The Christmas That Wasn't Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021

The first Christmas was the Christmas that wasn't--at least in Jerusalem, the city that the Great King and Messiah came to save, and to rule from. Pagan visitors from far away had to tell them of the great thing that had happened in their midst.

Back in November, Jeanie and I received a newsletter from an organization called SAT-7. SAT, I assume stands for satellite, because that is the means by which they broadcast the Gospel via television programs into Muslim dominated countries in the Middle East.

The Paradox Of Judging

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Dec 3, 2021

We all know that judging is bad, but we also know that judging is good. How can the same thing be both good and bad? That is what paradox is all about and we are going to see how it can be true of judging.

Paul is judging the Jews for being terrible for judging the Gentiles to be terrible sinners. But if judging is always bad, then I can judge Paul to be terrible for judging the Jews to be terrible for judging the Gentiles to be terrible, and you can in turn judge me for being terrible in judging ...read more

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Sep 4, 2015

See how clearly defined is the difference in character, purpose and teaching of these two men (one of whom is also God).

16. Opposition Both Muhammad and Jesus were at first tolerated then opposed severely by those who desired the status quo. Such will it ever be when new ideas come to a community.

Moses - The Reluctant Hero Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 27, 2005

Most of the time we think of spiritual giants just itching to do God’s work. Moses was actually very reluctant to answer God’s call. This gives us ordinary folks hope. God takes us - whatever we have in our hand - and uses it for His glory.

What are you like when God calls you? Do you actively listen for His voice then jump at the chance to obey? Or are you just kind of going along, doing your job, minding your own business and when God calls you might reluctantly go along if He twists your arm enough? You might think that a ...read more
