  • All Believers Can Be Bearers Of The Word Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 10, 2023
     | 814 views

    Joel gives the judgement: it’s because of the sin of the Israelites themselves. Just the opposite of the faith and obedience of Mary that Jesus wants in His disciples.

    Saturday of the 27th week in Course 2023 I think this brief Gospel gives us words that either Jesus or His Mother could have proclaimed. As usual, there’s a big crowd around Jesus, perhaps hundreds clamoring for attention, for encouragement, for healing or forgiveness. A woman raises her voice and ...read more

     | 7,326 views

    We are weak, if we know ourselves at all. But God is the opposite of weak, and in knowing Jesus, God gives us His power to live for Him!

    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

    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

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Jan 15, 2019
     | 5,658 views

    Jesus had a lot of opposition from the spiritual leaders of His day. It makes us ask, If Jesus came to Church today would He be accepted? I read this week that if Jesus preached the message coming out of most pulpits today He wouldn’t have been crucified. Let’s see how Jesus handled this opposition.

    Luke 7:11-35 Introduction: Jesus had a lot of opposition from the spiritual leaders of His day. It makes us ask, If Jesus came to Church today would He be accepted?

    Contributed by Paul Kallan on Mar 5, 2003
    based on 55 ratings
     | 3,592 views

    To fast means to integrate the gospel into human life. It is the unity of the two opposites between the difficulty to overcome the human tendency to evil and the joy of embracing the Word of God.

And the Gentiles gladly received this ...read more

     | 4,610 views

    Anger, the impulse to destroy, is the direct opposite of love, the force which gives life. This is why anger is equivalent to murder in the eyes of God, who looks on the heart.
