Racy Words

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jul 22, 2019

The Christian journey can be described as a "race." We choose the kind of race we run -- fun and games; obligatory; or the long-term run.

The Lordship Of The Risen Christ

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 27, 2016

A key accomplishment of the empty tomb is so Jesus might be “the Lord of both the dead and the living.” Lordship implies ownership or the right to exercise authority over another. When we come to Jesus, we're under new management.
