Does This One Count?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 4, 2004

We ought to have to pay the penalty of sin because we refuse to obey. But God in Christ has done what we could never do for ourselves and has given us a fresh start.

I walked across the street to where my best friend lived, and found him in the back yard, with his father, engaged in something new: they were throwing ...read more

The Gift Of Love

Contributed by Clair Sauer on Dec 4, 2013

The coming of Christ at Christmas was God's most extravagant declaration of his love for us, a love that should change each of us and the way we love.

One of the most profound and lasting lessons I learned in seminary was in my Systematic Theology class, as we were “unpacking” the meaning and significance of the Holy Spirit. I can remember so vividly my professor saying, “There are many ‘spirits’ in this world. ...read more

Now You Hear It, Now You Don't Series

Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 10, 2007

Now you hear it, now you don’t is selective hearing and if we heard at all, before long it is gone away. What we really need is “Now I hear it… Yeah I still hear it.” Then the seeds of faith are growing in the richest soil of our lives.

Most of you know, we spent Fourth of July weekend with my parents. My father has some hearing difficulty, but his greatest hearing difficulty is convenient hearing and not paying attention to what is being said around him. That can be said of many of us. Sunday afternoon he and I were watching ...read more

The Church Does Not Enter The Tribulation – Reasons That Prove It – Part 4 Of 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 25, 2024

Earlier I wrote a three part series on why the Church can not be in the Tribulation that is coming. Here is a Part 4. Jesus has borne the wrath against sin on my behalf at Calvary so there is no way He sends us into God’s coming wrath in the Tribulation.
