Contributed by David Dunn on Jun 13, 2026

God searches the earth for loyal hearts, strengthening those who trust Him, while warning believers against the subtle danger of self-reliance.

Contributed by David Dunn on Jun 7, 2026

Wonder Does What Cynicism Couldn't

Contributed by David Dunn on Jun 7, 2026

Jesus calls us beyond self-discovery into childlike wonder, helping us rediscover our Father's world and remain amazed by His presence.

Children are not models in every respect. They can be selfish, impatient, fearful, and completely unreasonable before breakfast. Jesus wasn't praising childishness.

Faith: I Got This (A Study In Habakkuk) Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Jun 7, 2026

Habakkuk teaches that faith is not understanding everything God does, but trusting God's character when life refuses to make sense.

Have you noticed how often people say, "I got this"? We say it when we're carrying groceries. We say it when we're fixing something. We say it when somebody offers help. "No thanks. I got this." Most of us like being in control. The problem is that eventually life hands ...read more

Contributed by David Dunn on Jun 4, 2026

God's delays are not His absence; while we wait for answers, He faithfully prepares our hearts, character, faith, and future.

Contributed by David Dunn on May 31, 2026

Because Jesus rose from the dead, our hope is secure, our future is certain, and the story is not over.

I keep a broken pencil on my desk. Every now and then someone notices it and asks why. Of all the things that could sit on a desk, why keep a broken pencil? My answer is simple. I keep it there to remind me of hope. Usually that earns me a puzzled look. Hope? A broken pencil? Then I explain. Even ...read more
