Be The Church: Love Your Neighbor, Love Your King

Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Dec 11, 2017

It's the Last Sunday of the Church Year/Christ the King Sunday. Jesus speaks of separating the sheep & goats on the last day. The question on people's minds: Am I a sheep or a goat? (From our lectionary-based series for November 2017, "BE the Church.")

The Word of God that engages us today—on this Christ the King Sunday—is our Gospel read-ing, from Matthew 25. We’ve been looking at this chapter for a couple of weeks. And now we get to this section: the separation of the sheep and the goats. And it’s a difficult text. Not difficult to understand, ...read more

Preservation And Perseverance

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 11, 2013

Christ presents two great truths regarding the relationship of the Shepherd – Christ, and the sheep – the born-again child of God. Preservation and perseverance. One is performed by God alone, the other by the believer with the aid of the Holy Spirit.

The word “REGARD” or the word “FAVOR” in Hebrew means, “paid attention to.” God paid attention to Abel’s offering but Cain’s offering he did not pay attention to.

Down But Not Out

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 24, 2020

We enter the Kingdom through trials. This is pictured in the Gates of Pearl of New Jerusalem. Pearls are the result of irritation and the secreting of a grace-like substance that transforms the irritation into a pearl. Paradise is entered by trials!

Land Of Liberty

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

The Christians who came to America to enjoy liberty did not come here to escape the bondage of atheists or humanists, but of other Christians. In our Western history it has been Christians who have been the greatest opponents of religious liberty.

Liberty is America's second name. We have such national symbols as the Statue Of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and the songs of liberty like My Country Tis Of Thee-sweet land of liberty, of thee of I sing. The Preamble to our Constitution says, "We the people...in order to establish ...read more
