Plastic Faith

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025

Forgiveness isn’t counted but lived—when we release others, God releases us, mercy triumphs, and faith regains its power to move mountains.

Mercy triumphs over judgment — that’s what the Word of God says. And if we’re honest, every one of us here needs mercy. We’ve needed it before, we’ll need it again before the day’s over. If it weren’t for the mercy and compassion of God, where would we be? Utterly consumed. Gone. Done for. But His ...read more
