His Wonderful Name Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

I Pledge Allegiance To A Hiding God

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2002

The recent "under God" court decision is inconsequential. Far better to pledge allegiance to a God who does not need publicity and lip service, but who points us to acts of justice, liberation, and witness.

In every age there are those who feel they need to help God out of hiding. God, it seems, is never without public relations agents, who want to help Him get His name out. They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more

The Loveliest Lynchee Series

Free At Last

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 13, 2003

Funeral sermon for Yvan Vital, Haitian freedom fighter. We lose our freedom if we allow ignorance and apathy to take us over; but to learn and to feel is to claim the justice that God will complete.

I God has made us free. That’s the very essence of what God did when He created us. He made us free. He gave each of His creatures a measure of freedom, limiting them to a degree, of course, but nonetheless free. The eagle that soars in the sky, the great whale that plays in the ocean, the ...read more

Genesis 10 – Part 2 – When I Shy Away, Don’t Break My Neck! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 10, 2010

Speaking Of Gideon Series

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Apr 27, 2008

"Thieves Of Thankfulness”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Oct 27, 2018

These thieves of Thankfulness should be stopped and put to the bars of Justice. They should be imprisoned and never to be released again in our lives. These are spirits which should be subjected to the One who is Greater and dwells inside of us.

The Law And The Christian Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Christians have recognized what observant men of all ages have noticed, and that is, that law that is a respecter of persons is an instrument of evil, whereas, law that treats all men equally is an instrument for justice.
