    How can we enjoy the blessing of God on our lives? Is it possible for a person to go to church every week and still not enjoy God’s blessing? According to James, it is. What is needed on our part for the blessing God has for us to be fully realized and en

    Transfiguration Sunday: What a sight they saw! But in His transfiguration, the disciples, and we, can see the magnitude of the sacrifice on the Cross and how it is far superior to the work of the Law and the Prophets.

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the ...read more

    The Camel Squeezed Out From Tail To Snout

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 10, 2007
