    Notice, Jesus doesn't use bricks to build His church. He uses people. Imperfect people at that. We are those transgressors and sinners that are referred to at the first of this chapter.

    Alba 2-26-2023 BUILD ON A SURE FOUNDATION Ephesians 2:19-22 Here is a brick. I suppose you figured that out. Originally I used this brick with others and some boards and made a book case about five shelves high. It wasn't very steady, but it worked for me when I was single and no children ...read more

    Simple thought -- IF TRIPPING IS NOT ALLOWED IN FOOTBALL, a game where people are supposed to be knocking each other down, it CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN CHURCH, a place where people should be helping and holding one another other up.

    The purpose of this course is to make today’s Christian think about some of the things we are facing in our society as Christians. Christian people should be “thinking” people when it comes to the issues we face in our society.

    For example, as Christians: • We can not allow others to do our thinking for us when it comes to deciding what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. • We can not just ignore these issues we face and hope they will go away. Through the ages of time, God’s people have had to face difficult situations in ...read more

    For several weeks, I have been meditating on the biblical account of Zacharias being approached by the angel Gabriel and given the news about soon to be birth of John The Baptist.
