Providing Comfort During Trials

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 13, 2021

Forgiving Difficult People Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Showcase For Saints Or Hospital For Sinners?

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

There is a temptation for us to put on our best front in church, a false front, and to especially welcome those who looked really good. But Jesus saw the church as especially for those who don't have it together and we will be wise to follow him.

When I was a boy, my mother used to tell us to be careful about the friends we picked. If you pick a study partner at school who doesn’t want to do school work, you won’t get much done.

Looking For The Escape Clause?...the Good Samaritan

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 12, 2022

The story of the Good Samaritan was Jesus' way of blasting our excuses for trying to get out of obeying God to demonstrate compassion for the needy. An escape clause is a device in a contract to elude responsibility!
