Loving Others At Their Worst

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 9, 2017

The more intimate a relationship is, the more certain we are to experience the worst side of a spouse, child, parent, friend... Jesus loved--and yes, loves--us at our worst, and beckons us to be his ambassadors by doing the same for others.

LOVING OTHERS AT THEIR WORST I. Introduction - Not long ago I read the story of a man who came to love a woman named Helen, who was a drug addict. She was living with an abusive man who supplied her drugs and in return used her for his pleasure. But another man, an honest and virtuous man, ...read more

The Why And How Of Church Unity

Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Nov 15, 2014

We must be very clear on the fact that Jesus was very passionate about the unity of the church that He had to take it to God in prayer.

Sometimes ago, I did a write up on the subject "Crisis in Christ". It borders on the competition and irreconcilable difference among the supposed believers in Christ and the different denominations they belong to. There appears not to be an end to the war tearing the body of Christ apart. Today, ...read more

Refresh (7) Honor Series

Contributed by Michael Monica on Jul 15, 2017

Who is God

One of the things that really stands out to me in the Bible is that Jesus said that our love for one another (believers) would actually reveal that we belong to Him and the world would know that Jesus is sent from God. our love for one another would be supernatural.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Apr 5, 2014

God has chose us; to reveal Jesus into our lives; as our Lord; who in turn reveals God the Father; to forward his divine purpose on, and then return us to him in heaven. Simple really.

We Can Live In Perfect Peace

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 3, 2017

Jesus says the world will treat His followers just like it treated him. But He says that we can have peace in the midst of the persecution. Sadly, we don't see peace operating in the lives of most Christians. Why not?

If you spend any length of time listening to or reading what the media (conservative and liberal) are saying about politics, which is most often focused on President Trump, and social issues like racism, the anthem protests, BLM, the Alt-right, etc., you might believe our country is teetering on ...read more

The Prayer Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 27, 2017

The Our Father in Matthew 6 is typically referred to as the Lord's Prayer. But really, John 17 is what should be called the Lord's Prayer because it literally is the prayer of Jesus. Jesus' longest recorded prayer has much to say and there's much to gain.

Fitting In

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 13, 2011

comedian Lenny Bruce gives our Christian psychology a metaphorical cattle prod shock when he said, “Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.’” I suspect it has a lot to do with fitting in.

“Fitting In” John 17:11-19 I read the prologue to a story called Girl in the Middle. The girl is Kim Satinsky who is in eighth grade. She says, “You would think that being in a clique is fun but take my word for it: It’s not. They make me wear expensive things when I’m not really rich and tell me ...read more
