Father, "Knows Best"!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jun 27, 2011

He had places to go, people to see, things to do, it was going to be the social event of the year. He was finally going to be free at last to do as he pleased 24/7. No one was going to tell him what to do any longer, he had had enough,

The Best Is Yet To Come!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 22, 2012

There are similarities between the start of John's gospel and Genesis, culminating with water into wine on the 7th day (see full text for explanation). I believe this miraculous sign reveals the glory of Jesus and says the best is yet to come.

Christ Church - the best is yet to come! John’s gospel focuses upon signs that pointed to, and revealed the identity and glory of Jesus (2:11); and towards the end of his gospel John states why he wrote his book: ‘Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, ...read more

"What Church Is Best" Series

Contributed by Brad Henry on Aug 6, 2014

Too many denominations can water down the Gospel

The Ultimate Decision August 6, 2014 I wonder what God would think of all the denominations today? The true church started at the cross and ended at the empty tomb. That is it.

Best Laid Plans

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 3, 2013

Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 2, 2016

In a world full of hurt and pain, Isaiah reminds us that we are children of God. We as Christians have seen the fulfillment of the hope promised by the Second Coming, so we can and should proclaim this passage from Isaiah as our hope for salvation peace.

Is The Best Yet To Come

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 14, 2018

Even if that phrase is accurate for a Christian do we really understand what that may look like in our life?

Everyone likes to use the phrase the best is yet to come. If you are not a Christian the worst is yet to come. Your life may be golden here, but in the end your life will be Hell for eternity. Indeed, the best for a Christian is to be in Heaven so the best is yet to come. However, that does not ...read more
