Building Bigger Barns

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 2, 2023

The real fools are those who, being satisfied with their lives as they are, forget God, forget their neighbors, and forget their mortality.

What is wrong with this picture? Imagine that you are in the audience that long-ago day in Judea, listening to Jesus preach. There are thousands in the crowd, but you got there early.

The Most Dangerous Word In The Bible

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 20, 2024

When asked, people thought the most dangerous word might be ‘hate,’ ‘hell,’ 'fear,' 'revenge,' or 'death.' But the answer is a word much more innocent looking; it's the word "TOMORROW!"
