    The cry of freedom is what America celebrates this week. Freedom, however, comes in many forms. The political freedom Wallace heralded and that America celebrates is but one. We would do well to remember the others. That is at least part of what Je

    The Shadow Of The Cross Over The Incarnation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 74 ratings
     | 4,921 views

    The full significance of the Incarnation is only seen when its dark side is understood - in the Sign of a Sword to Mary’s heart, the Symbol of Myrrh as an offering from the wise men and the Sorrow of Rachael over her dead children.

    If the message of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus into human experience, had to be condensed into a single sentence it couldn’t be bettered than the words of John: "He came to his own home and his own people received him not" (1:11). In the opening verses of his Gospel, John had already ...read more

    Make Us A King To Judge Us

    There is a very popular saying that states, “those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it,” and this is the theme that we will explore today. Today we are going to learn a very valuable lesson from a terrible decision.

    As I have said on numerous occasions, no one is perfect. The truth is that all of us make mistakes, and are guilty of making decisions based on impulse. In other words, we allow ourselves to be led by our feelings, and the worst part is that we allow ourselves to be led by the things of this ...read more

    JESUS SAID, “I AM THE WAY…!” John 14:4-6 Int. One of the greatest things Jesus ever said was in response to a question of a doubting man. Thomas, one of Jesus’ disciples, was a man who would never say that he understood when in reality, he did not understand. He was far too ...read more
