Seeking The Face Of Jesus Christ Series

Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 18, 2011

Historically, Jesus Christ’s physical appearance remains a mystery. No one knows what he actually looked like. Nowhere in the Gospel accounts is he described, and no likeness of him of any kind in any form can be dated conclusively to the years of His l

Loving Truth

Contributed by James Groce on May 4, 2003

Pontius Pilate even attempted to engage Jesus Christ in a philosophical discussion of the nature of truth when he asked “What is truth?”

******************* Loving truth 2 Thess. 2:10b “…because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” It is sobering to realize that this statement implies that we don’t naturally love the truth. Nor, for that matter, can we be saved without loving the truth. Jesus ...read more

Go On To Grow Up!

"congratulations! It's A Savior!" Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 25, 2021

Chapter 6- Ephesians Series

Contributed by David Thrower on Feb 14, 2006

This is a chapter of a book I am writing as a devotional on Ephesians. It has to do with Ephesians 4:11 and the office of the evangelist.

Chapter 11 As we continue to study the five-fold ministry gifts of Ephesians 4:11, one important ministry office comes into focus at this point – the evangelist. Normally when people think of the word “evangelist,” the mental picture is of a sweat-soaked man with big hair preaching in a tent and ...read more
