Are All Sparrows Equal?

Contributed by Mari Larson on Jun 15, 2014

Bad things do happen to good people. In Matthew 10, Jesus warns the disciples what will happen to them on their mission and then he reminds them that they were, are, and will be precious to God!

It is clearly in our nature to rate and rank others. When Jesus tells us today that we are of more value than sparrows, we’re probably not surprised, but we may wonder about the hierarchy of creation. We’re worth more than sparrows, and sparrows are certainly worth more than ...read more

How Are We To Know The Truth?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 9, 2023

The emphasis of Second John chapter 2 is on the basics of following Christ, of truth and love, and to warn against false teachers. We are not to just read the Word of God, but we are to obey it as well.
