    Christianity is unique in our belief that God has become one of us. and Mary waste one favoured by God to bring this miracle to birth.

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 24, 2022
     | 869 views

    Was the miserable son wasteful? Why did the father not punish the young son, if he deserved it? Was the maddened son self-centered and resentful?

    Verses 11 – 19: Was the miserable son wasteful? The young son’s portion of the property was 33% (Deuteronomy 21:17). By and large, he would have gotten this at his father’s death, although fathers in some cases decided to split their property early and resign from dealing with the estates. What is ...read more

    The misconduct of one statesman can lay waste a nation. It only takes one drunk driver on the highway to leave a scar and an empty chair in a family.

    Disturbance Jonah 1:4-6 This is our third lesson in the book of Jonah. If we could take one word and maybe describe the first two verses, we would have to say duty. And if we used one word to describe what we read in verse 3 we would have to say disobedience. Duty and disobedience should not be ...read more

    A Life Unwasted

     | 1,038 views

    When human beings ignore the law of God, set up for our benefit, laid down so that human families and societies will be places to grow and prosper, everything is constantly on the verge of utter disorder.

    A Life Unwasted The other evening I was watching an old movie, and by that I mean from the eighties of the last century. It wasn’t particularly good, but it dramatized a lot about the culture of Washington, DC residents living at the top of the socio-economic heap at the time. One of the ...read more

    It is a sickly, acrid, repulsive stench that makes you curl your face into an involuntary grimace and hold your nose. In the Valley of Hinnom, outside Jerusalem, refuse is burned continually day and night. Jesus uses it as a picture of Hell.

    Matthew 13:36-43 - HELL, GOD’S WASTE MANAGEMENT CENTRE - Part 11 I watch as hell is washed inland with the momentum of an earthquake behind it, a wave of burning cars, buildings and debri. And in its wake the devastation of thousands lost. Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear explosion. In the Valley of ...read more
