    Jesus said, “I am the vine, and you are the branches: He who abides in me, and I in him produces much fruit.” The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. God places one of the fruits above the others. Love is above the others

    What is LOVE? 1. LOVE is a Fruit that comes from abiding in the vine. Abide in me, and I in you. A branch can’t bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine. Neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, and you are the branches: He who abides in me, and I in him produces much ...read more

    Can God Use Me?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 23, 2025
     | 156 views

    God’s work does not depend on perfect people or ideal conditions, but on ordinary men and women who listen and respond faithfully when He speaks, even in uncertain times.

    There is a question that lives quietly beneath a great deal of spiritual activity. It rarely gets announced. It doesn’t usually show up in public prayer. It hides behind busyness, behind service, behind long familiarity with faith. Can God use me? Not “Does God exist?” Not “Is the Bible ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 397 views

    God sent the hot east wind to rebuke the prophet Jonah. If we want to avoid the hot east wind from blowing over our lives we must set aside pride and disobedience and live in humility and obedience to the sovereign Lord.

    Our meditation is based on Jonah 4:8, “After the sun had risen, God sent a hot east wind, and Jonah was about to faint from the heat of the sun beating down on his head. So he wished he were dead. "I am better off dead than alive," he said.” (GNB) Jonah was a prophet of God who preached ...read more
