The Victory Of The Crucified King

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 25, 2022

Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), the assassination of President Kennedy (November 22, 1963), and the terrorist act upon America (September 11, 2001) are all considered "infamous" days. The true "day of infamy" was 2000 years ago, when we attempted to kill God Incarnate.

The central theme of the Gospel is that the Lord Jesus was placed upon the cross for the redemption of our sins. It was an act of mercy, love, grace, and salvation that we did not deserve (Romans 5:6-11). It was also the day that rebellious humanity shook its fist at God Almighty, and the ...read more

Setting Our Minds On Divine Things

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 12, 2024
