Cartoon Characters and Christians - A Measure of Integrity -
Mark Parsec (16,584)     
Mark Parsec

Are Part Time Christians Pleasing To God? Some Tough Questions -
Joel Hendon (18,719)  
Joel Hendon
A good place to start the answer to this question is vacation time. When you and family leave on vacation, does your obligations toward our Father get left behind or, are they packed deeply inside one piece of luggage to remain there until you return? Far too many Christians claim the name but it... ( added 1 day 8 hours ago.) |

Husbands Love Your Wife Even As Christ Also Loved the Church....... -
Marcia Balthazar (357) 
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be...

The Pleasures of Sin -
 - Denny Smith (948) 
Is there pleasure in sin? The Bible teaches that sometimes there is that is for a time. You are probably familiar with the passage in the Bible found in Heb. 11:24-25 that speaks of the "pleasures of sin for a season" (KJV) or "the passing pleasures of sin" as the New King James puts it. "By... ( added 8 days ago.) |
Man Is Truly Blessed -
- Zeph Agayo (92) 
My poem below reflects some of my thoughts about the following passages:
"What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You
visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and
You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to... ( added 9 days 17 hours ago.) |
The Prodigal Son When He Came to Himself -
- Denny Smith (948)
The story of the prodigal son as told by Jesus in Luke 15:11-32 is too long to quote here but also so well known that almost everyone acquainted with the Bible at all knows the story and the main thrust of the lesson taught there. However, there is one phrase in the account we do not talk enough... ( added 17 days 5 hours ago.) |

Have you ever heard of Akiane, the child prodigy who's been setting the world on its ear since she was four?

I Hate Church -
Jon Searles (2,087) 
Jon Searles
Religion will always be a focal point of debate as long as man has breath on this earth. Ironically, when he or she no longer is able to express their opinion in the religion debate, they will know if they were on the right side or wrong side of the argument. An interesting sub topic of debate... ( added 97 days 9 hours ago.) |
The Suffering of Others: Where Do Family and Friends Fit In? -
- Jean Purcell (1,882)   
Jean Purcell
It is one thing to have one's own sufferings. It is another and often harder thing to watch the suffering of others. Especially in cases of chronic illness and unrelenting pain. Our helplessness in such situations eventually is likely to stretch and test us and our faith in God.
Sometimes we... ( added 1 year 30 days ago.) |
The Truth about Patience -
- Teresa Ortiz (10,864) 
Teresa Ortiz
My friend and I were having a wonderful conversation about life changes, God's timing, and God's plan for our lives.
I purposely left out the "P" word, otherwise known as patience, and she just had to throw it in.
"No, I didn't mention the "P" word, Shish about the "P" word." I say... ( added 1 year 59 days ago.) |

I Met Jesus -- And He Didn’t Look Right -
- Yangki Christine Akiteng (131,866)  
Yangki Christine Akiteng
Just like everyone else, I have my good days and I have my bad days. Last week was a series of those bad days. But I am not going to go in depth about my "trials" because talking about "problems" never gets anyone anywhere -- but straight to depression. Instead I'd rather share one incident that...

Vindication: Good Movies, Bad Gospel -
- Steve Radford (1,026) 
Steve Radford
I love vindication, don't you? A driver nearly runs you off the road as he speeds past. A few miles down the road you see a cop writing him a speeding ticket. Vindication. Someone embarrasses you in a meeting in an effort to elevate his position. A few months later, corporate restructuring... ( added 1 year 199 days ago.) |
A Command To Christians: Love Deeply -
Laura Trahan (38,428) 
Laura Trahan
We have recently been bombarded by the news lately that as Christians we are "judgmental, unforgiving, hypocritical, old-fashioned, anti-homosexual" and I am sure both Christians and non-Christians can add a lot more adjectives.
A book released by the Barna Group entitled unChristian just... ( added 1 year 253 days ago.) |
The Lords Name In Vain -
Michael Kocis (1,044) 
Michael Kocis
I believe something may have been revealed to me over this past year, not something really troubling, but a fact I've wondered about through the years.
The idea of " Do not take the Lords name in vain." What does that really mean ? Now everyone I've asked, to the person, has given the exact... ( added 1 year 282 days ago.) |
The heart of Christ. -

Robert Melaccio, Sr.
As I sat here thinking of my own hurt and all the hurt in the world, the pain, the suffering, it came to pass that no one in this entire world has ever felt the total and combined pain and suffering of every pain inflicted or ever imagined mental, physical and spiritual, if those words could ever...

Aaron Taylor (1,138)
Aaron Taylor
Imagine a grade school student from China who goes to a public school and is asked to swear an oath to the Chinese state every day along with the rest of his or her class at school. Imagine that the young boy or girl refuses to participate due to the fact that he or she is a Christian and does... ( added 1 year 351 days ago.) |
Judgmental Christian: An Oxymoron -
- Steve Radford (1,026)
Steve Radford
Sometimes I think more people would follow Jesus if it weren't for Christians. The reason is that people make up their mind about Christ, based on what they see in those that bear his name. Consider the following example. On a recent Sunday morning, at a church in the Midwest, two men were denied... ( added 2 years 45 days ago.) |

Christians And Their Causes: Are They Really Showing God's Love -
Laura Trahan (38,428)
Laura Trahan
I received an email today of "urgent concern." Apparently the government is set to take pastors such as Joel Osteen and others off the air. We will no longer get to hear the "message of God" on television and radios. The email is an attempt to collect signatures for a petition to defeat Petition... ( added 29 days 9 hours ago.) |
