The Suffering Saint

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

Make no mistake about it, SAINTS and SINNERS in this life suffer. Some who promote “Easy-Believism” in order to win converts to the Lord, paint a picture of the Christian life as a fairy tale.

You accept the Lord and live happily ever after. But that is not true. SAINTS, like the SINNERS in this life have their share of suffering. • We may not suffer for the same reasons they suffer, but we suffer • Many times for the SAINTS and the SINNERS, the sufferings come from bad decisions they ...read more

Build On A Sure Foundation

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 2, 2023

Notice, Jesus doesn't use bricks to build His church. He uses people. Imperfect people at that. We are those transgressors and sinners that are referred to at the first of this chapter.

Father’s Best Robe

Contributed by Samuel M on Dec 17, 2024

The best robe that Father gives to all prodigal sinners is the robe of Christ's righteousness. It removes(covers) all guilt, shame, defeat, and nakedness, making us acceptable to God.

Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.’ Luke 11:22 The best robe that Father gives to all prodigal sinners is the robe of Christ's righteousness.

No Doubts About Jesus

Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Nov 13, 2010

More trustworthy sayings. The real deal from scripture. 1- Salvation can come to the ignorant and unbelieving 2- Mercy can be shown to the worst of sinners 3- Glory will come to the eternal King

INTRO.- Trust me. I’ve heard it said that you should never trust a person who says, “Trust me.” It’s more like never trust a politician who says, “Trust me.” Someone said: Never trust a restaurant that has a sign that reads, “Mama’s home cooking.” Especially, if there are no cars at that ...read more

The Old Rules Uncloaked

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 13, 2009

MLK Sunday: In the beloved community we no longer need to think of over and under. The old way is a prison; Christ sees us as sinners in need of grace, and therefore all children of His, family.

When our children were small, they liked to play games with us. But they liked it best when they could win. Whether it was crazy eights, or chutes and ladders, or just hide-and-go-seek, our children loved to play games as long as they could win. If they lost too much they would burst into tears and ...read more

Zacchaeus The Tax-Collector
