Let’s interview members of the early church to see how they handled disagreements
If you’ve ever disagreed with someone in your church about a serious issue, you know the conversations can escalate into full-blown conflict! So how do we relate well to other Christians during a dispute?
A Wedding, Two Funerals, and A Birth
By Amanda Wong We were looking forward to 2008 being a great year for the Lee family. Cousin Peng had announced that he would marry his longtime fiancée, Marilyn, on January 8—an auspicious date according to Chinese tradition. With the year starting on such a bright note, we believed that more glad tidings would follow. [...]
Space Music
One of NASA’s observatories has discovered a giant black hole that hums. Located in the Perseus cluster of galaxies about 250 million light years from Earth, the black hole vibrates at the frequency of a B flat. But it is too low a pitch to be picked up by the human ear. Scientific instruments have placed the note at 57 octaves below middle C on a piano.
Another thought-provoking message in a series on unity in the church
There are some differences of opinion that could tear a community apart. Let's look at a disagreement that arose in the early church over the food they had to eat.
Jesus Loves Me
On cold days, our old dog moves around the yard, finding a sunny spot to stretch out on the grass to keep herself in the warmth of the sun.
Find guidance for dealing with differences in a biblical way
Even in the early church, men and women had different opinions about how their faith should be lived out in their day-to-day lives. Let's study Romans chapter 14.
Our Fathers’ Children
By Sheryl Tay, Singapore When we were children, such were our days: Sitting on our father’s lap, playing with the cushion… “Fluffin’ it up,” or so he calls it, When dust poofs and covers his face.

Welcome To All!
A beautifying project on the main road of my town prompted the demolition of a church built in the 1930s. Although the windows of the empty church had been removed, the doors remained in place for several days, even as bulldozers began knocking down walls. Each set of doors around the church building held a message written in giant, fluorescent-orange block letters:
Visions Become Reality
The parched ground shall become a pool . . . —Isaiah 35:7
We always have a vision of something before it actually becomes real to us. When we realize that the vision is real, but is not …
Avoid Dehydration
A couple of times in the past few years I’ve experienced dehydration and, believe me, it is not something I want to repeat. It happened once after I suffered a torn hamstring while cross-country skiing, and another time in the 115-degree heat of an Israeli desert.
