As Christians denial, particularly self denial is one of the marks of our relationship with Christ. What is its source and does it have any splendour?...
Before his enemies, Jesus rests in God's revealed provision and holds onto God's righteous purpose.
The Lord Jesus Christ will come again, embodied, to judge all people, who will receive what id due for what has been done in their body, whether good or evil.
We do not know when Christ will come again, but we know we need to be prepared for that day and that the time to prepare is today.
The job of the Christian minister isn't to smile more - it is to be text-based, and Christ-centered, so that you treasure Jesus Christ above all other things.
