    This message explores what our reaction and devotion should be to the Body of Christ, based on the example of Joseph of Arimathaea, and his devotion to Christ’s physical body.

He begged for the body. Note the fact that God used one man. He does not always look for a group, an ...read more

    The parade of praises from Palm Sunday has been replaced by the cries coming from Calvary, as Jesus dies on the cross and despair begins to set in among the disciples.

    It Is Your Responsibility

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 25, 2002
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,033 views

    We can’t gussy up our attitudes or actions to make them seem righteous on the outside and think that we are pleasing God. It’s much better to be transparent and let God deal with you, than try to hide sin under a pretty blanket.

    The latest answer when you are caught making a mistake, doing something wrong – even breaking the law is: There was an error in judgment. Not, I goofed, or I’m guilty – but an error in judgment was made. That goes right along with this one: "I assume responsibility for all of my actions, except the ...read more
