I am genuinely grieved at the way we have let the doctrines of free will and election divide us as followers of Christ. Can we find common ground? Let me start with some common ground, two foundati…
The thought of God for us is for good and not of evil. Well, I am sure you have probably read that before. This is the theme of the Action Power Devotional for today. What is the thought of God for us? I want you to read today’s devotional and share with your friends. I […]
God wants us to use this time He’s given us to serve Him with all our hearts. I pray that’s what God’s people would do.
If you feel like you have messed up God’s masterpiece, don’t worry, He is in the business of restoration. He has all the equipment and knowledge to restore your masterpiece to its original purpose …
We don’t want to ask for help or let anyone see our flaws. We make a mess of things and ask for help after the fact. Or worse, we make a mess and then just try to hide so no one will discover our f…
This magnificent and beautiful doctrine flows right off the pages of Scripture and is repeatedly confirmed by daily observation.
By Elizabeth Prata The Halloween season is over (and a huge praise the Lord from all teachers!) and now we are looking at the blessed time of Thanksgiving and Christmas. I see the usual debates on …
When I brought home an old worn out table that was bound for the trash, the first thing I did was sand a little corner and wipe it down with water to see what it would look like after the restorat…
Are you fighting battles that would be better fought if you had the shield of faith covering you? Do you put on the breastplate of righteousness to guard your heart? Are your feet fit with the Gosp…
The disciple John is often described as ‘the one who Jesus loved’. In his own book, he describes himself that way 6 times (for example, in John 13: 23). Most people agree that John was the youngest of the 12 disciples and the others were therefore like big brothers to him. There are hints of that, even a few years on, in key stories in the early chapters of Acts where another older disciple is taking the lead.
Honestly, I don’t want to live with an old, damaged, ugly, useless spirit. I don’t want to be a fixer upper, I want to be the Restored. So how do we get there?
Do you ever feel like an old run-down building, searching for the beauty within? Do you have trouble seeing yourself the way God sees you?
If you held the pen, how would you write your story? Urged into telling your story by may excite feelings of regret or shame.
“Exciting” just didn’t express fully how I felt dating Larry as we graduated from high school and began attending college. We’d been enjoying each other’s company for about ten months and when the subject of our different churches came up, it seemed simple enough: “let’s visit each other’s church so that we can get to know each other better.” Sounded great to me.
Imagine going back in time more than 4,000 years and finding the ancient world, in many ways, like the world […]
If you have been a Christ-follower for any length of time, you have encountered that critic who decries the Bible as “inconsistent,” because the old covenant God is harsh and wrathful while the supposedly same God of the new covenant is all about grace and love. Almost like it’s two different Gods. I understand how…

Job asked an interesting question, one worth pondering over. First, let’s agree that not all wicked people prosper and not all prosperous people are wicked. N
Good day beautiful people, I pray that this post meets you well? Today I want to remind us all that God will never forsake His children. Be encouraged and be of good cheer for The Lord is near. Jos…
What is God doing? Is he doing anything at all? The skeptic would say that God is doing nothing detectable by the investigations of science, so there is reason to believe he does not exist at all. The deist would say that God has already done what he intends to do, and now God is resting in his distant heaven as the universe spins onward. According to Christian theology, neither of these answers is acceptable. Instead, the Psalms depict a God at work in the world beyond our imagination. For ...
