    Those who are disabled can challenge believers to be more authentic in their Christian faith and love. This message shows how a blind man was able to challenge the disciples and a crowd of people who were following Jesus.

    My family attended two Baptist churches in Danville that were unusually, yet refreshingly, filled with a love for those who are disabled. We saw the deaf, for which a sign language interpreter was provided. We also saw those with some sort of mental handicap, and those with a wide range of physical ...read more

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 24, 2023
     | 1,962 views

    We often do what we think God will INSPECT, not what he EXPECTS us to do.

    Do you love your neighbor? Love - that's a big word. Love is the fulfillment of all of God's laws. It's greater than any spiritual gift you could have. It's the reason God put us here on earth. It's even what Jesus said would confirm that we are his disciples. LOVE. But ...read more
