Principle Of Harvest

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

The Wedding At Cana Series

Contributed by Sonny Thomas, Sr. on Jan 10, 2009

Understanding the Scriptures, one can see the wealth of evidence which would render strong drink and intoxicating beverages as inappropriate for use by believers – use for drunkenness or simple social consumption.

In this passage we can find that Mary evidently was a friend or even a relative of those in the wedding party and took a principle part in the preparation of the wedding feast. Jesus and the disciples were invited. Whether the family was poor and had not enough refreshments, or whether there was ...read more

French Horns Or Paper Dolls?

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 30, 2002

Which would you rather be - a Christian who puts on Christ’s character like a costume, or an instrument playing beautiful music in God’s hands?
