“The Case for Christ” is a Must See this Easter

Finley Walker
no comments

“‘Logic!’ said the Professor half to himself. ‘Why don’t they teach logic at these schools? There are only three possibilities. Either your sister is telling lies, or she is mad, or she is telling the truth. You know she doesn’t tell lies and it is obvious that she is not mad. For the moment then and unless any further evidence turns up, we must assume that she is telling the truth’” (C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, 1950). “What is truth?” This is a question that every person who has ever lived has asked at some point. […]

New Faith-based Films Expected to Impact Lives

The good news in the world of faith-based films is that we are continuing to see increasing numbers of these films coming to theaters, touching millions of lives with their messages. Although there are occasional Hollywood-produced pseudo-faith-based films (e.g., “Noah” and “Exodus”) that distort the message, there has been no lack of truly inspiring, uplifting films with biblical faith messages. These movies inspire and encourage believers, providing a special opportunity for an uplifting experience for families. And since many people who are hesitant to come to church might accept an invitation to see a movie, these films often help reach […]

Christ in the Passover: Seeing Jesus through a Jewish Lens of Faith

Melissa Presser
no comments

The Jewish roots of our Christian faith run deep. The pinnacle of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ was precipitated by a Passover meal, one that represents the Paschal mystery in the New Covenant. Jesus is the true lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world — the final sacrifice for all humankind, manifested first at the Passover, the Last Supper whose celebration would endure forever. In Passover is every element of who Jesus was, what he stood for and why he came. To dig deeper, we look at all that occurred after God freed the […]

empty tomb

Let’s look back in time to that first Easter morning to celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. One of the greatest gifts of the empty tomb is the full life that has been promised. “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10, NIV). That full life was to come through the sinless life, sacrificial death and supernatural resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is an amazing truth that death and the grave could not hold our Lord Jesus. The Roman soldiers and the religious leaders could […]

So, what are you going to do with your tax refund? The average tax return is in the neighborhood of $3,000. Many people I meet with count on that refund to take a vacation, pay tuition or purchase something new. However, three out of 10 Americans (28 percent) expect to save or invest their tax refund, according to Bankrate’s new poll (’16). How you invest your windfall will be determined by how you plan for it . . . or neglect to plan. Here are some good ideas: 1. Build your emergency fund Without an emergency fund, just one surprise […]

Fixer-upper Husband?

Patricia Hartman
no comments

Several married friends have come to me recently frustrated with their husbands’ behaviors. Their husbands were not ______ing the way that they “should.” All three wives had different blanks, but the bottom line was that they had talked to their husbands about what they were witnessing, and their husbands did not heed their advice. My friends “knew” that what they were suggesting was better, or if they jumped in they could fix it.   Is that our calling? When you buy a house that needs fixing, you call it a fixer-upper. Once you buy it, you have to fix the […]
