Honouring Our Parents

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2017

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honour your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’” [1] The last days are described in frightful detail in Paul’s final letter to ...read more

One of the common themes in modern news reporting is the "failure to act" story. Reporters mention attacks in places like Bagdad and Syria and how forces have failed to act to repel ISIS.

Please Don't Chase The Dove Away

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Aug 28, 2023

This phrase refers to the Holy Spirit, often symbolized as a dove, and the warning it carries against actions that grieve the Holy Spirit and lead to division within the church. Our unity is a powerful force that can bring about significant change in the church and in the world.

From Frustration To Faith Series

Habakkuk was perplexed why god seemed inactive when both church and state of Israel was corrupt but was assured that God was working his purposes out.

Do you sometimes get frustrated? If so, you’re not alone. The prophet Habakkuk did! The golden days for Israel when King David and King Solomon ruled a united and prosperous nation were long gone.

Remembrance Day - Then And Now

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 28, 2000

The Israelites soon forgot their marvellous deliverance in the Exodus from Egypt - just as we today forget God’s mercies - which is why a Remembrance Day is a necessary challenge to remember what we were, what happened and what we should be.
