Burden For The Lost

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 2, 2024

The elder son was in close proximity to the Father, but their hearts were far apart. The elder son's thinking differed from the father's thinking. Despite residing at Father's house, the elder brother did not share the Father's burden for the lost son.

And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Luke 15:20 The prodigal son has returned to the Father, but there are many elder sons who still have not returned to the Father. ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Prodigal Son) # 8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Introduction: There is an old saying that we sometime quote as true, but we need to be careful quoting it, because it only contains part of the truth.

The quote is, "You can always tell a man by the company he keeps." Can you? Always? No, this is not always the truth. For example, Jesus kept company with many that society had rejected. (1) HE KEPT COMPANY WITH LEPERS Now in first-century Palestine, lepers were viewed with horror ...read more

"While He Was A Great Way Off...”

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 8, 2022

There’s a story told of a husband and wife who were both doctors – one a doctor of theology and the other a doctor of medicine.
