The Second Body Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Everything made by man is doomed. Only the God-made body, and the God-redeemed world can be the focus of the Christian hope. That is why Paul groaned and longed to be clothed with the heavenly body God had for him.

Most of us could tell true stories of our forgetfulness that allowed us to put a book, a casserole, or some other object on the top of our car, and then get in and drive off. Some of these stories will have sadder endings than others, but it is not likely any of our stories could match that of ...read more

Earthly Tents, Eternal Home (Funeral)

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 17, 2020

Today, we look to our future with hope and with courage because we know that Christ our Savior will lead us safely on our journey from earthly tent to heavenly home when our time comes … just as He has done for Guy and for all the saints who love Him.
