The Things That Are Above

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

Out of grace and mercy and great kindness, God gathers our burning, blazing life; he glorifies it for the sake of Jesus Christ; he builds it up new and good in that hidden world where the line of death that separates us from God has been taken away.

(Read Colossians 3:1-4.) Dear congregation, it is as if our whole life were carried, raised up, and protected in these words. Say what you will against this “Seek the things that are above.” You may suspect that those who are constantly seeking things above may lose contact with the ground under ...read more

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Aug 19, 2012

I Hate To Say, 'i Told You So,' But... Series

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Sep 12, 2013

Since the day God promised Satan's head would be crushed, God has been weaving together His plan for over-coming the power and forces of evil.

“The Great Unveiling: I Hate To Say, ‘I Told You So,’ But . . .” Revelation 18:1 – 19:5 I stand in awe of Scripture. I’m overwhelmed by the way it lays out the plans and workings of God. Consider, for example, this fall of Babylon. In Jeremiah 51:59-64 Seraiah ...read more
