Jesus weeps over the lost. Do we?

Candyman Or Doctor? Who Are You Looking For?

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 20, 2024

Jesus travels to Galilee and is greeted enthusiastically. However the Greeting is only with the hope of a great show, as those who he comes to preach to only want to see signs and wonders, and not the Savior from Sin.

The Doctor or the Candyman I was listening to someone talk about elections and democracy, and he dug up a great quote from the past. And by the past, I mean like 2500 years ago. Ancient Athens was the first democracy we know of, and Socrates, the smartest man of his time, hated the idea. This was ...read more

A Good Plan That Went Awry – Or Did It? Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 24, 2021

A unanimous apostolic plan that went awry, Jewish rumors, gentile riots, and an apostle getting a ride on Roman soldiers. The purpose of the Christian life is not to avoid problems; indeed, God can sometimes use our problems to further His plans.
