Doing Something Extra With The Ordinary

Contributed by Stephen Epps on Sep 10, 2013

Thoughts On Public Schooling: Should Christians Homeschool Their Children?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021

Many an average American boy or girl will be raised up in the school rooms of public education. I would like to share some thoughts from great minds on education itself, public education, and wisdom. I'd also like to share my personal experiences in the public education system.

The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” ? Martin Luther King Jr. Many ...read more

Jesus Uncut

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

A preacher is very much like a traffic engineer. And the preachers of Jesus’ day were routing the traffic right off a washed-out bridge with no warning. For real love always stands against deception.

While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of ...read more

Personalizing Easter Series

Striking The Shepherd

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

The devil worked through believers to see Jesus betrayed and crucified. He is working today to discredit God's shepherds. When conflict arises, people all too often deny their leader; and this is the point at which he is led away to be crucified!

In Job 2:7, we read, “So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” I think most of us realize that Satan can attack people physically by robbing them of their health; however, the surprising revelation is ...read more
