Then They Understood

When Jesus came into the lives of those fishermen from Galilee, His message sounded so different from anything they had ever heard. He did not teach as those leaders in the synagogue. The Sermon on the Mount ends with these words. “The people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Matt.…

Seeing By Faith, Not By Sight

Paul’s description of how saints see the world explains so much about how differently we look at all that is happening when compared to most of those around us.

Why are popular TV shows like NCIS so popular for season after season? Perhaps it is because there are those hidden clues to solve every crime? How do you explain the fascination of escape…

How Do You Read the Bible?

The reading of the Scriptures is so vital to our spiritual growth in the Lord. To see this, consider the instruction Moses gave to every king who ruled over Israel.
