    Twenty-Four Carat Faith

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2025
     | 268 views

    We don’t have to suffer for our faith. But we do have to live for it. And if we never grate against a sinful world, how true to Christ are we being?

    Peter is one of my favorite Bible characters. He’s the one who always opens his mouth before his brain has switched into gear and that’s a failing I have a lot of sympathy with. Remember when the disciples were alone on the boat out in the middle of the Sea of Galilee and they saw Jesus walking ...read more

    We live in an age of constant distraction. People start diets but give up in a week. Gym memberships are abandoned after January. Careers are changed at the first sign of hardship. Sadly, this same spirit of giving up can seep into our spiritual lives.

    When Your Soul Talks Back

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 131 views

    When your soul talks back with despair, answer it with Spirit-filled faith — stir up the gift and praise your God again.

    There are moments in life when faith feels like it’s lost its soundtrack. You still know the words, you still come to church, you still bow your head for prayer — but inside, something has gone quiet. You’re mouthing the lines of faith, yet your soul isn’t singing along. That’s what Psalm 42 feels ...read more
