A New Name

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 5, 2003

As we think about the new year, we need to see that: 1. God is always doing a new thing. 2. Only God can bring about real change. 3. God’s new name for us means a new beginning.

Claiming The Name

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 5, 2001

By following Christ’s example we can know that there is a BIG difference between "saying" that we’re a Christian and BEING a Christian.

TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE USING THIS TITLE AS IF IT WERE ONLY A SUMMATION OF THEIR LIVES AS BEING A GOOD, DECENT, CHURCH-GOING, LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A "TITLE" TO BE ABUSED OR USED AS LEVERAGE. A CHRISTIAN IS WHAT ONE BECOMES ...read more

The first, ...read more
