Reluctant Recruits

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 1, 2018

Jesus did not present a rosy, unrealistic picture of the Christian life. In Luke 9 we encounter 3 potential recruits. Jesus appraises their resolve, exposes their excuses, and urges them to consider the cost of discipleship

It’s Career Day at the high school and a small crowd is gathered at the Army’s booth. A Recruiter tells the students about field duty in the winter, eating MRE’s, family separations, grueling physical exercise, frequent moves, and the likelihood of war…and pretty soon he’s standing alone.

The First Six Seals, Part 1

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 13, 2014

In years past, classroom literature textbooks used in American schools, both public and private, reinforced both Christian values of ethics and morality. In most public schools today, such things are no longer given to our children to read. This does not bode well for the future of democracy.
