Contributed by William L. Vincent on Aug 6, 2011

Walking Into Hell With Clean Feet

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 21, 2022

The last evening Jesus spent with His disciples (John 13-17) had Him showing the act of service towards others by washing their feet. Judas Iscariot's feet were cleaned as well, but his heart remained dirty and unresponsive to this final outreach of compassion as he planned Jesus' betrayal.

This year (2022) marks the fiftieth anniversary of the premiere of the film "A Thief in the Night", one of the first Christian films to present the subject of the last days and how it would impact life as we know it. The quality of the film is primitive by today's standards, but ...read more

Sticks And Stones

Contributed by David Roth on May 2, 2020

Easter 5(A) In His death Christ opened an ocean of mercy for the whole world. We who have received that mercy, who live in His mercy, cannot help but to be merciful and forgiving towards others. Christ forgives so we forgive. He has forgiven us and removed our hearts of stone.

Contributed by Graham Kettle on Oct 14, 2014

Do we live like Christ’s Disciples, or are we tending towards the ‘pagan’ lifestyle? If we are true Disciples, then we have no choice, for we do what the Master requires of us. If we don’t care what the Master says, then we are living more like the pagan.

Contributed by David Owens on Feb 26, 2023

In this final "one another" from our "One Anothering" series, we explore what it means to spur one another on toward love and good deeds. One of the challenging sides of loving one another, is our duty to provoke and challenge each other to be all that God has called us to.

Bout With Doubt

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025

Not Without The Lord You Don’t.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 10, 2024

The apostle Paul had the ability to look back on his life journey. (We all reminisce, don't we)? I’m sure He remembered, his training, his year of study, the discipline, his attitude toward law breakers, but now Paul is aware of his lack, and his need for spirit leadership.
