The Apostle’s Creed, which we are studying, is a creed of contrasts. Listen to the stark opposites to which we profess faith: “I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.” From that great pronouncement of Christ’s uniqueness, ...read more

Hidden Things

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jul 3, 2011

God hides himself from the arrogant and reveals himself to the humble, childlike people who love him.

Imagine that you hear the roar of a car engine outside your door. As you look out, you see a red sports convertible, and in it is a young man with flowing hair and mirrored sunglasses. You can see that he is well tanned because he doesn’t have a shirt on — just shorts and flip flops. ...read more

Where Is God When We Need Him?

Contributed by Brian Atwood on Nov 28, 2004

God answers this question Himself.

Break Up The Fallow Ground!

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

There once was a book-burning in the palace of Judah’s king. A scroll-burning actually, but the idea is the same.

Come Up Hither.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 4, 2022

Whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

COME UP HITHER. Proverbs 25:6-7. This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, any society. Solomon speaks of a king, and of “great men.” ...read more

The Day Of Death Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 23, 2022

Would you baptize someone on Halloween? One preacher refused to do that because he saw Halloween as a focus on death... and he didn't want the young girl he was baptizing to become confused by the aura of death in the season, and having that connection ruin her walk with Christ.
