In Whose Image?

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Oct 14, 2014

Some .have taken Jesus' words as a starting point to building a theology of two kingdoms. A theology of how earthly governments and God are supposed .to relate. Beloved this passage is not about two kingdoms. It is about two images. Updated June 2018

Piercing The Spiritual Shadow

Contributed by James Snyder on May 3, 2016

My journey in the Christian life brings me to the point of piercing the spiritual shadow and discovering the presence of God. To walk in his presence is the greatest joy associated with the Christian life.

(Song of Solomon 2: 3-3: 16) The Christian life is the most wonderful and exciting and satisfying life there is but then on the other hand it is also the most frustrating, exhausting and trying life. This is why religion is so popular today. Religion says if you do this and that and if you ...read more

Jesus Christ Proclaimed Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 8, 2017

Mark jumps right into the life and ministry of Jesus, proclaiming Him as the Son of God. The Gospel opens with John the Baptist, preaching a message of repentance in preparation for the coming of Christ. He too proclaimed His deity.

Jesus Christ Proclaimed Mark 1: 1-8 As we begin our study in Mark’s Gospel, it is interesting to note that he doesn’t offer any genealogy of Christ, the events surrounding His birth, or any details about His childhood. These would have been essential to reach a Jewish audience, but ...read more

Low Man Wins!

Contributed by Keith Crocker on Apr 22, 2018

The Key ingredient in a fruitful, mature Christian life is humility. Pride preludes destruction.

JOB 2:29 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. It has been my experience that in most cases God sees pride as a bad thing. As a matter of fact I cant think of a time in the Bible that God saw pride as a positive but a ...read more

When There Is No Hope

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 20, 2018

God shows Ezekiel a valley of dry bones. And through his vision, we learn to not limit what God can do, to speak life into the lives of others, to allow God's Spirit to fill us, and to give God the glory when he replaces our hopelessness with hopefulness.

Ezekiel 37:1-14 When There is No Hope The prognosis is specific: there is no hope. The relationship is irreparably damaged: there is no hope. The depression wraps around you like a thick blanket of fog: there is no hope. Yet, today’s scripture suggests that, in the most hopeless of cases, God is ...read more

Spiritual Protection For The Battlefield

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Feb 17, 2013

We are engaged in a spiritual war. A serious battle. For the Christian, faith is not spelled "F-A-I-T-H" it is spelled "R-I-S-K." If something is not a risk, then it really does not require faith.
