The seven sayings of Jesus on the cross help us meditate on the meaning of his sacrifice.
Put Prayer First
If we want to be disciples, we must learn to sit at the feet of Jesus.
by Aaron WhiteWe cannot do the things Jesus tells the church to do without the presence and power of God in us. Yet we often neglect prayer.
As Jesus enters Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, he finds a city that does not know the things that make for peace. What does he see in the cities of our nation?
In Light of Eternity
None of us will live forever, but greater things are still to come.
by Lieutenant Laura Hickman“If I only had a week, a month, a year left to live, would I want to know? How would I spend my last days?” I’ve found myself thinking a lot about this lately.
If so many others struggle as I do, why do we make light of it at potluck meals? Why are we so concerned about offending those we visit if we decline the offered temptation? Why do we never preach the myriad of biblical references to gluttony?

Giving is not only a financial issue, it’s a heart issue.
Self-Denial or Partners in Mission?
Whatever you call it, we are responsible for each other.
by Commissioner Susan McMillanAt this time of year, our thoughts often go to The Salvation Army around the world, as we participate in the Self-Denial Appeal.
Why don’t we talk about the things we don’t talk about? That sentence might sound funny, but there’s nothing funny about the silence of Christ-followers when it comes to certain areas of faith.
