At the cross, Christ accomplished our salvation, forgiveness, and our justification (Isa. 53; Rom. 5:6-9). We need to remember the cross so it can have a constant and permanent influence on our lives. Each Lord’s Day, we “break the bread in memory of that great sacrifice on Calvary.”

I want to pose a couple of questions in this article. Do you personalize the cross? When we remember the shame and grueling pain our loving Savior accomplished on the cross, do we consider that our sins and iniquities put Him on the cross?

AS DEATH NEARS
(By Joe R. Price)

 

Hospice care is designed to ease physical pain and suffering as death nears. It is a helpful service that offers dignity, palliative care, and comfort to the person approaching death, as well as their families.

The Overflowing Love of God

If you've ever held a cup under a running faucet and watched as the water
spilled over, you've seen a simple representation of God's love for us.

Basically, our understanding of the Scriptures differs from the majority of the religious world because we operate on a different principle of interpretation. To most religious people "truth" is relative, adjusting…

What a familiar word! What a dangerous word. “I will do it tomorrow.” The tragedy of it all is that tomorrow never comes. If we don't do the things we should today, then today's things will never be done.

Solomon said, “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth” (Prov. 27:1). So uncertain is tomorrow that we dare not to trust our souls to it. If your soul is not right with the Lord, now is the time to do something about it. The apostle Paul said, “I have heard thee in…
