     | 3,630 views

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020
     | 1,414 views

    Isaiah foresaw global environmental destruction. That's what we have today.

    People often talk about ratios. We have student-teacher ratio, price-earnings ratio, debt-GDP ratio, power-weight ratio and so on. I’d like to propose a ‘significance-study ratio’ to highlight significant passages of Scripture which we overlook. Today’s passage is one of them. World leaders and ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent- B -- "he Was Among Wild Beasts, And The Angels Ministered To Him.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 19, 2021
     | 1,814 views

    It turns out that the devil is knocking at her door and she says, “I never dreamed he’d have blue eyes and blue jeans.”

    “He was among wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.” In the Greek, these were dangerous animals. These wild animals can remind us that dangers surrounded Jesus all through his life. And ours. e.g. At a United States Army post in the desert of Kuwait, Protestant Chaplain (Major) Barbara ...read more

    Like the eunuch from Ethiopia, we must be open to God's plan in Christ.

    Thursday of 3rd Week of Easter 2015 Joy of the Gospel The Father was surely drawing this Ethiopian to Jesus, and–not by luck–deacon Phillip was on the same road as the African’s chariot. The eunuch had been in Jerusalem to pray and study, so he was either a Jew or an admirer of ...read more

     | 3,839 views

    We must spread the joy of the Gospel as we fight all kinds of enslavement.

    Thursday of First Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel I can’t imagine what it is to be a slave, or, for that matter, like Lincoln, a slave-owner.

    Contributed by Aneel Aranha on Feb 22, 2021
     | 665 views

    In our Lord’s Prayer, we beseech God not to lead us into temptation. Can he? Does he?

    Scripture Reading: Matthew 6:7-15 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed ...read more

    Isn’t God’s mercy good news for all of us? He’s forgiven the sins of my youth, and, yes, even my old age.

    3rd Sunday in Course 2021 Poor Jonah. We can hardly blame him. God tells him to go convert the people and rulers of Nineveh, heart of the Assyrian empire.

    Infinite Love For Infinite Sadness Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 10, 2017
     | 2,611 views

     | 3,161 views
