Contributed by David Smith on Nov 2, 2010

Now I know I’m being a little free with my translation here. I know most translations say that Jesus told them a 'parable' rather than a 'joke', but I'm not the first person to suggest that 'joke' is actually a very good translation. # Did you here the one about the frog and the scorpion who were ...read more

John The Cactus Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Aug 11, 2023

August 12, 2023 One Sabbath, after church, a mom asked her little girl what the picture she had drawn was supposed to be.

Comfort

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Apr 6, 2005

Be Careful What You Wish For

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 24, 2015

Sometimes we leave God out of our desires and plans. We must always go to God for guidance, especially when we face life’s challenges. Our desire to imitate the world may seem righteous at first, but it will result in destruction.

The Lingering Gloom Of Sleeping In The Bed We Made Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 13, 2016

Jesus Endorses The Law

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 26, 2023

When Jesus endorsed the law, and said that we are to be more righteous than the Pharisees, did He mean that we are to keep all 613 Old Testament commandments more rigidly, or in a completely different manner? Let's find out in Matthew 5.

Let’s examine salt, light and the law in Matthew 5:13-20. Salt & Light What are Christ’s disciples? You are ...read more

It Is Time

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 5, 2010

Hosea tells Israel it is time for them to seek Jehovah that He might hear their prayer and see the evidence of their sincerity and rain His righteous blessing upon them rather than judgment. Like Israel I believe God is telling us today that “It is Time.”

It is Time Hosea 10:12 “Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.” After the death of Solomon, In 922 BCE, the Kingdom of Israel was divided.
