First Things First
Belief in Jesus comes first!
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall's reflection from September 23, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
It seems we’ve done a better job of re-forming human behavior than we have of revealing the only source of salvation. Jesus put the question: “Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
Steve Hall's reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
The fox who encountered fallen Saul
A tall tale: The voice from the sky was filled with that long-gone warmth, caress, and care
Click here to read John Pearring’s reflection from September 23, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
The fox would never be the same again. Fear and cunning would return, but the comfort of his mother, the joy of his brother and sister, and the order and care of his father would lie beneath everything from now on. He now knew that other voice—the voice of the kind man, who spoke in the radiant light.
John Pearring’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
