    As Shay Bradley’s coffin was being lowered into the ground at a cemetery in Dublin, Ireland, last year (October 2019), another sound cut into the mournful strains of the bagpipes.

     | 241 views

    True faith is shown by compassion for others; ignoring those in need hardens our hearts and distances us from God’s grace and eternal hope.

    Friends, welcome. Some stories slip past our defenses and sit down in the living room of our hearts. Jesus tells one of those stories today. It hums with hope and honesty. It whispers to our comfort and calls to our conscience. It lifts our chin so we can see the person at the gate and the God who ...read more

    Jesus showed up 4 days late for Lazarus' funeral. Why? And what can that mean to us as Christians?

    Social Media (texting/twitter/etc.) has created a whole new set of terms. These terms are called “acronyms”, and they’re basically abbreviations of common phrases.

    To The Church Of The Namby Pamby

    Contributed by Jeremy Long on Jul 19, 2025

    If John could have seen the Church today when writing the Revelation, I think he wouldn't have been quite so biblically polite in the Letter he would send to it.

    To the Church of the Namby-Pamby I’ve been somewhat bothered with something lately and can’t seem to get it off of my mind. A feeling that God is pushing us to get things sorted quickly because His return is VERY SOON. Anyone else felt this? Felt the urgency of the church’s mission? Felt like ...read more

    Maybe we think we have pulled the wool over God’s eyes, that God doesn’t see what we are doing, or know what is going on inside our hearts & minds.
