Guilty But Pardoned

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He pardoned us for all of our unknown sins of omission that we can never confess. His forgiveness was universal and comprehensive.

Abraham Lincoln was accused of this during the Civil War when he seemed willing to pardon just about anyone. He would ...read more

The Book Of Mark #62

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

This can be a difficult chapter to understand! It becomes difficult because some of the things the Lord talks about in this passage are BEFORE and some are AFTER the tribulation period.

You can not take Matthew 24, 25, or Mark 13 and say this is how things are going to happen chronologically. Everything that the Lord said would happen, will happen, but not in the sequence He gives them. Notice, as the disciples were walking with Jesus past the Temple, they commented on the ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

Every parent here has seen children that he considers to be “spoiled brats.”

When you saw those children, you probably said to yourselves, “I do not want my children to be like those children.” That is exactly the way the Lord felt about the Pharisees and Scribes except that He looked at them and knew that they were hypocrites more than spoiled brats.
