Look On Us!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 31, 2015

The word ‘US’ has vanished from our vocabulary! ‘ME’ stands out! If at all the word ‘US’ operates, it is for agitation and not for edification! Hear me out today please!

Look on us! Acts 3:1”And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.” Many times we focus on the healing of the 40 year old man who sat near the temple, but I would like you to focus on the words of Peter and John here: ’Look on us!” Rarely we hear ...read more

What Does Holy Mean? Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 13, 2021

There are several words in our “Holy vocabulary” that even Christians don’t fully understand. Taking a closer look at some of these Holy words to make sure that we fully understand them before we use them.

As I was praying over what direction God would have me to go, God brought my attention to the fact that, as Christians, we have a unique vocabulary. We tend to use words that a non-Christian might not understand. So, when trying to witness to someone, we should be careful to use words they can ...read more

Before The Throne Of God (Revelation 4: 2-11)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 31, 2024

How can anyone describe with our limited human vocabulary the glory and wonder of God's heaven? John's vision shows that God is in control of the events here on earth and will bring all of history to a conclusion on HIs terms.

Revelation Chapter 4 opens with the apostle John being commanded to "come up here" (v.1). He is brought to the throne room of God Almighty in all of its glory and majesty. It is far more beautiful and magnificent than any kind of palace built for kings and emperors here on Earth. What ...read more

Joy And Sorrow And "fun" Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 4, 2024

My boss said he wished he could expunge the word “fun” from our students’ working vocabulary. Now knowing what students at our all-boy high school could do outside supervision, I tended to agree.

Joy, Sorrow and “Fun” Some time ago, I listened to a sermon by the local pastor. He told us that the Ten Commandments were given to us by God so that we could all “enjoy” life. I’m sure there are many, even Christians, who would question that. After all, the Commandments are largely a list of ...read more

Longsuffering: A Fruit Of The Spirit Series

Stay Away From The Cookie Jar Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 4, 2012

There are different reasons that we fall into this trap. (1) We just want to be popular. We want people to like us. (2) we do not know how to say the word no. No is one of the shortest words in our vocabulary, one of the most powerful words for some

The Garden Tomb – The Sagacity Of Patience (9/12) Series

Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Oct 12, 2020

“Game over. Jesus was dead. We lost.” The Disciples stopped believing and gave up waiting. Sagacity is the quality of being discerning, patient, farsighted and wise. Don't lose faith in troubled times. Immediate/Instant are not always part of God’s vocabulary.

Transfiguration

Contributed by James Jerpseth on Mar 1, 2001

The word Transfiguration is another way to say transformed. We too have been transformed by the power of hte resurrection and hte love of Jesus.

One of my favorite parts of confirmation is the day we spend in the Church going over the special vocabulary that we have in the Church world. It is a funny thing that we have a different "Churchy" name for everything that we would otherwise call by its normal or non-churchy name. For example, ...read more
