    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 76 ratings

    It’s dangerous to laugh at God’s people, because God is on their side. So the people of God can have confidence in facing opposition

    According to Jeff Kennet, Christians are "People of the Past". That’s what he said. He said it when Christians raised objections to the Crown Casino. "To object to something like that," he said, "meant you were out of step with the community." How could you possibly object to something that would ...read more

  • Restoring The Risk Of Christmas Series

     | 2,962 views

But what really is the Christmas spirit? Perhaps there are ...read more

  • The Hope In You

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Apr 28, 2008
     | 3,480 views

    Hope is the opposite of despair; how can I "sanctify" Christ in my heart so I can defend the Gospel in this despair-filled world?

    Where Do I Find Spiritual Strength? When we face hardships, when we dwell on the past, when we are not being good to ourselves, we can feel weak. And yet hardships are not possible to avoid. The past cannot be willed away or ignored. We are not good to ourselves for a lot of complex ...read more

  • The Christian Response To Injustice Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021
     | 4,966 views

    Christians are not unique in their opposition to injustice, but we find their uniqueness as we examine the response they are to make to unjust acts against them, and the reasons for making this response

    Injustice is an evil that has been so universally despised that one need not depend on Christian authors alone to attack it. Cambyses, the king of ancient Persia, had a keen sense of justice. When he discovered that a close friend was taking advantage of his secure relationship to him by selling ...read more

    Are we flexible enough to allow God to do the exact opposite of what we had expected? Let's look at Genesis 48.

    Do we have narrow ideas as to how God should handle things? Are we flexible enough to allow God to surprise us, even when He does the exact opposite of what we may have expected? Let’s look at Genesis 48. What did Israel say to Joseph? What had God told him? After these things, someone said to ...read more
