Rejection Series

Contributed by Richard White on May 19, 2007

I remember these times with great fondness, there were also the bad times. I had tried out for a semi-pro theatre group, I thought I had a great audition and really ...read more

Repent

Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on Oct 23, 2015

Two Brothers With An Agenda

Contributed by Robert Butler on Feb 14, 2022

The original disciples were no different than us in their pride until they fully understood what Jesus did for them AND only then did the commitment make sense.

Two brothers walk up to Jesus. It sounds like the beginning of a joke doesn’t it? Two brothers, often referred to as the sons of thunder, walk up to Jesus. It was just after the third time he shared that crazy statement about going to Jerusalem to die. They knew he was just trying to scare off the ...read more

Balancing God & Life

Contributed by Chad West on Jun 14, 2004

How do you balance God and life? Is there such a thing?

Plato had a this idea of how we should look at the world called Dualism. He said that there is this physical world—the one we see—and a spiritual world that we don’t see.

Presenting The Gospel With Discernment Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 27, 2009

What’s your approach in sharing the gospel? There are probably as many ways of doing it as there are people—mostly because Jesus told us to be His “witnesses.” A witness tells what they experienced. Preaching the gospel—the second of the two reasons for our existence as Christians here on ...read more
