    Sometimes we need not be in such a rush to get out the door of the church but mediate and reflect on what you just heard and ask the preacher questions.

    Verse 41-43-How we get away from Jesus Notice Mary and Joseph were in hurry to get home. They did not linger there in Jerusalem. They had accomplished their religious obligation and did not want to hang around the church house any longer than they had to. (To eat Sunday Dinner. To watch the ...read more

    Christian Character Of Stephen The Martyr

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,083 views

    The would-be servant of God, whether waiting at table, ushering at the door, distributing to the poor, or preaching the gospel, must be of a blameless character and reputation.

    THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF STEPHEN THE MARTYR. Acts 6:1-15. It is interesting to commemorate one particular saint who gave his name to a Street, a Road, a Church, and a bench (!) in Norwich, and I dare say in other cities too. Stephen is rightly acknowledged as the first Christian martyr, a ...read more

    Nothing we can do on earth, except accept Jesus as our savior, is good enough to place us inside Heaven's door.

    Many theologians agree that the first biblical reference to a revealed truth of a coming Messiah is found in Genesis, chapter three, verses 14 and 15, “And the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon ...read more

    Strait And Narrow Minded

    The narrow gate is not quite as attractive as the wide one, because you have to leave a lot of old baggage at the door. No carry-ons are allowed.

    I was a pastor in New Jersey when the General Assembly gave our Presbytery a couple of pretty controversial amendments to consider. There were two main issues. The first was the elimination of the “fidelity and chastity” language from our ordination standards. The second one was the lordship of ...read more

    Blameless Living Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 16, 2021
     | 3,796 views

    Peter called his readers to fortify their testimonies with two crucial aspects of righteous living: 1) a personal, godly discipline that is inward and private 1 Peter 2 :11), and a 2) personal, godly deportment that is outward and public 1 Peter 2 :12).

    1 Peter 2:11-12 [11] Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. [12] Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the ...read more

    This Is, Thou Art

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Aug 28, 2003
    based on 47 ratings
     | 5,339 views

    There is a fundamental difference of me looking directly into my sons eyes and saying, "You are my beloved son," and if I were to put my arm around him and say to you, "this is my beloved son." One is a private declaration, one is a public demonstration.

    This is Thou Art Text: Luke 3:21,22; Matthew 17:5 Luke 3:21-22 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, ...read more

    A Review Of Classroom Literature Textbooks

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019
     | 2,302 views

    In years past, classroom literature textbooks used in American schools, both public and private, reinforced both Christian values of ethics and morality. In most public schools today, such things are no longer given to our children to read. This does not bode well for the future of democracy.

    Individualism Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 17, 2013
     | 5,200 views

    We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. We have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others. But is that what God wants for us?

    Individualism Joshua 7: 2-12a Imagine somebody courteously asking, “How is your family life?” or “How is your prayer life?” or “Is your thought life pure?” or “How wisely do you use your time?” or as John Wesley would ask Methodists in his day, ...read more
