"Real Love… Talking About That Real Love”

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on May 29, 2025

Jesus prays in John 17—not just for the disciples beside Him, but for us, those who would come to believe through their witness. That’s real love. Not temporary. Not performative. Real love is legacy love. Transformative love. Love that acts and lasts.

Contributed by Sandeep Samson on Mar 27, 2025

Benefits Of Being A Christian Series

Contributed by Richard White on Feb 6, 2004

Poolside Views Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Apr 27, 2009

Does God still perform miracles? Of course He does. But what why does He? Is it to cause people to believe in Him? The sad fact is that most people who witness the miracles of God still refuse to believe—just like the people in today’s passage.

As a matter of fact, in the last verse of the book, he wrote, “And there are also many other things which ...read more

I Don't Feel A Thing! (Hix)

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Mar 20, 2014

Jesus spoke in parables, He used physical things (Seeds, Water, Light, Soil, Birth, Wedding, Wine, Bread) to explain spiritual things (Witnessing, Testimony, Spiritual Birth, Christian Life, Christian Walk). So God is going to use leprosy as a teaching tool!

People are always concerned with physical body and not really concerned with spiritual body, but physical is connected to the spiritual! Sickness, disease, famine, pestilence, wars, death are all a direct or indirect result of sin!! The only way to bring any kind of healing to the physical, is to ...read more
