Race Against Time

Wed, 04/30/2008 - 08:59 — T Michael Cart

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. -1 Corinthians 9:24-27Read more

Right In Front Of Us

Tue, 04/22/2008 - 08:26 — T Michael Cart

The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
-Genesis 11:6

Unity. The mere utterance of the word invites a deluge of social and political imagery of contrasting hues and varying intensity. Some welcome the idea; some dread it. Yet, all of us have very specific feelings toward it, depending on what we apply it to. Among those possible areas of application, is the church.Read more

Jesus Frustrated

Wed, 04/16/2008 - 06:19 — T Michael Cart

"When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, "'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'" Then Jesus said to them, "Don't you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?"
