Contributed by Francis Chan on Sep 13, 2011

We have a new master in us--the Holy Spirit--that actually desires the things that are right and good.

It’s been another great week for me just studying the Word of God, and one of the things I love about the Bible is I, personally, tend to get distracted. I tend to get off course in life. You’re doing really well, and suddenly, you just start heading another direction. That’s one ...read more

A Passionate Pursuit Part 5 Series

Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Mar 28, 2010

The fourth reason of spiritual growth is that we will finish well.

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Jan 9, 2020

Just as the physical and mental health crisis continue to worsen in this country, another health crisis is growing at an alarming pace, and yet it doesn't even make the news. I'm talking about our spiritual health crisis--the true "silent killer."
