Weeds In My Garden

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 8, 2003

The arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane shows us what sin is like: it is ordinary, it is out of place, it is pervasive. Jesus is the master gardener who can eradicate our "weeds".

You Mean To Tell Me God Was A Baby!

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Dec 18, 2002

The Power Of Shared Suffering

Contributed by David Simmons on Nov 26, 2000

Because Jesus understands our suffering, we do not suffer alone.

INTRODUCTION If I were writing the Bible, I probably would have left this passage out.
