  • Not As Easy (Or Hard) As It Looks

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 23, 2025
     | 113 views

    Being a Christian isn’t as easy as we think—our best efforts fall short before a holy God. But it’s not as hard as it looks either, because Christ has already done the impossible for us, giving us His Spirit and His strength to live as His people.

    GOOD MORNING. There were definitely times that I thought that being a pastor would make it easier to be a Christian. I realized how foolish that was even before going to seminary watching some rather famous pastors fall very publicly to temptation in the 80’ and 90’s. And this isn’t about beating ...read more

  • A Great Love Story Rarely Told

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Feb 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,119 views

    We all know the greatest love story is found in John 3:16. There are also many others in the Bible. A few are less talked about than others. There is one that is not considered very much, and for sure, it is hardly ever imitated or emulated.

    ONE OF THE GREATEST LOVE STORIES RARELY TOLD (and more rarely lived out) No butterflies in the stomach or cupids' arrows flying here. God is still looking for someone to espouse the vow of rescuing the perishing; even those who claim that they do not want to be saved. Text to read: Hosea ...read more

    I want you to imagine for just a few minutes, you’re in a little upper room lighted only by candlelight in the city of Jerusalem, and the time is some 2000 years ago. Into that room came 13 men. They do not wear shoes as we wear shoes. They wear sandals and the dust and sand cover their feet as ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 9, 2025
     | 67 views

    What is the hardest thing in the world to do? The answer comes back the same: the hardest thing in the world is to forgive. Yet this is what Jesus calls us to do.

    Introduction – The Hardest Thing in the World What is the most difficult thing in the world to do?

The pain of losing a job is one thing; the shame of facing your family and neighbors day after day is another. Pain hurts the body, ...read more
