    There Is A Stream Whose Runlets Gladden The City Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 4, 2025
     | 153 views

    The key phrase in today’s Scriptures is from St. Paul. Writing to the church of Corinth, Paul lays out a rhetorical question, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”

    based on 4 ratings
     | 953 views

    Jesus disrupts the old system of death and sacrifice, bringing in a new system of love and mercy. He challenges corruption and exploitation, and disrupts our lives to remove anything that hinders us from living abundantly in His love.

    Imagine you're at your favorite concert, but instead of enjoying the music, people are selling stuff and ripping you off. That's what Jesus walked into at the temple. People were supposed to be worshipping God, but instead, they were making a quick buck. Jesus was not cool with that. He flipped ...read more
