Helping people make decisions is at the very heart of evangelism. This made me wonder why nearly all of Christ’s evangelism endeavors varied to best suit the hearer’s decision-making processes? In each case Jesus took into consideration the patterns of th

Respect Versus Contempt

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

All that is hateful and unloving is to some degree evil. Jesus says we need to be aware of this, and deal with it in its early stages, and so prevent all the serious consequences of thinking that negative attitudes are alright as long as you don't murder anyone.

Alexander the Great conquered the world, but anger conquered him, and turned him into a murderer. Like so many of the murders of history, it was not intended or designed. It happened because men do not understand that anger is the beginning of murder. Clitus, his best friend, was teasing ...read more

The Transforming Power Of Bloopers

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 7, 2015

The Holy Spirit gives a transfigured person power to do what he or she could not do before. Authority stood on the mountaintop. The same authority and light guides us through and out of whatever wilderness we may be in, whatever horror we face.

Many of you may remember a TV show called "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes". Well my friends, bloopers have never been limited to television shows. In fact, some of the funniest bloopers have appeared in church bulletins. For example: 1. Barbara remains in the hospital and needs blood donors for ...read more

The New Versus The Old Series

Contributed by James Snyder on Apr 22, 2013

Today's Christian rarely enjoys the Christianity envisioned by Jesus because it has been hampered by religion, which destroys the freedom available to us in Christ.

Every time some tragedy happens, people get very religious. The problem with getting religious is it does not last very long. Once the crisis has calmed down and things get back to normal, religion seems to go out the window. The reason this happens so often is that religion is never the answer it ...read more
