all.

Opening illustration: In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, it isn’t surprising that entrepreneurs are marketing “celebrities as products … allowing them to sell their personal time and attention.” Vauhini Vara’s article in The New Yorker noted that for $15,000, you can have a personal meeting ...read more

Heavenly Minded Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 16, 2025

Why would the angels prompt the followers of Jesus to stop watching the sky for Jesus? Was it wrong for them to want Jesus to return? Or is there something else we need to see here?

Years ago, a famous Supreme Court Justice named Oliver Wendall Holmes said: “Some people are so heavenly minded, that they are no earthly good.” Now, I’m not exactly sure why he said that, but it has been true in the past.

Put on your beautiful clothes, O holy city of Jerusalem, for unclean and godless people will enter your gates no longer.” (NLT) All of us are aware that the elephant is a huge and magnificent animal, among wild ...read more

The Incognito Jesus

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 27, 2012

Frequently Jesus asked people He healed or those who received revelations about Him to keep it quiet and not tell what they knew. At other times His very appearance was altered to disguise His identity. Why did He choose to be incognito?

Family Matters

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 14, 2011

Sustaining The Storm

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 21, 2011

When we go through the storms all we see are the storms and try our level best to escape (but we can’t). But do we wonder whether there is a reason for it … Apparently in the midst of the storm God is - Working, Healing and Cleansing us.
