    We have a part to play in our coming out of the tomb

    Reader’s Digest has printed many quirky items from the daily lives of ordinary people. Many of these items are quite amusing. For example, Jennifer Pace wrote a few years ago to tell about a billboard she passed while driving through Texas. The billboard read: “Stand Up and Be Counted for the 2000 ...read more

     | 809 views

    Once you accept the cup. Then your path to glory is by your service.

    Servant leadership. Blah-blah-blah. and so on; and so forth. Ever since Robert Greenleaf coined the term, there has been so much information out there on servant leadership that is too academic, or filed with unpractical generalizations like servant leadership is not command and control, nor ...read more

    How Would We Live Differently If We Knew It Was Tomorrow?

    Contributed by Howard Green on Oct 21, 2024
     | 1,218 views

    How would we live differently if we knew Jesus was coming back tomorrow? It would radically alter our priorities and what matters.

    Illustration: Imagine knowing about October 7th, the Indian Ocean Tsunami, 9-11, Pearl Harbor, or the Titanic on the day before they happened! Consider the importance of knowing what was coming and the chance to heed the warning. Knowing about these events the day before would have changed the way ...read more

    How Do We Know If The Bush Is Still Burning?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Sep 16, 2023
     | 1,005 views

    This is the story of when Moses was tending sheep and saw a bush burning that was not consumed by the fire.

    What a differentiation between Moses' life as an Egyptian ruler and his life as a Midianite shepherd. As a ruler, he had everything accomplished for him since he was the renowned child of an Egyptian princess. As a Midianite shepherd, he needed to thoroughly take care of himself. He was holding ...read more

    Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 4 -Progressive Creationism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 25, 2023
     | 1,336 views

    This is the last of four messages on the alternatives of creation often presented to skeptics and the scientific community apart from what is described in Genesis 1. This final message deals with "progressive creationism", another example of the futility of man's "wisdom".

    We have looked at four alternative theories that some Christians use to either defend or explain to a skeptical world how everything came into being instead of what is clearly presented in Genesis 1. The world system took advantage of our withdrawal from the scientific community soon after the ...read more

    Is There A Lesson In The Leftovers From The Five Thousand That Jesus Fed?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 19, 2023
     | 5,680 views

    Undoubtedly many have heard this passage of Scripture before. Hopefully, many have read this story of where Jesus feeds the multitude, the five thousand.

    What a miracle to perform. I cannot imagine trying to feed that many people. No doubt there are quite a few mothers out there that would find that a daunting task. Can you see five thousand people coming through your door, walking to the dining room, either trying to find a place to sit or going ...read more

    Genuine Apology (Luke 15:18) 1. Two hunters hire a small plane to take them to a remote area of Canada. Upon dropping off the hunters, the pilot tells them, "Remember only one moose, because the plane wouldn't be able to take off with more weight than that." The hunters go off. A ...read more
