Why Eagles Fly And Chickens Flutter

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 28, 2023

Christians, like Eagles, are destined to fly high in Christ's victorious nature and righteousness. They don't conform to the nature of fallen creatures, who can only flutter slightly above the ground of sin and corruption. Have you realized your genetic heritage yet?

Circumcision Of The Heart

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 26, 2021

Alba 7-25-2021 CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART Romans 2:25-29 There is that old saying, “Do as I say, not as I do.” That doesn’t really work does it? Lately we have had some politicians live by that motto. They gave various restrictions for their communities, but didn't live by them, themselves. ...read more

Our Example Within Suffering

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 8, 2020
