    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 19, 2025
     | 273 views

    We must all accept discipline so that we will receive the “peaceful fruit of righteousness” owed to those who are trained by discipline.

    Twenty-first Sunday in Course 2025 As a teacher, I used to tell my students there’s a good way to find out what the teacher finds important in a lesson.

    God’s extreme grace is available to each of us, but can only be received by a heart that is exposed and open before Him.

    Extreme Grace Hebrews 4:12-16 12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything ...read more

    God meets us in every pain with real comfort, inviting us to receive his presence and share that comfort with others in their suffering.

    There are weeks when our hearts feel thin. We sit at kitchen tables and stare at cold coffee. We stand in hospital halls and count ceiling tiles. We scroll through old texts, listening for a voice that no longer answers. Grief sits quietly in the corner like an unwelcome guest. Worry hums like an ...read more

    Presumption

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 9, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,518 views

    Religion does not create a relationship with God, nor does ritual. It is refinement born of repentance that shapes that relationship. Repent, relate, and receive.

     | 1,819 views

    While justification has declared us righteous, and we have received a new nature, it did not eradicate our ability to sin.

    As Christians, we must be aware that we not only have been given the “new nature” from God, but that the old Adamic nature that we were born with, lies there ready to rise up at any time. HOW CAN WE LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE OVER SIN? As chapters 1-5 have taught us, we, who are saved by faith, now ...read more
