"Stop clinging to Me..." John 20:17 The joy of the resurrection was tempered by the fact that He wasn't staying. Yet surely He will come again -Stephen Venable

Paul's Acts 17 sermon ends in a call for repentance because Jesus will judge. Many theological errors can be avoided if this is our call too. -Joshua Hawkins

Two of three detailed accounts of Jesus appearing after His resurrection describe Him eating food. Incline your ear to what He is saying through this. -Stephen Venable

If Jesus Himself is not the consuming focal point of worship, teaching and community, a "church" risks becoming just a tax exempt social club -Stephen Venable

Stephen and John the Baptist could have preserved their lives by keeping their mouths shut when in the presence of adversaries.
