    WHO ARE YOU, LORD? (COLOSSIANS 1:15-20) Delighted at seeing a Hispanic man wearing a bold and beautiful cross while in the swimming pool, I asked him, “Are you a Christian?” He surprised me by saying, “No. I am Catholic.” The disciples of the early church were not known by outsiders as Catholic, ...read more

    The Price Of Peace

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 6, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,641 views

    Conflict is fundamentally spiritual, not just interpersonal, founded in insecurity and elusive. But persistence in prayer will ultimately provide peace.

    When Jesus spoke of those who cry, “Peace, peace” when there is no peace, He must have foreseen the pain of the present time. Never before in human history, I would suspect, have more people felt less peace than now. Everywhere you turn there is the evidence of a generation which is deeply ...read more

    Paul was able to really assess all he had put confidence in… concludes that knowing Christ who holds the power of eternal risen life… and even to share in his sufferings as part of knowing him… was the greatest purpose and pleasure life offered.

    What is at the center of your life? Hard question to answer… some of us may be honestly divided … some of us may know what we believe should be… but the longer we reflect on the question…. The more we realize that we may not be as centered as we’d like to believe. Show me a centered life… and ...read more
