Forward In Faith 5: You Can’t Earn Salvation A Communion Reflection

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 15, 2013

God has given us the freedom to accept or reject his Grace. God makes this offer because He loves us. He loves us unconditionally. He doesn’t love us because we’re perfect. He loves us in spite of the fact we’re not perfect.

Maybe you try to live a good life, maybe you even try to live a godly life. Maybe you try your hardest to remain faithful, to be an obedient disciple of Jesus. Maybe sometimes that is easier said than done. ---- Maybe its safe for me to assume that we all seek to at least keep the 10 ...read more

Have You Forgiven Your Brethren? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 22, 2019

If we truly understand and receive the meaning of God's work through the Cross; the least we can do is to forgive one another out of gratefulness for his mercy.

God, in his infinite mercy, never disconnected from his creation. The disconnect came into play due to our disobedience; whether we prefer to blame Adam for the fall of mankind or ourselves since we manage to come up with a few poor choices here and there. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have ...read more
