Isn't Being Good, Good Enough?

Contributed by Matthew Sickling on Apr 5, 2007

The question this young man asked Jesus is a question that many people today are still asking. “What good thing must I do to get eternal life?” In other words, what do you have to do in order to go to Heaven when you die?

Is He Your God? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Good Friday: Psalm 22 is an amazingly accurate depiction of the events that surrounded Jesus’ crucifixion, and there is a lot we can learn from this passage about God’s character and His power over both life and death.

Our passage that we will examine today is amazing, for it is a prophecy of the passion story, or an account of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, that was written nearly 800 years before the birth of Jesus. James Smith says that, “Such a hope [as is found in this passage] must be restricted to the ...read more

God Is A God Of Goodness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Any time people are special in our lives, we want to tell others about them.
