    many people in those days died on a cross as that was the Roman way of the death penalty for every one that was not a Roman, but Jesus death on the cross was different, as He bore the sins of all mankind, passed present and future.

    ISAIAH 53: & psalms 22: JESUS SUFFERED IN OUR PLACE 4-26-08 As we think about how Jesus suffered and died on the cross, people have their own thoughts about what His crucifixion must have been like, but I’m sure that most of us really can not comprehend what He actually endured, ...read more

The tractor would plow deep into the hard soil of central India usually slicing the big snakes hibernating below the earth. Their mangled bodies were brought ...read more

    Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

You can also know if something is important when they say the same thing again, but in a different way, so that if you didn’t get it the first time, you might get it the second time. It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more

    The advent of the Feminist Movement in our Country in the late 1960s and early 1970s promoted the assertion that women were oppressed, being deprived of their equal rights and equal opportunities in society. They attacked Christianity as being patriarchal by denying women the opportunity to be in ...read more
