    What does the blood of Christ do for us, and why is it such a powerful tool for God to use for fixing our broken lives?

    The American Red Cross in Oklahoma had this interesting poster sent to churches: "I gave my blood. Christ gave his. I gave a pint. He gave all. The needle is small, sharp. The nails were large, dull. The table - soft, restful. The cross - rough, painful. The nurses - kind, gentle. The soldiers ...read more

    A Storm Called Fear

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 4, 2025
     | 1,384 views

    Fear is one of the most common things Christians have to face. We need to distinguish between the enemy or danger and the fear that the enemy or danger produces, and know how to deal with the fear.

    INTRODUCTION Today is the first Sunday of 2025. Happy New Year! I thought that at the start of the year I would review a couple of the most basic aspects of Christian life.

    Depart From Me – I Never Knew You – The Finality Of It Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 19, 2026
     | 115 views

    The gravest words ever spoken and ever to be spoken are these, “Depart from ME!” and equally, “I never knew you.” The message covers a God of love who desires man’s salvation, but a God whose justice and holiness must utter those grave words. We look at those solemn statements.

    DEPART FROM ME – I NEVER KNEW YOU – THE FINALITY OF IT In recent times I have been revisiting some of my poems to write introductions for them and one I came across was looking at what the Lord said from this verse - {{Matthew 7:23 Then I will declare to them, “I NEVER KNEW YOU.
