A Confrontation About Resurrection Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 20, 2018

The Sadducees came to Jesus with a question regarding resurrection. This is quite interesting since they did not believe in resurrection. His response revealed much about God's provision for us and life after death for the saved.

A Confrontation about Resurrection Mark 12: 18-27 Those who embrace Jesus as the Christ, having received Him as Lord and Savior, all agree on an essential element of His existence – His glorious resurrection. Had He not risen from the grave, He would have been like all who came before Him. We ...read more

"The Christian And Their Family” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jul 29, 2019

At one point she said, “And do you know how the movie ends?” To which the older ...read more

Belief In The Resurrection Of The Dead

Contributed by Sajeev Painunkal, Sj on Nov 6, 2010

The Sadducees try to ridicule Jesus with a stupid question about what happens in heaven. The answer of Jesus is not about the how but they why. If we don't believe in a life after death, we will have no purpose for our life on earth.

People sometimes ask stupid questions. They know it is stupid; but they ask them anyway. When somebody asks a stupid question, we can assume that either they are too naïve, or they are sarcastic. And most of the time they are not naïve; they are trying to make us look foolish trying to answer ...read more

Ladies, Are You Doing Porn?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 13, 2017

The truth is there would most likely be more women in that group guilty of it than they imagine and some may be married to more than one man and not know ...read more
