    Jesus tells His disciples that anyone who eats His flesh and drinks His blood has eternal life. Why did they doubt? Jesus says, "This is my body" and "This is my blood". Why do we doubt His word?

    -Obviously, blood is absolutely essential to life. No human can live without blood. -For those who have experienced massive blood loss due to great trauma, a blood transfusion can be the difference between life and death -For those with anemia, low red blood cell count, or thrombocytopenia, low ...read more

    Many Christians are against Harry Potter, but look at what he stands for: not magic as evil, but decency, loyalty, honesty and prevailing against oppression. Don’t reject Harry without thought.

    With so much hatred, evil, terrorism, and now destruction by Hurricane Katrina present in our world today, how can we know that "God Is Good, all the time?" This sermon answers that question.

    GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME --PSALM 23; HEBREWS 12:3-11; JOHN 10:7-18 Gary Younge, a reporter for the British newspaper THE GUARDIAN is covering the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi and Louisiana.

    Jesus encounters a man with so many demons the man says his name is "Legion." Yet, the community is not afraid of this man. Like our culture, the biblical community had grown comfortable with evil.

Maynard Pittendreigh, Jr. Sunrise Presbyterian Church Miami Florida Pittendreigh@aol.com When I was in high school, there was a local legend about the Blue Ghost of Maddox Bridge Road.

    St Anselm Patron Of American Bishops

     | 2,373 views

    The Church is Incarnational, and must have both a sacred and secular existence, and yet must not become subservient to the state, whether kings or democratically elected tyrants who would make us do evil.

    St. Anselm Day April 21, 2011 If today’s lesson from Acts chapter 6 has any historical meaning at all, it is a confirmation that there have always been little fissures forming in the living stones that make up the Church. Early in our history, Greek-speaking converts to Judaism were ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 20, 2014
     | 3,160 views

    If we are to effectively witness the Gospel to the world, regarding all kinds of evil, and living virtuous lives, we must do exactly as God has done to us: love the sinner and hate the sin.

    It’s amazing how similar the climate in the Holy Land is to the climate here in South Texas, especially in the summer. The figs in our back yard are ripening, and I understand that this hot month in Palestine is also the season for ripe figs. The Scriptures are right even on agricultural ...read more

    Believing In God Yet Not Knowing Him

    Contributed by James Dina on Oct 1, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,552 views

    The person that knows God will give an experimental taste and relish of the goodness of God, that God is good but a fool will hinder his own proficiency in the knowledge of God to enable him do evil to his satisfaction.

    BELIEVING IN GOD YET NOT KNOWING HIM " Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." ( 1 John 4:8) Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him; The number of His years is unsearchable (Job 36:26). It is a great thing to know ...read more

    The Moment To Decide

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 2, 2024
     | 390 views

    Every generation has a defining moral question, often between life and death, but always between good and evil. In the nineteenth century, it was for the right to choose ownership of other humans, or against the exploitation of slaves.

    Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Course 2024 Today’s Gospel hits the lukewarm Christian right in the gut, if it first has an encounter with his head. Christ’s disciples have asked Him if there will be only a few humans saved. Jesus jumps right to the main point, telling them something more ...read more

    God's Protection In Captivity Series

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023
     | 2,160 views

    God will never forsake His own. In captivity, God will protect the righteous from evil rulers so their captivity will be no more than they can stand. Look at the life of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

    Let us begin a study of the book of Daniel to understand the protection of righteous Hebrew children during the captivity. God has always promised to his righteous he would always be with them in time of peril. The very nature of man is to wonder or worry about their future. When under stress, the ...read more

    "we're All One Family"

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 15, 2023
     | 1,325 views

    Prejudice is a social evil present in every culture of our fallen world. It is holding negative attitudes towards others based on generalizations and stereotypes, resulting in discrimination. It is forming conclusions without consulting the facts.

    The Apostle Paul affirms the unity and diversity of all nations in Acts 17. He was addressing Greeks who regarded themselves as superior race. Race matters only to racists; the rest of us care about character. It is distressing how people have twisted this passage to justify segregation. In ...read more

     | 333 views

    The book of Zephaniah is a short one, with only three chapters, which tells us that God will deal with evil, and a day will come when He will save, heal, bring back, and appoint us for praise.

    “Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you; I will save the lame, and gather those who were driven out; I will appoint them for praise and fame in every land where they were put to shame.” Zephaniah 3:19 Total turnaround for God’s glory is what you and I expect during this ...read more

     | 718 views

    The anointing was God’s seal of approval upon Jesus’ life and ministry. It empowered Him to confront evil, restore the broken, and do the will of the Father with excellence and impact. That same anointing is available for believers today.

    The existence of terrible things happening in the world is a complex and challenging aspect of our human experience. We seek to understand this in light of our beliefs about God, the fallen nature of humanity, and the presence of evil.
