     | 10,100 views

    Like it or not, death intrudes on our lives all the time -- our friends die, our loved ones, and eventually death comes to claim our lives. Jesus says he is the resurrection -- that if we believe in him, even if we die, we will live. But do we really be

    Have your dreams died? Do you think the future holds no hope for you. Think again! God can raise up things that have died.......if He can get us to believe Him.

    Death is definitely not a subject that is high on our list of topics for discussion. It seems so contradictory to say, but the truth of the matter is, that, death is a part of life. Death is an unavoidable, inevitable experience. It is the last experience we encounter in the physical, natural ...read more

    The poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks, recently deceased African-American poet, illustrates how a commitment to justice begins with hope, turns to a sense of responsiblity, rises to act, but also acknowledges the depth of human sin.

    The dateline was to be Little Rock, Arkansas, September 1957. The story was to be about the vicious hatred of a city whose people were resisting justice and terrifying school children. Little Rock, Arkansas, where Governor Orval Faubus had become the symbol of massive resistance, and where an ...read more

    God's Presence In The Silence

    Contributed by David Washburn on Oct 31, 2002
    based on 81 ratings
     | 16,702 views

    We often times interpret God’s silence to mean he is absent, but the truth is that God’s silence is an opportunity for Him to draw us closer and prepare us for an even greater revelation

    Silence is something most of us aren’t comfortable with. The brief 20 seconds I stood before you, looking at you in silence may have seemed liked an eternity. What were you thinking as we looked at each other in silence? We will many times equate silence with something being wrong and will rush to ...read more

    Why do Christians still wear ’grave clothes’ when they ahve been raised from the dead?

    LAZARUS – JOHN 11 Even the most biblically illiterate person has heard the story of the raising of Lazarus. It is a very familiar story to many of us.

    Jesus saw something in Thomas more than the doubts, fears and frustrations that Thomas had. Jesus called him because he saw a man who would have faith to the end.

We have all heard of “Doubting Thomas”, the disciple who refused to believe in the resurrected Lord until he saw Jesus and felt of the wounds in ...read more
