When God Spoke Through An Ass

Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 6, 2007

Don’t Worry, its not what you think. The Biblical (KJV) word for donkey is often a synonym for a fool. But as we will find, Balaam’s talking donkey was more wise than he was, and wiser than some we may meet.

The story is told of a man who bought a beautiful, exotic, tropical parrot from a local pet store.

To describe ourself as a "Christian" is an awesome responsibility that is not to be taken lightly. We must strive to live so that others might actually see the SPIRIT and the DIVINE NATURE OF JESUS CHRIST present in all that we say and all that we do.

What Does It Mean to Be a Follower of Jesus Christ? Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:1-2 ’Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling ...read more

Serve Like Jesus Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 8, 2013

The Royal Law - James 2:8-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2021

We tend to disguise our sinful favoritism under the guise of loving our neighbor. Favoritism seems like love towards those we favor, but James shows that it’s really a violation of the royal law of love.

The Importance of the Command Is anybody here interested in seeing the most important ...read more
