Why did the Temple of Jerusalem have to come down?

The Mission Transcends Mere Geography

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 9, 2025

The fame of Jesus spread far from Capernaum and His words and healing were affecting many thousands, preparing both Jew and Gentile for the expansion of the Church after Pentecost .

Friday of the Fifth Week in Course 2025 Most modern Christians in North America, I believe, are unfamiliar with first-century geography, even of the Holy Land. I think if I use a midwestern U.S. parable, it might be easier to envision than what St. Mark records in his Gospel here. Let’s try ...read more

Judgement Begins With The House Of God

Contributed by Paul Green on Mar 12, 2023

God’s judgement is inescapable. How do you think you will fair on that day? What are the deeds in your life that you will need to give account of? Will they commend you or will they condemn you?

Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming. One second he was peacefully perched in his cage. The next he was sucked in, washed up, and blown over.

Because He Lives Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Apr 12, 2023

The Resurrection of Jesus has happened. Jesus is alive, and as the words of the old song says: Because He lives, I can face tomorrow; Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living just because He lives.

Hard Sayings: How To Accept Them

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 21, 2024

The problem with “nice” religion is that it isn’t religion at all, and today’s three Scriptural passages are proof of that reality.

Nineteenth Sunday in Course 2024 Hard Sayings There’s a very popular opinion about religion, and I think you may be already aware of it. Folks often think that religion ought to be “nice.” In other words, religion should make you feel good about yourself, first, and then, if possible, about other ...read more

Am I My Brother's Keeper?

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 13, 2025

Cain’s defiant question “Am I my brother’s keeper?” denied responsibility for Abel’s life. The gospel calls us instead to love and protect others, with Jesus as the true Keeper.

It sounds noble—like a call to look after one another. But here’s the surprise: those words were never a command ...read more

Let’s not cluck our tongues at these sinful Israelites; we and our culture are just as guilty.
