    Easter: Jesus’ death and resurrection gave us the gift of salvation and eternal life. But what else did it accomplish? It gave us the promise of renewal and transformation in our everyday lives and over our trials and troubles.

We want to hear of the hope that we no longer have to be condemned to an eternal spiritual death, ...read more

    What Kind Of Hands Do You Have?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022
     | 4,495 views

    We want to look again at the kinds of hands we have. There are all kinds of hands, cold hands, tired hands, full hands, hurting hands, helping hands, holy hands, etc..

    God gave us two hands because God has a lot for us to do for Him. The shame of many today is that they will use their hands to provide for themselves, but will not use them to provide for the work of the Lord. Illus: Our hands are very valuable to us, but some hands are more valuable than ...read more

    It Is Your Responsibility

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 25, 2002
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,803 views

    We can’t gussy up our attitudes or actions to make them seem righteous on the outside and think that we are pleasing God. It’s much better to be transparent and let God deal with you, than try to hide sin under a pretty blanket.

    The latest answer when you are caught making a mistake, doing something wrong – even breaking the law is: There was an error in judgment. Not, I goofed, or I’m guilty – but an error in judgment was made. That goes right along with this one: "I assume responsibility for all of my actions, except the ...read more

    Mary Magdalene was a woman who had felt the scars of other’s remarks and the rumors that had been circulated about her. The rumors continue to this day and yet, on Easter morning, Mary Magdalene was set free by the scars of victory.

    The hand that rocks the cradle may very well be the hand that determines the eternal destiny of our children.

    Title: The value of mothers There is a modern proverb that most of us have heard that says: ‘the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.’ While not all proverbs found outside the Bible are true this one is. And it’s true because the person who rocks the cradle will also be the person who will ...read more
