Whose Wife Is She?

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Nov 1, 2019

when dealing with trick questions, one needs to attack the basis of the question rather than trying to answer the question.

Whose Wife is She? Luke 20:27-38 There is more to a question than the question itself. Sometimes they aren’t really looking for an answer. The classic question of this sort is “When did you stop beating your wife?” One immediately sees the trap in this question. No matter how one answers the ...read more

Relationships In The Hereafter

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 5, 2019

What will life be like in heaven? We'll have bodies that are physical, permanent, recognizable, and spiritual. We will have relationships so vital with Christ and each other that marriage will no longer be needed.

Luke 20:27-38 Relationships in the Hereafter Sometimes we are forced to say good-bye to those we love. And in those most trying of times, we hold onto the biblical idea of a great reunion of all believers in a place called heaven.

God Wins But It's Always By God's Calendar

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 21, 2023

The victory is God’s, but sometimes it takes a long time to achieve. And sometimes that victory is only in the willingness of martyrs to give up everything in witness to their faith.

Saturday of the 33rd Week in Course 2023 I recently read an article summarizing statements made by likely voters in one of the state primaries. One of the participants lamented about the state of the nation and asked, “Is there anyone other than me that feels like this is Rome 476 A.D.?” (Of ...read more

Something Completely Different

When God intervenes to bring life out of death, we have to let him do it his way.

How many of you remember Monty Python? The British comedy group in - I think - the 70's which used to transition between their skits with “And now for something completely different....” And it always was pretty strange. Part of their appeal was that their humor was so totally off the wall, ...read more

Chaos Of The End-Times And Faith In Resurrection

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 17, 2022

We live now and follow the way of Christ, not only because it causes a peaceful and civil society, but we even deny ourselves now so that we can celebrate with Christ in His kingdom.

Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, C--The Sadducees

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 12, 2022

I believe the question I would have asked the Sadducees would be, “Was this woman taking out life insurance policies on all these husbands?”

One of my seminary professors said that it’s easy to remember who the Sadducees were because since they denied that there is a resurrection, they were “so sad you see.” The Sadducees were the ancient version of modern liberal theologians. They were anti-supernaturalistic. They only accepted the ...read more
