MORGUE RESURRECTION LEADS TO OTHER MUSLIMS FINDING JESUS

steve-rees(October 14) Steve Rees shares a good news story (Note: Not real names mentioned hereunder) …

GOLDMINE! THE MESSAGE OF EASTER

George Forbes 2010Missionary statesman Dr George Forbes reminds us that the real message of Easter is a precious goldmine:

Easter is an annual holiday celebrated by many millions around the world. For devout followers of Christ it is a highlight of the year; a time to give thanks to God for his great gift. For many others it may be the one-day they attend a church, because it seems the right thing to do. They hope it might help when the day of accounting comes.

THE EXALTED CHRIST

Jim McClureDr Jim McClure, noted theologian, shares from scripture on the glorious exaltation of Jesus Christ:
