    Is there a contradiction between God being near and nobody being able to come to Christ without the Father’s calling?

    God is Near Festival2001 Many of us can actually hear, deep within our hearts and minds, ministers’ voices declaring Christ’s words: “Nobody can come to me unless the spirit of the Father draws him.” As we hear these words, we feel a wall or a roadblock to even considering the subject of ...read more

    Like paratroopers who have been dropped behind enemy lines, Christians have a job to do in sometimes-unfriendly territory.

    The End is Near (I Peter 4:7-11) 1. AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it’s not Walter who’s lacking intelligence. Police in Oakland, California spent two hours attempting to subdue a ...read more

    Our work is to win lost souls for Christ. We are to do this by spreading the Good News of the Gospel. We can do this work just by talking to our friends.

    Do you ever get the feeling that time is passing by quickly? Do you ever feel that you have too much to do and not enough time to do it? If so, then you can probably appreciate the sense of urgency that Paul has in the reading from 1 Corinthians 7:29-31, which we heard earlier in today’s ...read more

    As we come to the end of 2017, the review of events over the past year show that, in many ways, nothing has changed.
