That arrangement at least eliminates arguments over whose turn it is to pray, although enthusiasm for the task varies considerably. We don’t have a set ...read more

When I tried to share my pain some people offered a quick word of comfort but they really did not have the time ...read more

    The answer to Job’s anguished question of "Why?" does not come in words but in presence.

    I met Janet at a party, several years ago, the kind of combination business/social gathering where people talk shop, and network, and make superficial small talk. It’s the sort of event I usually avoid if at all possible, but of course it wasn’t always possible. Anyway, for some reason Janet ...read more

    Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jun 18, 2001
    based on 48 ratings
     | 16,241 views

    Someone who sits idly without a purpose is an easy target for temptation. We are easily drawn away when we don’t have a purpose we are reaching for. When we are reaching ahead, we have to stop and change directions in order to sin.

    Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose The final step I want to focus on in overcoming sinful habits is your purpose. Each of our lives has been created by God for a purpose. As long as we are living outside of that purpose, there will be emptiness and a desire to crowd our lives with pleasures and ...read more
