Contributed by Glenn Pease on Dec 3, 2021

We all know that judging is bad, but we also know that judging is good. How can the same thing be both good and bad? That is what paradox is all about and we are going to see how it can be true of judging.

Pursuing Excellence

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Mar 23, 2005

Even a glimpse at the Life of Jesus Christ makes obvious the fact that God is a God of excellence. A life of excellence is what He has bought for us. What does that mean for us as Christ-followers today?

“Pursuing Excellence” Mark 4:35-41 As we examine the life of Jesus as it is recorded for us in the four gospels, we get glimpses through windows, as it were. Not every detail of His life and ministry is recorded for us, nor could it be. The Apostle John tells us in John 21:25: “And there are also ...read more

OPEN: Several years ago, I watched a PBS Special that covered the events leading up to the "Battle of the Bulge" during WWII.

Letters To The 7 Churches 5 - Laodicea Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

we need to resist the pressures of our culture to conform unthinkingly to the status quo and to compromise on the major principles of our faith. We need to recover the radical edge of Jesus’ teaching, that turns the values of the world upside down.

It’s interesting how we can go from the two letters we saw last week where one church thought they were alive and were actually dead and another thought they were as good as dead but actually had plenty of life in them, to the final letter of the seven where the church is neither one thing nor the ...read more
