Why Was Jesus Born Into A Family That Was Poor?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 5, 2018

Luke's gospel tells us that Mary and Joseph offered the poor person's sacrifice when taking Jesus to the Temple. Why would God have chosen for His Son to be born into a poor family?

We have no frame of reference on what it means. - When we look back in Leviticus, ...read more

Why Does Your Church Need You?

Contributed by Perry Anderson on Oct 6, 2013

We tend to think we go to church only to get, but in truth, we go to church to give. We don't go to church, we are the church and each member is valuable and needed.

Just as it takes every ligament to hold a physical body together, it takes each member in the body of Christ to do their part in order for the church to be strong and hold together. When each part functions the body grows and stays strong. When a part of the physical body fails to function or is ...read more

Herod's bad decisions, compromise, and pride created a prime situation in which to be taken advantage of and tricked into executing John the Baptist. We can learn from Herod and learn not to be so gullible.
