If Stones Could Shout

Contributed by John Newton on Apr 10, 2022

Unity In God’s Family

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on May 7, 2019

Jesus at Hanukkah distinguishes his work as the new temple from that of the Father. The Father and the Son's working together not only conveys their love and forgiveness to us, it also helps us work together and forgive amidst God's kingdom.

In our country’s history we’ve tended to value what’s been called “rugged individualism.” Each person should strive to work hard and take care of their own responsibilities. This has been a very helpful thing for our country. But this rugged individualism is misunderstood if we see community as a ...read more

So, You Think You're Not A Pharisee?

Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 28, 2014

Christ directed the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican Praying in the Temple to those who trusted in their own righteousness. We are more prone to trust in our own righteousness than we might think. This self-trust can keep us from being merciful.

Over the years, we have all heard preachers address the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican praying in the Temple. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
