The Church Explained In Eight Words

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Aug 21, 2020

The church is the place where the Holy God meets with sinners washed in the Blood of Jesus. It is the fellowship of a perfect God with a perfect nature with a people imperfect with a dual nature.

"Nicodemus Wears A White Hat”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 11, 2021

Good cowboys wear white hats. Nicodemus was depending on his "goodness", keeping Jewish rules and his connection to Abraham. Our new American theology is not different....we want to depend on our own goodness. Jesus is not "one" way, but the only way.

The Source Of Self-Worth

And yet, behind the facade of the bully lies a deep insecurity, a fear of rejection. Our bookstores are full of books about self-worth. I did a quick search on ...read more
