How Much Are You Worth ?

Contributed by Tim Gibson on Nov 23, 2000

What is your true worth ?

He Sure Doesn't Look Like Much

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Jan 10, 2004

Baptism of Our Lord: Many people missed the Messiah because ’He sure didn’t look like much.’ But veiled in flesh and blood, fulfilling all righteousness, was God Himself.

Just a few weeks ago we celebrated the birth of the Savior. God – the eternal, the almighty Logos – the second Person of the Trinity – became flesh and blood, like we are. There He lay, in a manger in a stable. And He needed tending to. Mother needed to feed Him and change his diapers and comfort ...read more

Refocusing!

Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Jan 28, 2013

Many times we have wavered and slowed down and come to a standstill. We have looked around in uncertainty ...read more
