    Received With Joy, Not Rejected

     | 2,135 views

    Rejection is painful, especially when you had hoped to be warmly received. It is the issue that Jesus addressed while in the Temple days before His arrest, persecution, and crucifixion.

    Jesus concluded, “’The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore, I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.” Matthew 21:33-43 Friends ...read more

    Does A Friend Need To Love At All Times?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 26, 2025
     | 322 views

    Knowing someone and being a friend to someone are not the same.

    What sort of companion or friend am I? There is a tremendous contrast between knowing somebody well and being a genuine friend. The best proof of certifiable friendship is steadfast loyalty. Our friendship with others should not lessen due to unforeseen circumstances. There is no one but Christ ...read more

    The Obedience Of Faith

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,033 views

    Can mere belief in God and the truths of His Word win the Lord’s approval and blessings? To the contrary, the Scriptures plainly teach that only a faith that leads to obedience to God wins approval and reward.

    When one reads the Letter to the Romans and then reads the Letter of James, there may appear to be a contradiction. Romans 4:1-6 clearly teaches that we are justified by faith apart from works. However, James 2:24 says that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Martin Luther saw ...read more

    The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022
     | 1,185 views

    John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

    The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges.

    How Can We Stand In The Gap?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 27, 2023
     | 1,831 views

    What is it to stand in the gap for someone else? Is it to stand in the place for another?

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would be placed on Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would approach them (22:17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). The Jewish leaders were particularly liable for the ethical environment of the country since God had picked them to lead. Those actions and ...read more
