One is encouraging the other. "Cheer up, it’s Sunday morning. As I see it, we have one more day of guarding the ...read more

Presented To The Lord

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 11, 2002

He Went A Little Farther

Contributed by Jerry Carr on Jun 9, 2001

We find as Jesus went to Gethsemane, Gabbatha, Galgotha, and the Grave, that he conquered every obstacle that was set before him, just as we must.

When we think of Calvary, it speaks of sins forgiven, but in order for those sins to be forgiven there had to be someone to pay the price. It speaks of Peace with God, but before we can experience Peace there must be Victory. It speaks of Eternal Life, but before we can have eternal life, the ...read more
