    Not As Easy (Or Hard) As It Looks

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 23, 2025
     | 93 views

    Being a Christian isn’t as easy as we think—our best efforts fall short before a holy God. But it’s not as hard as it looks either, because Christ has already done the impossible for us, giving us His Spirit and His strength to live as His people.

    GOOD MORNING. There were definitely times that I thought that being a pastor would make it easier to be a Christian. I realized how foolish that was even before going to seminary watching some rather famous pastors fall very publicly to temptation in the 80’ and 90’s. And this isn’t about beating ...read more

    Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity. This is what separates and makes us unique from other world religions.

    Today, Christians all over the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus is alive, and He is alive forever. The ground where Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus laid his body began to shake, and this massive stone that serves as a door to Jesus’ tomb was rolled away. And so when the ...read more

    Don’t worry when nothing happens as expected! Don’t worry when you don’t get a royal welcome and you are given cold shoulder treatment, despite you being in the will of God!

    Look around and hang on! Acts 16:9 “And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." Don’t worry when nothing happens as expected! Don’t worry when you don’t get a royal welcome ...read more

    The Look Of Love--From Jesus Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 21, 2022
     | 1,292 views

    What did He see in Jesus’s eyes? What attracted him? I think He saw love, because Jesus, whose whole life was an image of the Trinitarian love, pierced his soul with love.

    Monday of 4th week in Course This Gospel brings to mind a letter of Pope Benedict, “Deus est caritas,” or “God is love.” If we look at the story of Jesus and this Gadarene madman, we are struck by the question, “why did Jesus bother with this guy?” He lived in a graveyard, he stank of dead flesh ...read more

    Happy New Year’s Eve! As we look back to our past and the resolutions that we haven’t fulfilled, and look forward expectantly, we look to the forgiveness found in the cross of Christ.

    In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three In One who was our hope this year and is our hope for eternity to come.

    In order for each of us to move toward becoming the person God created us to be and fulfill the purpose He created us to fulfill, we must pull some stakes and refuse to let limitations define us.

Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. My father loved tending a garden and he passed that love along to me.

    Epiphany 4: What we say we believe and what we do can sometimes be at odds with each other. If we are to live out the mission that God has given the Church, love looks like his people sharing Jesus with others.

    What believer has not been touched by the beautiful ’love chapter’? These words to the Corinthians are almost poetic in nature, and yet so authentic that they touch the soul. In these words, God gives us a beautiful description of what ‘love’ looks like: "If I speak in the tongues of men and of ...read more
