Me? A Priest? Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Oct 3, 2018

Being a priest is an AWESOME PRIVILEGE and AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY. Leviticus 8-10 is the ordination of Aaron and the death of Nabab and Abihu. In the NT, we are all priests!

Me? A Priest? Selections from Leviticus 8-10 My wife’s grandmother was a woman who always spoke her mind.

What Is A Christian?

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 2, 2020

I remember hearing a story of a young boy asking his father what is a Christian? After the father explained, the young boy asked, “Dad have I ever seen a Christian?”

The word Christian is a very loose term; at least we use it very loosely, and it has become, in America, a meaningless term. To some, it means anybody living in the United States, and is not Jewish. The term Christian has been so abused and diluted that it has very little meaning to most of us ...read more

The Journey From Bethlehem To Nazareth

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Mar 24, 2020

Everything Needs Jesus

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Mar 26, 2020

Strong faith can give us victory over fear. Although, Jesus rebuked the disciples for not having enough faith to deal with the storm, yet He calmed the storm. God is calling us into security and safety today and He wants us to acknowledge Him as our everything and the Lord that heals our diseases.

It is not unusual for some Christian to divide their life into compartments, allocating one area to themselves and the other to Jesus. Some people may allocate their family, marriage, health, finances, children, career, academic and other areas to themselves and leave their religious aspect to ...read more

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 23, 2019

Mary's response to Gabriel's message is surprising. The message is unexpectedly encouraging, yet the Bible says she was deeply troubled. Are there times when God gives us good news but we don't treat it like good news?
