    For Transfiguration Sunday: we, like the disciples, have not imagined Christ as who He is, we as who we can become, or the cost of glory ... losing our lives to save them.

    Every one who teaches knows what a mighty struggle it is to teach anybody anything and make it stick. Students come to school drowsy and distracted.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 3, 2025
     | 216 views

    The Wheat and the Tares is a well-known parable and we dissect it to look at the meaning and practical issues involved. It has had application to the whole of Church history and today those in oversight in churches need to be very cautious and stay alert for the entry of false teaching.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE SECOND – THE WHEAT AND THE TARES – Part 1 of 2 We come to the second of the Kingdom Parables commonly known as The Parable of the Tares.

    In Jesus’ final prayer for His disciples, He prays for their protection, that they will remain faithful, joyful, unscathed, and sanctified. If this were His concerns, these must also be our prayer concerns for one another today.
