  • The Birthmark Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 23, 2022
     | 1,425 views

    Persecution stems from the world's anger with God and not being able to take it out on Him. The world wants to fight God, but choose to fight with Christians. Remember it is not personal, it is hatred for God.

    This is the final message on the Beatitudes, the Birthmarks of the Believers. Jesus was the Messiah, but He was not the Messiah everyone was expecting. The Jews were in bondage. They believed that when He came, He was going to come as a mighty warrior. They were not as interested in being saved ...read more

  • At The Poverty Line Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,561 views

    Being financially secure, being well educated, having the respect and admiration of your neighbors, none of those get you credit in God’s kingdom. We’re all charity cases there.

    Are you happy? If not, what would it take to make you happy? For most people, happiness seems to have something to do with our circumstances. In our youth-obsessed culture, perhaps we feel we have to look backward to imagine happiness. “What is happiness?” and “How can I get happiness?” are two ...read more

  • It Begins With Mourning Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,446 views

    Mourning is the first step on the journey back to God.

    Mourning is what happens when your eyes are opened, your heart is opened, to something so manifestly wrong with your world that you can neither bear it, ignore it, or affect it. Mourning is the first step on the journey back to God. I recently listened to a very interesting conversation about ...read more

  • Neither Wimps Nor Wolves Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,011 views

    The wolf who has learned to guard the sheep has a permanent place at the master’s fire.

    Do any of you remember the old musical Camelot, about King Arthur and the Round Table? It was popular back in the early 60's, it’s one of the reasons the Kennedy White House started being called Camelot. The reason I bring it up is because of Lancelot. Remember Lancelot? Until he and Guenevere ...read more

  • A Healthy Appetite Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,353 views

    The proper response to mourning over the reality of suffering, and the key to meekness, is not conquering desire, but learning to desire the right things.

    How many of you are planning to watch a football game today? How many of you are mourning the defeat of the Packers??? Anybody care about the fate of the Titans? Have you since switched your allegiance to the Rams or the Bengals? Now, who’s not going to watch anything? Who doesn’t much care one ...read more

  • Unstrained Mercy Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,088 views

    None of us can forgive the wrongs done to someone else. We can, however, show mercy to anyone who is suffering - whether forgiveness is involved or not.

    Every week it seems like there’s another new disaster. The 10 plagues that Moses visited on Egypt to convince Pharoah to free the Israelites almost pale in comparison. Talk about plagues? We hoped that 2021 would see the end of Covic19 but noooooo. And as if that weren’t enough, an earthquake ...read more

  • Heart-Eye Coordination Series

    "To an impure heart, God cannot be seen anywhere; but to a pure heart God is to be seen everywhere.” -- Charles Spurgeon

    How many of you wear glasses? I’ve worn mine since I was seven years old. I was able to wear contact lenses for about 20 years but after about 40 they don’t work so well. And since I got cataract surgery and don’t need glasses for distance, I’m using reading glasses – so I have to take them on and ...read more

  • Peace Work Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,463 views

    God’s peace is not the same as the world’s peace - even though people filled with God’s peace DO bring peace to the world.

    We human beings are not naturally peacemakers. On the contrary: we’re naturally trouble-makers. A few years ago a group of people tried walking across America on a mission of peace. They couldn't get along and divided into two groups by the time they were half way across. According to the ...read more

  • The Gift Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,221 views

    Persecution is the flip side of peace-making. If we live out the first 7 beatitudes, this one, the 8th, follows on their heels as surely as water flows downhill.

    About 35 years ago, a Romanian pastor came to visit the church I belonged to, a nice white church in a rich western suburb of Minneapolis. He had gotten to know my pastor, who had been involved in a Bible-smuggling ministry when the Iron Curtain was still up. Pasor John asked him what he thought ...read more

  • Change Agents Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 2,119 views

    Salt goes into the body. It is necessary, and good, and contributes to the health of the body. It changes the body – for a time. But for lasting change to occur something has to go into the mind and heart as well. And that is where light comes in.

    How many of you keep a watch on how much salt you eat, buying the low-sodium versions of things like canned soup and cold cuts and avoiding high-sodium treats like pizza and potato chips? It’s an article of faith that salt is hazardous to your health. And it’s very difficult to avoid, since most ...read more

  • Righteousness Plus Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,944 views

    The law has a purpose beyond itself. The law is a tool to form a people for God.

    Judicial philosophy is much in the news right now. And underlying the debates – in addition to some very important policy issues - are some very fundamental questions. Who makes the law? Where does law come from? What is law for? What can law do? What role should religion play in the formation of ...read more

  • Murder Mystery Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,496 views

    Anger is the impulse to strike out - either with words or with actions - at whatever threatens us, or threatens something we value. Anger is an impulse to destruction. Anger is in stark contrast to the commandment to love, which brings life.

    Have you ever caught yourself looking at your reflection in a shop window? I have to confess that I sometimes do. I'll wager there's not one person in this room who doesn't take at least one good look at him or herself in the mirror every day. Maybe you don't care much. But you ...read more

    How the prohibition against murder expands to include anger.

    How the prohibition against adultery expanded to include lust.

    Moses has been gone up in the clouds on Sinai for days and the elders are getting nervous. Finally he appears, carrying two large hunks of rock, with what appears to be writing on them. The elders are nervous, understandably, given what’s been happening - the golden calf, and so on. Moses ...read more
