The Joy Of Giving Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 29, 2023

The book of Philippians is, to a large extent, a thank you note from Paul to the church for their financial gift. We find that it is not only the one who receives the gift who is blessed, but the ones who gives the gift are greatly blessed.

Philippians is considered the epistle of joy. That is because there are so many references to joy and rejoicing (over 15). There are so many references that are so prominent that Joy is considered the theme of the letter. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice. (Philippians ...read more

Narnia: Is The Lion Safe?

Contributed by Pat Cook on Dec 8, 2005

This is an article I wrote for an online journal. It’s a devotional based on the question asked about Aslan: Is he safe? The answer was : No, but he’s good. That’s God’s plans for us too: not safe but good.

Is the Lion Safe? I’ve been a fan of the Chronicles of Narnia for several years now. What’s funny about it is that it was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is decidedly not a believer. That’s funny because Narnia was written by a man who worked hard to make his Christian faith known ...read more
