Faithing - Faith Without Works Is Dead

Lessons From The Coyote

Contributed by John Dixon on Jul 20, 2019

At first glance the sly Coyote seems to be a genius! With every cleverly laid trap and ingenious deception the Coyote meets with failure. There is no better contemporary example of the fool described in the book of Proverbs than the cartoon Coyote.

PROVERBS 26:1-28 (NASB) Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool. 2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, So a curse without cause does not alight. 3 A whip is for the horse, a ...read more

Why I Am No Longer An Evangelical

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Jun 2, 2008

The Evangelical movement has been slipping from its moorings for many years. I believe the departure from orthodoxy is now complete and it is time to separate ourselves from much that is proclaimed under the banner of “Evangelical Christianity.”

Note carefully the indefinite article. This sermon will examine Evangelical the noun. I am not speaking about being evangelical. In that sense, the word evangelical is an adjective describing ones attitude toward sharing the gospel. I am not repudiating my Christian faith, but rather the ...read more

The Predecessor From God

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on Dec 3, 2018

John the Baptist was a predecessor from God at Jesus' Baptism. We today should reflect on all those who have preceded us and helped us to know God, and we should also strive to be predecessors from God for others.

When Opposites Are The Same Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

It is hard for Christians to believe this paradoxical truth that opposites can be the same. That is why so few Christians have a Biblical attitude toward other Christians who hold opposite views.
