What Do You Have That You Did Not Receive? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 23, 2012

We imagine that we are distinct from everyone else. We are taught in elementary school that there ...read more

What Is Truth? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 18, 2012

Arraigned before Pilate’s judgement seat was Jesus of Nazareth who testified of Himself, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” [JOHN 14:6]. Someone has ...read more

God Of Grace And God Of Glory Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone and it seemed like you could not please them? That’s somewhat true of God, because if you try on the basis of your own behavior to earn God’s approval or his glory, you’ll miss the target every time.
