Consider The True Glory Of Our King!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Oct 23, 2023

In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

The Good Old Days? Oh Please!

Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 12, 2005

Slightly sarcastic view of "the good old days". Like the scripture, this reminds people to live in the present, and not long for so-called better days of the past.
