The word “hadel” is used in Ez 3: when God told the prophet that some will listen to the message but there will also be those who refuse to ...read more

Contributed by Troy Borst on Nov 1, 2024

Jesus The Bridegroom

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 9, 2024

We don't talk enough about Jesus the bridegroom. It's one of Jesus' most wonderful titles. It helps us to understand who he is, the kind of relationship he wants with us, and who we are.

I don’t think churches talk about it often enough. It’s one of the most important and wonderful titles of Jesus. When we ...read more

Complete In Jesus

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 9, 2022

Have you ever questioned your salvation? As long as we keep our trust totally in Christ, we stand assured of God’s promise of eternal life. But as soon as we rest any weight on the thin ice of our own efforts, we topple into insecurity.

Some questions we might have are, “What am I supposed to do in order to gain God’s acceptance and love?” “Do I have to read the Bible all the way through?” “Do I have to knock on a million ...read more
