What More Can I Do For Jesus? (Revised)

Contributed by James Kevin Bachmann on Nov 19, 2011

Christians can discover more ways to serve those in need by asking themselves questions like: Who else? What else? Where else, in order to act as sheep rather than goats.

What More Can I Do? (Revised) The Parable of the Talents dealt with the obligation of people who have received special gifts to increase them, add “interest" by applying and developing them. Today in the Judgment of the Nations referring to ordinary Christians rather than just the leadership, ...read more

The True Spirit Of Independence

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 28, 2013

We don't need American Exceptionalism as much as Jesus Exceptionalism, that liberates the whole human person.

Over the last few years I have heard a lot of people talking about “American Exceptionalism.” That is a theme of commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, but it is also something that many politicians on the left are drawn to–they want to make America exceptional by the ...read more

Open Eyes And An Open Heart

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Mar 3, 2014

Let us reach out to those who are pushed aside like the Jews have been, those who are marginalized because of their race or religion or other prejudice. We should not fear that which we do not understand but rather we should seek to understand that which we fear.

But here in Canada she is a landed immigrant and the last time she went through the border at Canada she was reminded that her landed immigrant ...read more

The Cat's In The Cradle - Father's Day 2020

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 21, 2020

Many of us, as Christians, grow up with a "blind spot" just like the Dad in "The Cat's In The Cradle" song. Are we failing to build spiritual relationships just as the Dad in the song failed to build a real Father-Son relationship?

The Cat’s In The Cradle Today we will be reading from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Today is Father’s Day. To me it is a confusing day but at the same time it makes sense. It makes sense because a Biblical father is what God planed for the human family. A father who provides for the needs of the ...read more

The Sheep And The Goats

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on Sep 6, 2019

During His time on earth Jesus spoke to the multitudes in stories to convey a spiritual truth about God and His Kingdom. Away from the crowds His disciples turn all their attention to Jesus. He explains to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure.

At a time before Jesus went to the cross He sat on the Mount of Olives with His disciples. In a private moment with them, they asked about the end of the age and how to inherit the kingdom. Consequently Jesus shared with them the things that will take place and the sign of His coming. He talked ...read more

The Gift That Keeps On Giving For Living A Supernatural Life

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 21, 2019

When a person chooses to give their life to Jesus and receive Him as their personal Lord and Savior, they are re-born and become alive to another realm that is supernatural.

Jesus is the greatest gift ever given. Through the gift of the Savior, every person on this planet has the freedom of choice to receive God’s gift of salvation. Salvation makes a person “complete” in Christ (Colossians 2:10). All that the Father is, Jesus is. "All the fullness of the Godhead ...read more
