Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The Christian not motivated by the heavenly hope will soon be a worldly Christian, for he will not be able to pull away from the value system of the world, since he has no higher value system that makes it look shabby in comparison.

The leaders of Rome mocked the idea of immortality, and they did not live this life with any ...read more

Pagan Piety Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

We see here an example of how God can use evil to bring forth good. Jonah disobeyed and did the opposite of God's will, and yet there was no loss, for by his act of evil he was led providentially to bring the knowledge of the true God to these men.

Total depravity is not the concept that man is as bad as he can be, for we all know that there are many degrees of evil among the lost, and this holds true even among the saved. Some redeemed people are less sinful than others, and some lost people are less sinful than others. Total depravity, ...read more

The Day Of Visitation (Palm Sunday 2019)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 26, 2022

The display that they gave Jesus in His triumphal entry proved to be superficial over the next few days. They praised Him at the beginning of the week and voted for His crucifixion on Friday of that same week.

THE DAY OF VISITATION Text: Luke 19:28-44 In his book Strengthening Your Grip, Charles Swindoll made an interesting observation that is probably not so easily perceived very often---the difference between discipleship and prophecy. He said,"Christians all around the world will line up to ...read more
