    based on 74 ratings
     | 23,530 views

    Because God loved you first, You are special

    I am quite intrigued as to why, when Jesus spoke in parables so everyone could understand them, he then felt the need to explain them to his disciples later. I wonder if it was to give his disciples a chance to challenge and question what he had said earlier. A chance to see the reasoning and the ...read more

Over the ensuing ...read more

     | 4,383 views

    To show that this world returned evil for good, hatred for love of GOD. Noticing this, we need to be different from it.

  • Death Comes First

    Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 9, 2016
     | 6,447 views

    We think that Life comes first, and death follows. But, think of death happening first, then Life follows. It happens when we first believe. We were DEAD in sin, until God brings us the word of LIFE. The butterfly seems to DIE, then comes back to LIFE!
