Begging At The Gate

Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on Oct 19, 2008

The gate could be prettier than the Temple – it is another paradox of modern religion. Big gates, large ways coming trough, but no salvation at the gate.

Just look at him: an ordinary beggar, one among thousands who filled Jerusalem streets... And today was just another day, no better and no worse then all the other days that had made up the life of this poor crippled beggar. Who was he, we don’t know. The Bible reveals nothing about his life up to ...read more

Culture Clash - Psychic Network Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Jan 3, 2010

When everything is theoretical,everyone loves to coexist, everyone celebrates diversity. Interfere with their lifestyle and you become part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Christians are the problem - Christians not part of the solution. Paul and his companions run into ...read more
