Some Christians seem to have more confidence in the security of their homes than they do the security God has promised. Consider these three areas in which we can rest assured of God’s security.
What kind of security do you have in your home? Do you have any at all? It might just be something as simple as a dead-bolt lock.

Overcoming Discouragement
Contributed on Oct 25, 2006
By looking at how Nehemiah was able to keep the Jews’ spirits high while they rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem, we can gain some insight into how we, too, can keep from getting discouraged.

When God Says No
Contributed on Jun 17, 2006
I want us to look at what happens when God says no. Does that mean that God doesn’t care for us? Does it mean that He’s being cruel? Let’s take a look at a couple different times in scripture when God said no to his children’s prayers.
WHEN GOD SAYS NO Barbara Kerby has written a humorous reflection about her first experience of driving. Barbara’s father took her to the high school parking lot for driving lessons.

Contributed on Nov 5, 2006
One of the ESPN channels I really like is ESPN Classic. The entire network is dedicated to showing broadcasts of games that have already been played.
