"Real Life” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Sep 13, 2010

In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus describes two very different men, who took two very different approaches to connecting with God, which resulted in two very different outcomes.

Too many non-believers wrongly think of Christianity as “just another religion,” and, sadly, many of ...read more

The Greatest

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013

The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more
