The Wilderness.

Contributed by W. Leon Morrow on Feb 27, 2009

A Communion Meditation for the first Sunday in Lent. After Baptism, Jesus was compelled to deal with a wilderness situation. What is our wilderness? Jesus was helped by angels. Can we help others in their wilderness times?

Background: I read about Boy Scouts preparing for a backpacking trip to a wilderness area—I think it was Alaska. The scout leader told them to pare down their packs as much as possible. Then he told them to open their sleeping bags, and lay everything out and remove any other extra items. ...read more

Ingratitude is perhaps the most frequent and one of the most grievous of all sins that a Christian can commit.

Trampling The Winepress

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 24, 2014

The authority God has given Jesus Christ to literally (and physically) judge and punish those who turn away from the Father now begins to show. Jesus is no longer the sacrificial lamb, but acts in righteousness with unmerciful authority.

Trampling the Winepress Revelation, Part 23, Revelation 14:17-20 Introduction - On His head is golden crown: signifying royalty and authority - In His hand: a Sickle which has only one use: to harvest -- Think of Jesus stepping to the edge of Heaven to reap what is His! - An angel ...read more

It's A New Season But You Must Seize The Moment

Professing To Be Wise, They Became Fools

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 22, 2023

Atheism is on the rise in America. That is a fact that cannot be rebutted. However, in its claim to be wiser and more "enlightened" that those of us who believe in God, atheism has dragged America into a sewer of ignorance.

The Power Of Discipleship Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 4, 2022

Disciples are formed not informed. Jesus did not just teach the disciples. They learned in the situations like witnessing to the woman at the well. The impressions burned in their mind. This is the “Organic Discipleship” process.

The gospels record many occasions when Jesus addressed large crowds. But when we take an overview of the Gospels we discover that his speaking to the large crowds is not what made the lasting impact. What carried the ministry of Jesus after his death was the time he invested with small ...read more
