A Clean Slate

Contributed by Jordon Leblanc on Dec 30, 2008

The Way We Walk

Contributed by Timothy Dolan on Sep 30, 2012

Being an imitator of God means that we must live a life of love and light. Verse 2 of Ephesians 5 describes living a life of love (imitation of Christ's love) and walking as a child of light (verse 8) another imitation. Word imitation means to mimic.

The Way You Walk Scripture Text: Ephesians 5 Introduction: -- Plato once said: “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark: the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” Instead of trusting Christ, modern-day thinkers insist on using human wisdom alone ...read more

Breakthrough In The Mind Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 7, 2020

Why Hope? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Peter calls on the Christians in his day to have hope much like Martin Luther King Jr. did in his day. Peter says, “I command you to be hopeful though you are suffering greatly.”

Sometimes our hope is invisible. The last words of dying people have always fascinated me. They are so revealing of a person's heart and soul. John Wilkes Booth who assassinated President Lincoln said only two words at his death: “Useless. Useless.” These are words of hopelessness. Fox News ...read more

You Shall Not Murder Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021

The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more
