A Fresh Look At The Cross

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Mar 22, 2021

In the ancient world, the cross was a depraved and distasteful affair. Romans used it, but the sparse reference to it in their literature shows their aversion to it. They considered it a barbarian form of punishment Similarly, the Jews detested it.

A fresh look at the Cross. John 12:27 Every religion and every ideology has its own symbol for its identification. . For the Buddhist it is the Lotus Flower. Judaism has the Star of David and Islam the Crescent. In this century the Communists were known for the hammer and the sickle and the Nazis ...read more

Jesus Christ, God In The Flesh

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 15, 2020

The doctrine of the Incarnation touches and affects virtually every single area of Christian theology.

Last time we sought to answer the question, “Why did God become man?” Why would the Son of God leave all that He had in heaven and come to earth? Why did He do it? We learned three reasons why God became man: He did it so that you and I could relate to God, who is invisible to us. Secondly, ...read more

God's Method Of Deliverance

Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Mar 5, 2016

This story is about how Christians can access God’s blessings for every area of our lives. It is not so much about forgiveness of sin, which we all need, but it's more about the method God has for deliverance in every area of life. God is a deliverer.

"Are You Dead Yet???"

Contributed by Michael Walker on Jan 19, 2003

Jesus had to die so we could live…we have to die so He can live through us so others can have life!!! Seems painful, but it’s oh so true. The way we think, the way we think it ought to happen and what the Word of God says is completely opposite.

"ARE YOU DEAD YET???” - John 12:24 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much." I’ll make it plain…Jesus had to die so we could live…we have to die so He can live through us so others can ...read more

He Went A Little Farther

Contributed by Jerry Carr on Jun 9, 2001

We find as Jesus went to Gethsemane, Gabbatha, Galgotha, and the Grave, that he conquered every obstacle that was set before him, just as we must.

When we think of Calvary, it speaks of sins forgiven, but in order for those sins to be forgiven there had to be someone to pay the price. It speaks of Peace with God, but before we can experience Peace there must be Victory. It speaks of Eternal Life, but before we can have eternal life, the ...read more

Judgment Will Be No Joke
