Have You Learned The Difference Between Discernment And Judgment? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 29, 2019

What God describes as unclean and what we see as unclean are different things. Should we separate ourselves from the world or should we pick up where Jesus left off and minister to others?

However; judgment can't stand not being involved. Not only does it involve an action, but it also involves power, criticism, separation, ...read more

All Believers Can Be Bearers Of The Word Of God

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 10, 2023

Joel gives the judgement: it’s because of the sin of the Israelites themselves. Just the opposite of the faith and obedience of Mary that Jesus wants in His disciples.

Saturday of the 27th week in Course 2023 I think this brief Gospel gives us words that either Jesus or His Mother could have proclaimed. As usual, there’s a big crowd around Jesus, perhaps hundreds clamoring for attention, for encouragement, for healing or forgiveness. A woman raises her voice and ...read more
