    Contributed by Nieta Lambert on Feb 9, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,862 views

Yes, even those who are not ...read more

    What business does a foreigner have telling any nation to repent? Jonah was such a foreigner, but he ran away because he despised Assyria. Are we running away from God? Are we bigoted against other nations?

  • The True Solution To Violence Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 7, 2021
     | 2,955 views

    These are times that try our souls. When the secular parts of our world collapse under the weight of theft, fraud, lying and disrespect, violence solves nothing, and brings only more violence.

    Baptism of the Lord Jesus 2021 Reading St. Mark’s account of the baptism of Jesus, which is the shortest of the three Gospel accounts, I am struck by the language used just before the Father’s voice is heard from heaven. We heard that Jesus “saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a ...read more

  • Funeral Service: Step-Up

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 5, 2022
     | 1,783 views

    “Had I given up in that season of the loss of my first wife, had I given up and thrown [away] [God’s] strength and just started to living into addictions and living into my feelings and going out and living how I wanted to, I would not be living in the promises that I’m living today.”

    The spiritual step-up is increasing one’s faith and prayer life and service to God when a tragedy or trial hits you, like the death of a loved one.
