The Darkness Of The Crucifixion Matthew 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44 When Jesus went to the cross there was a period of three hours which is not given much notice in sermons that are preached. Of course, there is actually no way we can know all that went on in that three hours, unless it …

Our Deportment Colossians 4:5-6 The word “Walk” has to do with one’s conduct or deportment (behavior). On grade cards teachers use to grade their students on their “Deportment”.

It just seems that people who profess themselves to be Christian, are more and more giving excuse for their rude, and sometimes lewd behavior, as “Well! Nobody’s perfect”. That is an acclamation of THE SATISFACTION OF IMPERFECTION. To excuse our sins as just …
Your Tithes and Your Offerings
It seems there needs to be some clarity on the issue of “Tithing”. Should we tithe? That is; are we required by Scriptures to tithe? I do not see it as a matter of “Have to”, but a matter of “Get to”. What better way of recognizing God’s ownership of all things than giving back …
