     | 7,061 views

    Perhaps one of the most intriguing passages of scripture is that of Paul's mention of the "thorn in his flesh." Paul expounded upon his metaphor of the thorn as he said that it was something that kept his pride in check.

    THORNS AND GRACE 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 I remember going barefoot as a ten year old kid, when I was living in Aiken as a preacher’s kid. As I was going barefoot, I wound up stepping on a board that had three nails in it. The pain got my attention and definitely ...read more

    Return To The Gold Standard

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 6, 2023

    "Doing to others as you would have them do to you" is another way of saying "Love your neighbor as yourself," which isn't easy. Love seeks their long term good, not their short term happiness.

    About 50 years before Jesus’ time, two famous rabbis were competing for the future of Judaism. One, Rabbi Shammai, was an engineer known for the strictness of his views. The Talmud - that is, the authoritative commentary on the Hebrew scriptures - tells that a gentile came to Shammai and told him ...read more

    Christ’s humility reveals heaven’s heart—God stooping in love. When His mind lives in us, pride dies, grace flows, and hearts rise.

    I. The Heartbeat of Heaven There are moments in Scripture that let us overhear the heartbeat of heaven. Philippians 2 : 5-11 is one of them. It’s as if Paul pulls back the curtain and lets us listen to how God thinks and feels. It’s not thunder or trumpet—it’s the quiet pulse of divine ...read more
