    Mary & Martha said that Lazarus was the one whom Jesus loved. But how could Jesus treat a friend like He did? Why would He callously stay away while this close friend died... and He could have prevented it?

     | 16,580 views

    Why should I be careful of the company I keep? Should I avoid the company of sinners, and mockers and the immoral? And if I do this (avoid sinners) how can I carry the message of Christ to the lost?

All the temptations of this world might wear you pretty thin, but they won't hurt you, one least bit... unless you let them in.” (I could not find the author) It’s a repeated ...read more

     | 24,225 views

    Why did Jesus lead Peter, James and John up on the Mountain? And why would God make it so they could see Moses and Elijah speaking with Christ that day?

    The story in our text today is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke and I believe it’s the source of the phrase “A Mountain Top Experience. So, over the past week I went searching for stories and quotes about Mountain top experiences, and I stumbled on this comment: “The Outing Club is hosting world ...read more

    How does the gift of teaching help the church? And does that mean that if we don't have this gift that we don't have to teach?

    based on 18 ratings
     | 35,839 views

    Why wasn't Moses allowed into the Promised Land? The short answer is: he sinned, but somehow that doesn't seem quite fair. He was one of the greatest and meekest men in Scripture. Is there something more about God's decision that we need to know?

    I love to read and a few weeks ago I ran across a word quiz from a non-Christian publication that – at first – angered me. I thought they were making fun of Christianity. But once I read the answer to the quiz I realized not only were they NOT doing that, but in fact someone had ...read more

    Sometimes, it just isn’t possible to shake a nickname. One of my favorite athletes, Landon Donovan, has that problem.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 21,944 views
