He is Risen
This is a repost from five years ago but the story of Mary Magdalene seeing Jesus and hearing him speak her name, never gets old for me. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then […]
Guilt by Association
Would we judge Jesus guilty by association today? I dare say many would. Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your […]
Our Never-Changing Rock
Growing older, the more grateful I’ve become for the truth that, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb. 13:8). The Eternal Friend It is well that there is one who is ever the same and who is ever with us. It is well that there is one stable rock amidst […]
Israel and the promises of God
From Part 3 in the series, Rightly dividing the word of truth, by Kevin Daly ‘The Old Testament promises a national salvation of Israel, it promises a natural restoration when the Jews will live in peace in the whole Promised Land, and nothing in the New Testament can cancel those divine unconditional promises, and if it […]
If Jesus Stopped by…
Reading over some old items I’ve saved through the years I came upon this link to a post from 2007 at Sermon Index: I wonder what a sermon from Jesus would sound like today? If he walked into your Sunday morning service, what would He preach on? What would the title be? Would He need […]
Quiz examines how consistently Christians are living out the teachings of Jesus Christ
No surprise here… quote: An online quiz started a year ago that examines how consistently Christians are living out the teachings of Jesus Christ has found an increase in the number of believers who are “Christians in name only.” “The results are disturbing, as 1 in 3 self-proclaimed Christians admit they rarely live the teachings […]
“Come and See” – Sitting at the Feet of Jesus
Ed Kimball was a Sunday School teacher. He was rather timid too. For a year a young man who worked in a shoe shop had attended his class every Sunday. Ed felt prompted to visit the guy at work. But as he approached the shop, he decided to come back another time. He was halfway […]
Sing to Jesus – Fernando Ortega
Cal emailed me the link to this beautiful video… Thank you brother!!!
Jesus – a Practicing Socialist
An excellent message by Rick Frueh. It is impossible to read the New Testament and not see the theme of redemption through faith in Jesus Christ. In fact, that is the exclusive theme in both the Old and New Testament. The sacrifice of God’s Son upon the cross provided redemption for whosever will believe. And […]
Does Jesus exercise His divine will upon the earth?
“God’s kingly rule over the hearts of men and over the world may be thought of as having a number of phases. The first is the prophesied kingdom, such as that foretold by Daniel. The second phase is the present kingdom, the one that existed at the time of John the Baptist and that he […]
Quote of the Day…
Presidential candidate Herman Cain, from his 2010 article “The Perfect Conservative,” Referring to Jesus: The liberal court found Him guilty of false offenses and sentenced Him to death….Never before and not since has there ever been such a perfect conservative….For over 2,000 years the world has tried hard to erase the memory of the perfect […]
Jesus of Nazareth and the Temple’s destruction
This newest teaching from Messianic Good News answers a question which has plagued me for years, concerning the Western Wall… Quote Not only did God choose to speak through people, but people often choose to speak on behalf of God. How then do we tell the difference between those entrusted with Divine revelation and those spreading […]
A Physician Explains the Crucifixion of Jesus
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And […]
Thoughts from Spurgeon on the New Year
Excerpts from Sermon for the New Year delivered on Thursday Evening, January 1st, 1885, by C. H. Spurgeon, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington; “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.”—Revelation 21:5. HOW PLEASED WE ARE with that which is new! Our children’s eyes sparkle when we talk of […]
I Wonder as I Wander
This old song came to mind this evening; and though this is a re-post, (I also posted it last year during Christmas) I wanted to share it again. In the season when Christians around the world are celebrating the birth of Jesus, this simple little tune is a sober reminder that Jesus was born to […]
“Mercy Walked In”
This is a favorite of mine. Gordon Mote has sure been blessed by God with talent and a beautiful voice. I’m so glad he uses both to Glorify the Lord. This time every year I find myself contemplating anew, the Cross, the blood, and Jesus’ self-sacrifice. My heart overflows with renewed gratitude for the morning […]
“Contrast”
Contrast: to compare in order to show unlikeness or differences; to note the opposite natures, purposes, etc. – (Dictionary.com) If there was ever an example of the word contrast in relation to our Churches today, check out the two lead stories at the Christian Post: Evangelicals Urged to Heed Calvin’s Voice Hundreds of Reformed believers […]
Jesus in the 21st Century
The exhibit, The Journeys Project, will surely stir up controversy within some Christian circles, particularly among modern day Pharisees. Christian Post: A veteran fashion photographer who is used to having his works featured in Vogue, GQ and Elle, will release his most “rewarding” collection – “Journeys with the Messiah” – on Friday, the eighth anniversary […]
Why were demons common in Jesus’ day?
When you read the Gospels, in particular Mark’s Gospel, its apparent that demons or open demonic manifestation was common. As a young Christian I recall how struck I was by the many recorded instances of demon activity. Even more amazing, was the lack of apparent “shock” by the people who witnessed it. The only conclusion […]
There’s Somebody out there…
I first heard Tommy Bates almost 30 years ago when he was traveling around KY preaching the Gospel at any church who would let him. He was a young man back then, but I can still recall how simply and powerfully he preached God’s word. Since then, he acccepted the call to pastor at a […]
