Favor
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Nov 23, 2009
| | A drama about back sliding - Also Easter.. Director's Notes: How is it that we allow ourselves to get caught up in other stuff that just pulls us away from the joy of our salvation? This drama shows that the most dangerous thing Satan can do to us is slowly and subtly encourage apathy and put stuff in our lives,that just doesn't matter. Another unfortunate thing here is how the, husband seems resigned
to his wife's spiritual condition...
The good thing about this drama is that it can also be used on Easter (or the week before as in this case) as a wa...read more |
It's About That Time!
By Darlene Thorne - Women in Worship - Nov 22, 2009
| | Quiet time could refer to those precious moments after the kids are in bed, but for Christians, a quiet time is more than that.

The Gift
By Terri Pettyjohn - Devotionals - Nov 22, 2009
| | “Colossians 2:13-14 “When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.”
It’s a shame that Easter only comes once a year, for on that one day we are reminded to the core of our spirits what Jesus suffered for us. The joyfulness of Easter morning is outlined by the suffering of the Cross. When we stop to ponder on the injustice of it all, I have to bow my head and weep. What did He see in me that caused...read more |
